Our take on the Apple AirPods Max Headphones

The AirPods Max is Apple's over-ear noise-cancelling headphone, built from aluminum and stainless steel with a knit mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions. It pairs instantly with iPhones, iPads and Macs, offers active noise cancellation, transparency mode and spatial audio with head tracking, and is rated for about 20 hours of listening. It suits Apple users who want premium build and tight ecosystem integration; rivals like the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra are lighter, fold flat and cost less, while the Max stands out on materials and seamless switching across Apple devices.

Questions and answers

How does the AirPods Max compare with the Sony WH-1000XM5?
The Max has a more premium metal build and tighter Apple integration. The Sony is lighter, folds flat and offers a folding design and more features for Android users.
Does it work with Android and Windows?
Yes, over standard Bluetooth, but you lose instant pairing, automatic switching and spatial audio with head tracking. Noise cancellation and transparency still work.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates it at about 20 hours with noise cancellation and spatial audio on. A short charge gives several hours of playback.
Can I use it wired?
Yes, with a Lightning to 3.5mm cable sold separately, but the signal is converted to analog and does not support lossless audio.
Is the Smart Case required to turn it off?
No. The headphones enter a low-power mode when set down, and the case puts them into a deeper sleep, but it is not needed for normal use.

The headphones, the Smart Case and a USB-C to Lightning cable. No charger or audio cable is included.
