They have plenty of punch in tracks such as Highly Suspicious by My Morning Jacket, aggression when needed in Dr Dre’s Next Episode and enough power to give a full rendition of the deep bass in Lindsey Stirling’s Crystallize. Subtle when needed, the Max can still highlight detail even in complex tracks such as The Who’s Baba O’Riley. Grand orchestral scores delight with dynamic range and a wider sound than most. Every tone is finely balanced but they are not flat, with a pleasing, full and well-judged sound that is good at any volume. Mids are precise and do not dominate, while highs sparkle with energy and clarity. The Max produce the sort of fantastic sound you should expect, joining a rare bunch alongside the B&W PX7 and Sony WH-1000XM4 that sound so good you will be able to hear new elements in well-worn tracks.īass is powerful and tightly controlled: present when needed but not overpowering. The soft-touch plastic fabric case looks a bit like a bra or a handbag and does not protect the headphones. The headphones go into a standby state when taken off or put around your neck for a few minutes but only turn off when slipped into the case. There is also an enlarged digital crown jog-dial button, as previously seen on the Apple Watch, which you turn for volume and press once, twice or thrice for playback controls. The top of the right ear cup has a button for toggling noise cancelling modes press and hold it to put the headphones into pairing mode or continue hold to reboot them. It all works very well.Ĭonnectivity with other non-Apple devices was solid, but only Apple devices, such as an iPhone, can change settings and remotely control features such as the noise cancelling. They also have the option of having voice assistant access using the “Hey, Siri” wake word and having Siri read messages to you as they come in. The Max have Apple’s H1 chips in them, the same as the AirPods Pro, which means they have the same strong Bluetooth 5 connection supporting SBC and AAC audio formats, plus instant pairing and seamless, automatic switching between Apple devices. The Digital Crown lets you precisely control volume, skip between tracks, answer phone calls, and activate Siri.The digital crown works very well, including when wearing gloves, which touch controls falter. Crafted with acoustically engineered memory foam, the ear cushions gently create an immersive seal that is the foundation of incredible sound. A custom-designed mesh textile wraps the ear cushions to provide pillow-like softness while listening. The beautifully anodized aluminum cups feature a revolutionary mechanism that allows each cup to rotate independently and balance pressure. Telescoping arms smoothly extend and stay where you set them, for a consistent fit and seal. The stainless steel frame is wrapped with a soft-to-the-touch material for a remarkable combination of strength, flexibility, and comfort. The canopy spanning the headband is made from a breathable knit mesh, distributing weight to reduce on-head pressure. From cushion to canopy, AirPods Max are designed for an uncompromising fit that creates the optimal acoustic seal for many different head shapes - fully immersing you in every sound. The over-ear headphone has been completely reimagined.
