  The headphones I didn’t know I needed

  I bought these because I needed a good pair of over-ear headphones for work. I already use my AirPods Pro 2 for running and everyday use, but I wanted something with better noise cancellation for my Mac and Windows PC. After about two weeks of using them, I can honestly say they’ve exceeded my expectations.The noise cancellation is outstanding. Once I put them on, the outside world just fades away. Whether it’s people talking nearby, the TV in another room, or the hum of the air conditioner, these do an amazing job helping me stay focused. They’ve become my go-to headphones whenever I need to get work done.Sound quality is excellent too. Everything sounds clear and balanced, whether I’m listening to music, editing videos, or jumping on long video calls. They’re also incredibly comfortable. They felt a little tight during the first couple of days, but I found the trick of gently stretching the headband for a few seconds before putting them on. After about a week of regular use, they naturally loosened up and now they’re comfortable enough to wear for hours.On my Mac they’ve been flawless. Pairing is instant, and switching between Apple devices is exactly what you’d expect. On my Windows PC I’ve had the Bluetooth connection drop a couple of times. I’m guessing that’s more of an Apple and Windows compatibility quirk than a problem with the headphones, since it hasn’t happened often and reconnecting is quick.Battery life has been excellent, and the build quality feels premium from the moment you take them out of the box. They weren’t something I originally planned to buy, but they’ve quickly become one of my favorite tech purchases this year.If you spend hours at a computer, travel often, or just want an incredible pair of noise-canceling headphones, these are absolutely worth considering.Ver másVer menos

  Apple Girl Approved: These Headphones Made Me Break Up With Every Other Pair

  I’m not going to lie, I am very much an Apple product girl. Ever since I got my first iPhone, I never really looked back. So when I tried the Apple AirPods Max 2 in Starlight, I already had high hopes, but these headphones still managed to impress me.First of all, the look? Clean, expensive, and very “I have my life together even if my tabs are chaotic.” The Starlight color is soft, pretty, and classy without doing too much. They also come in other colors, but Starlight has that luxury neutral vibe that matches almost everything.The wear is one of my favorite parts. These are over-ear headphones with soft memory foam ear cushions and a knit-mesh canopy, so they feel premium the second you put them on. They do have a little weight to them, but in a quality way, not a cheap bulky way. The telescoping arms make the fit feel customized instead of awkward, and they sit comfortably without feeling like they are squeezing my head for rent.Now let’s talk about the sound because that is where these really earn their spot. The quality is beautiful. Music sounds full, clear, and rich, and the noise cancellation is one of those features you do not realize you need until you use it and suddenly the world is muted like a toxic group chat. The Adaptive Audio and Personalized Spatial Audio make everything feel more immersive, whether I’m listening to music, watching videos, taking calls, or just trying to lock in and ignore everything around me.The connectivity is smooth, especially with Apple devices. If you already use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, these fit right into the Apple ecosystem like they were always supposed to be there. Bluetooth pairing is easy, and I love that they now have a USB-C port. The lossless audio through USB-C is a major plus if you care about sound quality and want that extra crisp experience.Battery life is solid too. You get up to 20 hours of listening time, which is perfect for long work days, travel, cleaning days, content editing, or those moments when you put headphones on just so nobody talks to you. They are rechargeable, easy to use, and the controls feel natural once you get used to them. I also love having the microphone, voice control, touch control, and Conversation Awareness because it makes them feel smart without being complicated.One thing to know: they are not water resistant, so I would not treat these like workout headphones or wear them in the rain. These are more luxury everyday headphones, not “let me sweat through my whole gym session” headphones.I have used other headphone brands before, so this is not me just blindly choosing Apple because it is Apple. But honestly? These are by far my favorite headphones. From the comfort, to the sound, to the design, to how smoothly they connect with my devices, they just feel like a premium experience all around.If you are already an Apple person, these are going to feel like a natural upgrade. If you are picky about sound, comfort, and style, they are worth looking at. And if you want headphones that look good in photos while also actually performing well, the AirPods Max 2 understood the assignment.

  Seamless for Apple users

  I’ve been using the AirPods Max 2 for a few weeks now, and they’ve become my go-to headphones for work, travel, and relaxation.The sound quality is truly remarkable. It’s clean, detailed, and punchy without overwhelming the bass, which remains clear and crisp. The Active Noise Cancellation is another standout feature. Once activated, everyday noise like the hum of the air conditioner, conversations, and appliances fades into the background, making it much easier to focus.While they do have some weight, they feel premium heavy rather than uncomfortable. The soft ear cushions and the mesh headband distribute the pressure evenly, allowing me to wear them for extended periods without any discomfort.If you’re part of the Apple ecosystem, the experience is even better. Pairing is instant, and switching between your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is seamless. The battery life has also been impressive, providing full-day usage without any issues.These AirPods Max 2 are definitely an investment, but if you’re looking for top-tier ANC, immersive sound, and seamless Apple integration, they deliver on all fronts.Ver másVer menos

  For those who stay connected.

  I bought these to have something at my desk so I'm not wearing my AirPods Pro 3s all the time, and for better ANC. Worth noting upfront: when on Discord via an Apple device, others told me the mic sounds worse than the Pro 3s, and I haven't tried the mic on windows yet. The noise cancellation is about the same, slightly better than Pro 3s thanks to the cups, but not night and day. The sound is just as clear and crisp, but with a roomier, more immersive quality. Paired with ANC, I feel really connected to whatever I'm watching or playing.Fit took some adjustment. They started heavy, tight, and painful after an hour, and I constantly repositioned them for the first two days. Then the clamp loosened and they became comfortable enough, though still heavy. I can tell the top fabric part will loosen over time, it started out firm but already feels looser than day one. The cups feel nice, big, soft, my ears fit in them and they're removable for cleaning. Overall the whole thing has a premium metal quality. They kinda clank together when taking them out of the little case they come with, so I could see that causing some dent or scratch.They feel heavy, sturdy, metallic. I would not work out in these, on a hot day I already sweated into the cups and I don't want to risk water dmg by sweating more into them. They give me AirPods functionality in a headset so I can save my Pro 3s battery life for work outs or commutes. I use Magicpods on windows to swap between that and my other apple devices. My main use for these is in the house, walking around, casual stuff, but if traveling I'll probably bring them. Other headsets sound better but don't let me stay connected the same.It's expensive for what it is, I think we are paying for that Apple logo and functionality for sure, but I value that seamless switching convenience and anc. When I go to another room or kitchen from being on my pc, I switch to my phone and continue the call or play another song.Ver másVer menos

  VERY happy w/sound signature, coming from Audio Technica ATH-M50x & ATH-M50xBT2, & AirPods Pro 3

  I bought these hoping the sound signature would be similar to the AirPods Pro 3, and to replace my fantastic Audio Technica ATH-M50x and wireless ATH-M50xBT2 as my main over-ear closed-back headphones.TL;DR:The AirPods Max 2 have met or exceeded all my hopes and will likely be my go-to headphones of any kind. They might be the new GOAT for over-ear closed-back headphones for me.They are the first over-ear pair that could unseat the ATH-M50x (my GOAT for over-ear closed-back), rival my beloved Koss Porta Pro (GOAT for on-ear), and compete with the AirPods Pro 3 (GOAT for in-ear)*.*Judged purely by sound signature and my very picky tastes. Your mileage may vary. But if you love any of those as GOATs, you’ll probably love the Max 2.I cover:1 Why I chose these three (four, counting M50x vs BT2 for the parametric EQ) for comparison.2 Noise cancelling (the main reason I risked buying them).3 Sound signature (most important to me).4 Spatial Audio and what it’s actually for.5 Dolby Atmos in movies/TV and music.6 Battery.7 Other features (they’re all great as expected from Apple, I won’t dive deep).8 Conclusion.Full Review:I compare everything to the ATH-M50x (best sound signature I’ve ever found for closed-back over-ear) and Koss Porta Pro (perfect sound signature but on-ear and zero isolation).For in-ear, the AirPods Pro 3 are the first I’ve tried that compete favorably with the M50x series. I’ve tested many others over the years; most lacked good noise cancelling. The Pro 2 were decent but nowhere near the Pro 3.The Pro 3’s noise cancelling spoiled me, so I waited for the Max 2 to see if they could deliver a sound signature as good or better than the Pro 3 while getting close to the M50x in a proper over-ear closed-back design.Noise CancellingThe Max 2 completely satisfied me here. They’re so good they might take the overall GOAT crown for me (still letting them “cook” a bit longer to confirm).Excellent noise cancelling, though the Pro 3 is slightly better overall, the Max 2 let in a bit more high-frequency noise (noticeable with loud fans or portable AC). The difference is minor and not worth quibbling over. They’re outstanding.Even with ANC off, the Max 2 isolate external noise better than the M50x. This was the key reason I tried them, otherwise I had no reason to move on from the M50x. The Pro 3 spoiled me, and I’ve been neglecting my ATH-M50xBT2 as daily drivers.I never prefer in-ear over over-ear long-term, so I wanted over-ear closed-backs with strong ANC and a signature close to the Pro 3 / M50x. The original Max lacked the H2 chip and predated the Pro 2, so I waited for the Max 2.Sound SignatureDifferences between my three personal GOATs are noticeable but all stay in the same excellent ballpark. They’re all great out of the box, unlike most headphones that stray far from my tastes.After extensive A/B comparing, the Max 2 is close to the sound from the M50x! This is a VERY good thing!! Except the Max 2 actually sounds much better to me! The Max 2 are louder at the same volume levels, so I had to match the volumes. Luckily the Apple Music app remembers the separate sound volumes when switching, so once I dialed that in, it was super easy to A/B.Bass is the biggest difference. Bass is wonderful, clean, controlled, and perfectly present. It sounds fuller to me. Deeper. More visceral. I actually physically feel it more in my ears too, even at moderate volumes, which I don't with the M50x. All without being overpowering or boomy. It is amazing to hear, honestly.Mids and highs are actually very similar.Soundstage, instrument separation, and imaging are superb, better than the M50x! One of the best I’ve ever heard.The Max 2 have more of a dynamic sound. I can hear that the amp is definitely the high dynamic amp they claim. Honestly this is the biggest difference compared to the M50x, which lacks that dynamic sound! It is really noticeable in the bass, but it is apparent everywhere. I am honestly amazed, as I didn't expect this difference.I tried Headphone Accommodations, Balanced Tone (“Slight” setting) and liked it a lot for most music, but the default out-of-the-box sound is already fantastic and really doesn’t need it, though.Overall, the Max 2 sound better than the M50x. I’m honestly surprised, and thrilled! My dream of modern noise-cancelling wireless over-ear closed-backs with a great signature has arrived!That said, the ATH-M50xBT2 still edges it out for me because of the excellent parametric EQ in the Audio Technica app. I can dial in any tweaks I might want. But out of the box, there is no comparison. Max 2 are phenomenal sounding!Apple really needs a proper parametric EQ at the iOS level (10+ bands, etc.) plus lossless wireless to make the platform unbeatable. The lack of EQ isn’t a deal-breaker though, the default tuning is so good for my tastes.If you love the Koss Porta Pro, ATH-M50x series, or AirPods Pro 3 sound signatures, you’ll very likely love the Max 2.They also go painfully loud, louder than any of the others I’m comparing.No wireless lossless is disappointing at this price, but not a deal-breaker for me (most headphones with it don’t sound as good anyway). Apple should have included it.Spatial AudioIt’s fantastic on the Max 2, even better than on the Pro 2/3.Understand what it does: Spatial Audio simulates true stereo (as producers intend for speakers) on headphones. Headphones can’t replicate real speaker stereo because you never hear the left channel in the right ear and vice versa.Spatial Audio fixes that, giving a more punchy, defined, front-centered sound with a faithful stereo soundstage.If you want the sound closest to what the producers intended for most music, use Spatial Audio (95% of the time that’s the case). With it on (especially head tracking), the Max 2 get closer than anything else I’ve heard to my Klipsch Chorus II speakers, you feel like you’re in front of a proper hi-fi system.I usually keep it on “Fixed” for music (I often listen with eyes closed), but switch to head tracking when I want the illusion of my actual speakers. Some prefer plain “headphone stereo” for the ultra-wide all-around stage; I love both and switch depending on mood.Dolby AtmosEven better on the Max 2 than on the Pro 2/3.For movies on Apple TV, nothing else at the headphone level compares. Apple has nailed it. With Spatial Audio and head tracking on, it feels like you’re in the theater as the mixers intended, sounds sync to the screen location. The deeper sub bass and wider soundstage on the Max 2 make it noticeably better than the Pro 3 (you feel it a bit in your ears). Only missing the chest rumble of a real sub.For music, Dolby Atmos shines on concert/live recordings where you want to feel “there.” For studio tracks, it often lacks the punch and flair of good stereo mixes, so I prefer regular stereo or Spatial Audio for most music. Producers should keep the energy/hype when doing Atmos versions.ComfortPleasantly surprised! Despite being heavier than the M50x (by ~100g), I don’t notice it much and actually find the Max 2 more comfortable overall, less pressure on top of my head.I can extend them further while keeping a perfect seal thanks to the spring-loaded cups. The M50x cups aren’t spring-loaded, so extending them loses the seal easily. The mesh headband and overall build also help stability.I’m glad Apple didn’t change the design much, folding or other common requests would likely hurt the comfort and consistent seal. These feel built like tanks for longevity: replaceable headband (pop off the cups, no crossing wires), magnetic ear pads (easiest to swap ever). They should last forever.Only real long-term concern from teardowns is potential moisture buildup inside the cans if heavily sweated in (not my use case, I’d use Pro 3 for gym). I’ve worn them continuously for 5+ hours with no comfort issues.BatteryMy biggest disappointment: only 20 hours. At this weight I expected much better (ideally 50 hours with ANC). The ATH-M50xBT2 gets 50 hours without ANC. Under 30 hours feels weak these days.Other featuresEverything else is excellent as expected from Apple, seamless integration, H2 chip features, premium build. They’re all talked about plenty elsewhere.ConclusionWhen considering the whole package — superb ANC, sound signature I love, excellent Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos (especially for movies), comfort, build quality, and Apple ecosystem integration — the AirPods Max 2 are my new overall GOAT headphones (over-ear closed-back, on-ear, or in-ear).I rate them 9.0/10.Main deductions (in no particular order):No proper parametric EQ at the OS level (Apple could crush this).No wireless lossless (24-bit/96kHz would’ve been great).20-hour battery life.Weight (non-issue for me personally, but could be lighter with titanium headband).Still an outstanding pair. Highly recommended if you like the sound signatures I mentioned.
