Apple AirPods Max Real-World Test (Headphones Comparison, Battery Test & Vlog) 

Visiting to your friends house and talking about it and experiencing together was the nicest part of the nice video

Out of all the Airpods Max videos, this is the one I liked most. And that part where you showed that to your friends, it's very nice. Good to see reactions of regular "non-nerd" people (Assuming they are).

This style of videos never gets old my fav way to watch any review I enjoy it a lot thank you!

Finally, a sensible review of these headphones on RU-vid. Thanks man.

I have both the xm4 and APM. All i can say is this is a good review of the headphone. Real life opinions are great and helpful for those who planning to buy the Airpod Max. The audio and features tested are exactly the real thing, even better than listening to binaural test.

Cool review man! The idea to put a mic inside to let us get a feel for the headphones is genius 👍🏻

The way you did the tests with the microphone in the headphones worked so well and was very useful. Excellent review as always! I know this comment is like 3 years late, been going through so many of his videos recently 😊

Watched this with my AirPods Pro in and every time you changed the sound mode I thought my buds were possessed... 🤪

Great videos David! The real world test series is a breath of fresh air for product review videos. Loved it, thanks!

Brilliant review. I watch all the other big RU-vid channels and to be honest you’ve really stepped up the review game 😁 brilliant style and so much talent. 👏

This was an outstanding video. I was really immersed. I wanna say good job!

Great video thanks really enjoyed it, and appreciate the effort you went to show them in real life situations. I loved the way you had a friend try them out to see what they think and compare the the ones they use themselves, I’ve not seen that before 👍

It has the perfect mix of real world testing, outdoor shots and real people testing it. Like that you put it beautiful shots of your walking around and buying stuff

I have been enjoying these real-world tests of yours for quite a while. Just wanted to throw in the rare comment saying good job. Keep up the great content!

Excellent piece. Best review I have seen of the Pods Max. Also the pasta looked fantastic!!!

Really enjoyable review, especially when you visited your friends! Very homey style section and felt comfy and candid! I really want these AirPods Pro max… but I’m trying to be patient and see if V2’s are released anytime soon with a better case… The price is steep…but I want them enough to cave in, even if it’ll hurt a bit. The sound quality, the build quality, the apple ecosystem integration, and the slim profile of them are really appealing. (All other headphones look GIANT oh my head, so I love the love the slim design of these)

late tanks for this good Vid. It helps me more then most others i could find, because you do some real world tests, what shows these Headphones strengths and weaknesses in a good way. After long time of deciding about the meaning of such pair of Headphones beside my other decent cable driven Ones, the deeper Price at my Retailer today and your helpful Infos let me pull the trigger. Glad i found this Infos, otherwise i would be to unshure still.(the real time ANC and the soundstage with the transparency mode was the one i was not shure. After your showcase it was a clear thing) So, thank you Dude, Kudos

I just want to say that this was a great, real world review of the APMs. Not to say that other reviewers don't do a great job, but you went straight into the variables that I think most consumers will think about compared to the technical details and specs of the headphones. What really made this video great was the vlog like style (well I guess you could say it was a tech review+vlog?). This one aspect, to me, helps provide a more real world, real people type of review for the APMS, especially when you had your friends try them and talk about it in a casual setting. Great work and awesome content👌

Always a GREAT experience bro.. Keep up the good work!!!

David Amazing Video so enjoyed and the puppy is absolutely beautiful,Thanks so much for sharing Deb👌✌

Thanks David 👊🏻☺️ This is a mouthful test and you have people who tested it for ya, and quite a good feedback to be honest. Well, your content is changing A LOT! 🙂🍲 Keep it up, and i’ll keep watching.

Great video Dave I'm not big on headphones but I enjoyed watching this.

The snow is beautiful 😍 ❤ great review 👌

Love seeing the snow ❤️👌 Great review!

Love your videos. They're always a joy to watch.

Been waiting for this! Great video!

Love your review style man. It's very comfortable and relatable

Always visit friends as part of the vlog! Sigh, I miss NYC. I miss snow days in NYC. Been 10 years since I left. Completely agreed with your friend on the convenience aspect.

Great Video. The visit to the friends house and their input was great. Apple has realized that they have such an enormous fan base that their fans will pay practically anything for an Apple product. AND - all other things being equal, Apple products are beautiful and function incredibly well. They have established a top tier brand and people are more than willing to pay a lot of money for their products. Great video! Keep 'em coming!

Great video. You picked the right color. All ready ordered mine.

Your reviews are so different and vloggy not so much of the same thing I really love'em, I know I don't want these my sony wf1000xm3's work just fine lol but I wanted to see what you thought and wanted to see your day 🔥💯💪🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The best review on RU-vid great work

I heard about you from Mr Mobile’s road trip video. I like your style of video making. It’s concise, it holds my attention, it’s fun yet without that ever so popular snark or edginess other RU-vidrs exhibit. I’m a subscriber now.

Very wholesome video and review. Keep up the great work! You've earned a new sub :)

I like this kind of video👌 Real world testing video are very entertaining Keep up the good work👍

Another great and unique review. Thanks!

Great video man.... Appreciate the work!

A great video as always ! I love your real world tests. We can actually relate. The Sony have a great sound and they don’t cost as much. The noise canceling seems better on the Sony. The dog is so cute.

the microphone put in the airpods actually amazed, I've never used any noise canceling anything so that was fricken cool

The shiba Inu was my favorite part of the video. He’s gorgeous 😍😍😍

Awesome review, love your style bro.

Great video, one of the best covering these headphones. Stylish, enjoyable, with lots of good info and perspective. You gave us both a sense of how they fit into the market and how they'd fit (or not fit) into our lives. AND the flow felt natural. I'm guessing that planning, arranging, and editing were challenging to get just right, but you pulled off quite a trick. Made it look easy. Is the case useless on purpose, to create a 3rd-party market?

Great review! I like the real world point of view

Great review with real-world examples and comparisons. Nicely done, thanks for sharing!

Fantastic video, great comparison. I was hoping you’d do a bit more in-depth sound comparison with the Monblancs ... you made me very curious.

Loved the vid looking forward to the next one!

Awesome review Man!...loved it!!

Awesome job great efforts bro ✌🏻

Thanks For the Video bro. Been waiting for this.

It’s always a great morning waking up to one of your Real world test videos...

So far the best review of Airpods Max. 👍🏼👍🏼

I love those day in life videos 😍

really liked the new part of showing it to non tech savy people keep up buddy

What a wholesome video :) Well done

Thanks David, superbly entertaining video. Happy with my Sony's, nuff said.

just found your channel - LOVE IT❤️

Very great test

Thank you for the video.

Best color! Awesome video :)

one of the best review videos I have seen on the Airpods Max. It made my decision easier as I found them on sale for 400 dollars

Really this is the perfect review. Stick to this length. Let's hope 2021 has a million subs in store for you.

Ambient sound on the Airpods was way better than the other two. I have the Sony M3's, but will probably get the Blue Airpods to match my new Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max. I'm jealous of your snow, would love a white Christmas in the UK.

Really liked seeing that your “normal” user friends thought of them! Great video.

Best review and helped me make a decision, thanks!

As usual, its always very incisive especially to someone who is blind. You can really hear the differences between all those headphones. On top of all those you review, we always have a little tour of the new environment like a good tour guide. Keep it up and I still love to enjoy this real world test.

Aww, as if I possibly need any more reasons to just love your videos even more than I already do! I wasn’t prepared for the absolute cuteness that is 14:07 (the whole obnoxiously cute puppy content) and I think it's just too much! ☺️😍 Also, that delicious food content 15:02… looks absolutely amazing! 😋

Nice vid, as ever. This is one Apple product I can definitely resist, although I'd still like to try them out!

The thing I liked about this the most was the experience. I feel like I lived your life for the day. Also the AirPods max seem like great headphones - not so outlandish of a price for someone with a bunch of gift cards!

Please make a review about the Montblanc. They look awesome

This was a lovely video. Thank you. I have the Sony WH 3, Bose QC, AirPods Max, Powerbeats Pro and AirPods Pro. The Max destroys the others, in my book. I especially love spatial audio. I expect Apple will release a new Apple TV that will allow for spatial sound. I expect them to launch other enhancements for the Max too. The Powerbeats are my go to for cycling, which I do a lot. I exercise in the Powerbeats and AirPods Pro. I typically wear my Bose in bed. They are light and comfy. I can even place my head on pillow if I want. The Max I will wear when watching movies, listening to music and possibly for travel. Just yesterday, I ordered a soft/premium drawstring bag for the Max. I think it will protect them pretty well (with booty shorts case) in my backpack. The most important earphones for me are the AirPods Pro. The noice canceling is great, transparency very good, nice sound and small. They are my Zoom friends and are a part of my EDC-every day carry-along with Spyderco pocket knife, Streamlight flashlight, mask, small hand sanitizer and iPhone. I can’t forget LCP 2, when necessary. The AirPods Pro and Max are a great team. I will likely give my Sony’s to my son. I used to keep them in my travel backpack/briefcase, but had started just using AirPods Pro on plane flights. Keep up the great work. Your friends are great sports. Happy Holidays.

Great video!!! 👍🏻

Loved your real life review. I watched it with my brand new AirPods Max. I have the same Bose 35 series your friend has.. and I agree, the AirPodsMax is better. To me, much better. Now, I never worry about folding them up as your friend, but the weight distribution on my head is a big deal.. just that would have been worth the price difference to me. However, the Bose was given to me by my last company.. hard to complain. Last night, I was trying to use my Bose, which is almost 4 years old, and had trouble with my bluetooth connection. It's always been a problem in that once its connected to .. like my AppleTV, and now I want to use it on my iMac, the connection is difficult. Need to unhook, (i.e. forget the device), to pair with the other. So, far my new AirPodsMax has been seamless on that front. As far as the money goes... it was steep for me, but I use either my tax refund, or my work bonus to treat myself, so I don't let price be the issue.. I just make sure its the thing I want. Finally, I agree about the case... for all that you and I might have gleaned from the price - that Apple was making a high-end device, that really is oxymoronic.

Using more side pressure may be a good way to aleviate some of the weight on the top of the head, but it makes for some fun potential headaches for folks with glasses. So far all headphones that use that approach have ended up going straight back. Soft padding doesn't really help either (depends on the glasses, but with most of mine that's a nope), so typically it's either light headphones or ones that use a fancy weight distribution on the top of the head.

Wow. Great video! Fun to watch while making the comparisons and evaluations that I care about. Glad I found you on RU-vid and I have subscribed.

Watched it all great review/vlog. XM4s are on the way. Was that Carbonara BTW?

Nice Video!! Love your angle on the market. My wife has the QC35-IIs and they are good/great, but to me with up to 4 devices and changing I really love the convenience of my AirPods Pros switching too much to go back to a manual BT-switching life... If I‘m finally in the market for over-ears, it might be the Max for me

this is the kind of review we want if we cant have the actual headphones to test. awesome

Sir. The puppies. Incredible. Oh and nice review. Ha!

This is how headphone reviews should be. Love them ❤️🙌

I upgraded to the APM from Bose QC35’s and after a few days, I honestly couldn’t go back. The APM is like having a car with power door locks and the Bose is like going from that back to a car with manual locks. Everything is a bit better with the APM, more refined...but what really gets me is just the feeling of them. Once you get used to the aluminum and steel, it’s really hard to put on plastic headphones again. At first I was concerned the APM was going to be a little too heavy, but after about 10 mins I forget they’re even there. The Bose just feel cheap and flimsy to me now.

Dope video

That carbonara looked amazing! Great vid! Also, to answer the question, no I would not pay $550 for headphones. I like that you aren’t biased to Apple products as well, other companies have great technologies that work with all kinds of brands and pretty much have the same features within Apple ecosystem. Thanks for mentioning that! My Jabra’s Elite 75t can switch between my iPad, iPhone and PC in the middle of songs and conference calls no problem. I love them.

13:46 The way the song goes "I'll give you everything", right after Siri has responded to and completed a task in the midst of challenging conditions (music and ambient sound) is Siri voicing her commitment. :D

Always solid my friend.

Great vid! Liked the perspectives from your friends. Also Apple’s Transparency mode is a notch above the comp imo.

More headphones review from you! 😄 Maybe it's time for you to upgrade using a binaural headset for us to listen more closer than the headphones sound like. As always, love the real-world test.

How do you think the experience would be using these with non-iphones?

i always a fan of your reviews. You think it’s practical or worth buying this AirPods Max after nearly 2 years since they launched it? Or wait for December for rumored AirPods Max 2? Enlighten me please and why?

Great content!! I’ll go wit the AirPods max just cause I’m in the apple eco system but if I had a android then def the Sony’s

To be honest yeah! I would actually go ahead and pull the trigger, but I'm still thinking about which one to get, the Sony XM4 or the Airpods max.

Great video.. I'm checking out your older stuff.. good name to . I'm another David to.. keep up the great work..

Man, I'm using a pair of 2 years old headphones of about $35 but just got the Huawei Free Buds 3 which are twice of the price, but I feel like even in that I can't see the real difference, so if I go higher than that, I won feel it at all, most people won't for sure, so I think those who buy it will be more fans than audiophiles. Great video, was that Carbonara? I love that btw

Can you please test them with the B&O H95 please? Im purchasing them both and need to know which of these two boutique products are best for me.. And yes I would spend that much for them because of there quality, it’s great, the materials are also great and I really like a product that has longevity.

Which one you’d say are better these ones or the mont Blancs ?

Which one is better..soundcore Q35 or apple airpods max

Would you prefer the montblanc or the AirPod max ?

Funny, the Montblanc"s were also my choice for new headphones, before the Max was released, but there were very few reviews for the Blanc, and I was just waiting to make a choice, luckily the Max was released :)

nice video , i have my naibors they make lot of noise … i hope airpods will help me to cancel the noise .ty

nice video!

Already bought the white ones! Hope they don’t get dirty in one day 🤞🏻
