Apple AirPods Max Review in 2024 - Still Worth it 3+ Years Later?
Apple's AirPods Max were clowned on immediately for their $549 price tag and the silly case they came bundled with but after more than 3 years of daily use, I think these headphones are still misunderstood. So in this video, we revisit the AirPods Max in 2024 to discuss how far they've come in terms of firmware updates, durability, pricing, and usability. We also discuss whether or not they're worth buying in 2024 even if AirPods Max 2 get released later this year. Enjoy!

The absolute must have accessory for these: not a case, but a silicone cover for the headband! There is no downside to the look and feel of the APM, but you do protect the most vulnerable part of the design from aging poorly. Its a must have.

Some restrictions have nothing to do with the chip. This includes, for example, personalized volume. This feature is not performed by the AirPods themselves, but is made possible by the machine of learning on the paired device. Conversation awareness is also a feature that should work. The microphones of the AirPods always listen anyway in order to be able to respond to Siri requests. They also recognize when speaking and do not read messages out loud while talking.

I agree with you on all of it. I love my max's and I use them mostly with a Windows PC for gaming and content consumption. I'm actually using them right now that way. The main reason I got them is for the transparency and ANC modes. Spatial audio is really good with my iPhone 15PM too. Best headphones I've ever had, only thing I would change is the lightning connector. The meme-worthy bra case does a really good job when traveling, fits in my carry-on backpack easily. I use the windows MagicPods app so the audio seamlessly switches between my PC and the Maxes when I take them on and off. Shows Battery percentage too. They work amazingly well in almost all situations except the gym. They tend to slide off during bench press and running on the treadmill. I use Powerbeats Pros for that. Good video, been subscribed for years.

I absolutely love mine. They feel great and sound amazing. But I’ve had a weird issue with mine ever since I got them. The slightest bump or movement on my head, and they make a little pop sound and disconnect then turn back on in transparency mode. I sent them in to be checked and repaired and got them back about a week later. They said they found nothing, and I never had an issue again. Until about a month later when the same issue returned. I still don’t know what the problem is.

I’m really thinking of buying the AirPods Max for at home use and I’d remain using my AirPods Pro outside. Is there a big difference between the H1 and H2 chips that the gen 2 max might have? Because if not I would just buy the first gen now.
@ndeeanka
@ndeeanka 6 дней назад
I think the big difference that the Gen 2 APM will have is USB C, conversation awareness, personalised volume and adaptive noise control that the Airpods Pro(2nd gen) have thanks to the H2 chip. And gen. 2 will obviously get upgraded with H2/H3 so those will be the only new features. I think the sound quality will be the same, so if these features are not a big deal to you i would recommend you get Gen 1 now

I loved my AirPods Max, best sound, best ANC, and best transparency by far. But I think they have a serious design flaw, just a year after I got mine whenever I touched the right earcup it died and the headset disconnected and restarted, and looking online A LOT of people have had this issue and it seems to be caused by the design of the connector between the earcup and the headband

When I bought my first pair of AirPods Max back in January 2022 (at 17 😁), they were amazing and I loved everything about them. I bought it from Amazon. However in August 2022, I experienced technical issues such as water damage, and no audio sound when connected, and random disconnections. From August 2022 to January 2023 I sent Apple my AirPods to fix. They claim to fix it, but each month the water damage was persistent and wouldn’t go away after Apple fixed it. So it made me sad to slowly give up fixing my AirPods; later in August 2023 , I saved up and I went to buy a new pair from Apple and it’s been great ever since. I hope Apple releases a new model with the new H chip and USB- C and 30 or 40 hour battery life. Great video as always Brandon and voice too!

Not pulling the trigger on the APM due to 1)lightning port, 2) so many problems people report, and 3) stupid case that I cant get over. Really hoping to see if APM2 going to come out soon. I'm decided that APM are better for me (being 100% in the apple ecosystem) than the Bose or Sony offerings. I recently picked up the B&W Px7 S2e and B&O H95 to scratch the itch, but I think APM2 will be an instabuy for me (with apple care, of course).

@tom123216
@tom123216 Месяц назад
I think the reasons for not getting one are quite clear - cold aluminium cups + humid warm ear canal = condensation issues that will eventually kill all APMs. Most people I know who own one have had theirs die after 2 years. Planned obsolescence? - connector issues on right ear cup - fragile & flexed mesh band after long term use, no longer supports weight after it is loose = too heavy - ear cups that knock each other when you wear them around your neck - design that doesn’t let you fold the cups both ways, you can’t rest them on your collarbone without rotating them the wrong way - if you forget the bra case = constantly draining & recharging, = poor long term battery health - lightning connector - sound leaks a lot - silicone rubber eventually becomes stained and shiny/sticky

One thing I will say is if you have APMs, definitely try out using them wired as they do sound noticeably better and are good up to around 24/48 quality.

Are these good at all for mixing music? My buddy has a new pair he’ll sell me for 250 but I’m hesitant because they’ve been out for 4 years they’ll make a new pair with the M2 chip in them and I’d rather just wait a few months and pay $450 for the newest ones. I am thinking of getting into mixing music again now that I have time and a new focusrite interface. I may honestly wait til I build up my guitar collection again
@Clarence_attheclub
@Clarence_attheclub 25 дней назад
1. No, they're not at all for mixing music. they can be good for quick and convenient connection on the go, but they're made to sound pleasing to general listeners, which includes boosted basses and highs. Music mixing should only be done with flat, balanced headphones that go for much cheaper than the Max's. You should also never mix audio with Bluetooth wireless connectivity because of the lag. 2. The M2 chip doesn't go in their headphones, the H chips do. 3. They're $550 new at retail, not $450.
@sigiligus

No lol. I guess they’re no worse than any wireless cans if you want to do a test for how the mix sounds across different devices, but actually doing the raw mix on ANY wireless audio device is such a joke that you should feel embarrassed for asking about it. It’s like asking if you can put diesel in an LPG car to make it sound louder.

I got my AirPods Max about 6 months after they were released, and I don’t use them every day, but I do use them multiple times per week. I love their ease of use, due to being always on and immediately connecting, and I completely agree about their case design. Traveling with them is by far the simplest for over-ear headphones, and I also have had no worries about damaging them. I enjoy watching TV shows and movies with them; however, I turn elsewhere for listening to music. I think vocals could be better, and the bass is far too weak for my taste. I have Bose QC Ultras for music and I love the way they sound. But I don’t use them as much because the case is more of a hassle, they take longer to connect, and toggling between ANC/immersion requires me to hold down a button for like 3 seconds. They’re less convenient, but I still love those headphones. I also have had no problems ever with battery life on the APM. And again, I turn to these by far the most for over-ear use due to pure convenience. Super easy to stow in their case, always on and ready to connect, and very quick to change volume or toggle between hearing modes. I really couldn’t think of a better design.

And not being able to turn them off. They are always on. How many times i have charged them. Not used them for a few days and came back to a low battery. This is the worst for me.

I just got my first set of these 2 days ago on eBay for $350. They were brand new still wrapped. Because of that, they’re on an old firmware (8 updates back) and I’m having trouble getting them updated since you can’t force an update and have to wait for it to happen automatically. As they are now, they sound awful. Nearly no bass, they’re very tinny. The transparency mode is garbage too, especially compared to my AirPods Pro earbuds. I really hope they update soon so I can hear how they’re supposed to be now. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the video, Brandon!

headphones really shouldn't go out of date.. meaning that while updates and added features are nice, they should at the very least be operable as headphones as long as they work.. I hope that's the case with these.

Day one AirPods Max user here, not regretting it at all! They are still as you say absolutely perfect, I just wish I didn't take them in white since the ear cups can look dirty after a while. But thankfully you can just pop them out and clean them easily. I am still a fan

I bought my AirPods Max last year, and I loved them from the very first day I used them; they blew my mind. However, they started updating their firmware automatically, which I really hate. Now, the noise cancellation doesn't seem as strong or amazing as it was on the first day. When I first got them, the AirPods Max would block every, and I mean EVERY other noise. But nowadays, I still hear noises going on around me, like when I'm in my classroom and have ANC on, but I still hear other students talking(unless I play music) Is it just me whose facing this? am i just overreacting? because im pretty sure Noise cancellation is suppose to block all other sounds, especially conversations near you, but for some reason i can hear almost every word of a conversation near me And for some reason i dont see the mute call option on my airpods max settings😳i never even knew this feature existed until i watched this video

They are my favorite headphones. Or I should say they were my favorite. I bought the silver ones with white mesh because I wanted to match my M2 iPad Pro. Unfortunately, the ear cuffs get reslly dirty. I tried everything to clean them up and that's how, I think, they got messed up. They did used to get the condensation. I was about to throw the ear cuffs in the washer! 😂 Anyways, they stopped working, the won't even charge anymore. I got them brand new f when Best Buy ran a sale for $100.00 off. Now, they're dead in a drawer. I used them for about one year.

My guilty pleasure owning APM. Other than the excellent sound quality and overall functionality, the tight OS integration with iOS, MacOS, TVOS, everything in the ecosystem is seamless. Easily switches devices w/o a hiccup, hesitation or media stall. It just works so well. The sleep mode is amazing lasting for weeks never losing the charge. Yeah, would buy them again. Thanks Brandon.

I tried the AirPods Max at a store, but sadly my head is too small for it. Even in the smallest size. If Apple will come with a smaller size AirPods Max, I will definitely buy them, because the sound quality is indeed incredible🎧

You got lucky. We have bought 3. 2 needed repair in the first year, and slowly degraded (connection issues and failures). I bought the 3rd after the first pair died after the 2 year AppleCare expired, because I need them to travel and do con-calls. I bought the 3rd to get Apple care again. I hope this pair lasts longer.

Talking about the condensation; It happens and will happen. I think the important point is to avoid the moisture going inside the pinholes. The drivers etc. should be sealed. Humidity with intouch the connectors can cause the famous condensation death in 2 Weeks to 2 years. Solution? Duct Tape lmfao.

I'm an Android user so i cant speak for the Apple experience. But i can say that the Airpods Max are the best headphones, if you have an iPhone It's at par with offerings like the Sony 1000XM5s or the premium ones from Bose But Sony and Bose are built with general usage consumption in mind (meaning if somebody uses a Sony or a Bose headphone on Android or IOS, they'll have a similar usage experience on both) Airpods Max can be used to its full potential if you're using an iPhone (you can use it on Android too since at the end of the day, its a bluetooth device but it compromises on features that make Airpods Max unique just because it was not made for Android usage in the first place) These are my two cents on the Airpods Max, I hope this makes sense

i purchased the air pods max used because of this video . ive had the Sony XM4 , Sony XM5 , bose QC 2 , bose 700 , Bose QC 45 , Bose QC ultra and they all sound very good to me. even the latest Beats much improved but in my opinion the sound quality was better on the Air pods max . not the most comfortable for long listening but not horrible , and being an apple eco system guy i made the switch back to max ! The build quality and look is also a lot more premium to me as well .

Mostly agree with all you had to say. Would still like an off switch. I realize these are designed to mimic the smaller AirPods, including the case, I would prefer an off switch on these. Also would like to see water resistance. And while phone use is ok, I would like to see better mic quality. Finally $400 is enough for quality blue tooth headphones.

Plenty to add and improve for gen 2! USB-C (I still wish they found a way to bring wireless charging to it, but god knows how) Conversation Awareness, Personalised Audio and Adaptive Transparency like the AirPods Pro 2 Lossless via Bluetooth, come on Apple you can do it! Lighter aluminium alloy. I love the premium unique feel of them, but they absolutely could lose a bit of weight I still hold a candle for automatic right and left ear detection, it’s the sort of feature that Apple thrives on. Just put them on without caring if they are “the right way”.

I’m sure they’re not bad, but they are not worth $900 (Australian dollars in this post). When Bose’s last gen QC45’s still have better ANC, are more portable, and more lightweight. And cost $390 these days. AirPods Max are still being sold at full price.
