Our take on the Airpods Max (USB-C)

The USB-C AirPods Max is Apple's over-ear headphone, now charged through USB-C instead of Lightning. It pairs a stainless-steel and aluminum build with dual H1 chips, active noise cancellation, Transparency mode and Spatial Audio with head tracking. Sound is balanced and detailed, and noise cancellation ranks among the best in over-ear headphones. It suits iPhone and Mac owners who want tight ecosystem integration and premium materials; Android users lose most of the smart features, and the included Smart Case is widely criticized.
