Our take on the Apple AirPods Max Wireless Active Noise Canceling Over-Ear Headphones MWW43AM

The AirPods Max is Apple's premium over-ear headphone, built from aluminum and stainless steel with memory-foam cushions and Apple's H1 chip in each ear cup. It pairs instantly with iPhone, iPad and Mac, supports Spatial Audio with head tracking, and has strong active noise cancellation with a transparency mode. Reviewers rate its build and Apple integration highly but note the weight and the soft travel case. Against the Sony WH-1000XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra it trades lighter plastic designs and longer battery life for better materials and tighter Apple ecosystem features.

Questions and answers

How does the AirPods Max compare with the Sony WH-1000XM5?
The AirPods Max has better materials and tighter Apple integration. The Sony is lighter, folds flat and offers longer battery life, with noise cancellation that reviewers rate close.
Does it work with Android phones?
Yes, over standard Bluetooth, but you lose instant pairing, Spatial Audio and firmware updates. Noise cancellation and the controls still work.
Can I use it wired?
Yes, with Apple's Lightning to 3.5 mm audio cable sold separately. There is no headphone jack on the headphones themselves.
How long does the battery last?
Apple rates up to 20 hours with noise cancellation and Spatial Audio on. Charging is over Lightning, and a short charge gives several hours of playback.
What is in the box?
The headphones, the Smart Case and a USB-C to Lightning cable. No charger or audio cable is included.
Is the weight a problem for long wear?
At about 385 g it is heavier than most rivals. The wide headband and soft cushions help, but some owners feel pressure after several hours.
Where is the Apple AirPods Max Wireless Active Noise Canceling Over-Ear Headphones MWW43AM cheapest?
At Quill, for $686.99, as of our latest check.
