Why AirPods Max Are Worth It 

Your summary fully describes why Apple is so successful. 1) It costs what? 2) OK. I'll pay that THIS TIME 3) Wait, this product is amazing 4) I cannot imagine not having had this before 5) Oh look. There's a newer version! 6) It costs what?

I wear a Cochlear Implant and a Hearing Aid in both ears, and every other headphones and earbuds, I’ve always had to adjust my hearing devices or the physical earbuds to work with me. But I tried these on at the Apple store and I was shocked and ecstatic to know they worked perfectly with my CI and hearing aids!

I e probably watched 20 different reviews of the AirPods Max. This one was easily the most useful because the review focused more on how I use the headphones - background music while working, using it for Zoom calls, maybe a little TV.

Hands down one of the best videos I have seen about these headphones. Two thumbs up.

Finally, a person who actually understands and appreciates the way AirPods Max are intended to be used!

What really surprises me, is the fact that I can wear these for 10 hours, nearly non stop, and not even notice them. So I can confirm hat the AirPods Max are perfect for full day working

I love how you gently, yet firmly took down the naysayers. Very professional brother! I love you channel.

Yes, I agree with you, this product is an all-around entertainment Ecosystem product (not just for playing music) unfortunately most reviewers have missed the whole ecosystem functionality!

Great review. Thank you for expanding this review to more than just music, and talking about the case (which I think is more of a cover) and how much they cost.

You nailed it. This got me convinced. Thanks.

Good on ya mate, love your practical attitude and assessment!

Great video. Think I’m picking these up in Space Grey!

Thanks a lot Chris. I was going back and forth between the max and the MX5 and when you mentioned the lightening to jack cable, that helped me to seal the deal. I wished I watched your video a week ago!

I always like your relaxed and very clear presentation. Your review of the AirPod Max based on your personal use over the past few weeks was very interesting and informative. I currently love my AirPod Pros but I’m going to grab the Max now. 👍

You nailed it. I've been saying the same thing since they came out.

Thanks for the review 👍🏽

Great, well rounded review. I watched this using my Apple AirPods Max! 😁

I can SSOOOOOOO relate to your spatial audio comment. I have to start to take them off to make sure the audio isn’t playing through the device’s speaker and blasting around the room. It sounds so good!

One of the best reviews I’ve seen thus far. Overall use/benefits go way beyond just playing music as demonstrated in your video and much admired work station🤠Obviously a real pro.....at work. Just subscribed to your channel 👍

Great job! Thank you.

Great video Chris!!! I just loved it! Props!

Fantastic review! Thank you. You use them exactly the way I intend to use mine (mostly office phone calls and background music) when they arrive, so this was EXTRA helpful. Cheers.

Nice video. Great capturing of the really good features this product provides.

Chris you are so right on target! Thanks for your review! The overall user experience, Apple functionality and amazing sound quality easily makes these one of the best Apple products I have ever bought. This evening I took a long walk with my AirPods Max and it was quite cold and with the Digital Crown and ANC control button and "Hey Siri" integration I was able to easily operate my headphones with heavy gloves on with an ease that would have never been possible with my Bose NC 700 or Sony XM4s with swipe controls. Those other headphones are excellent but the "ease of use" within the Apple ecosystem will have e reaching for my AirPods Max most of the time moving forward.

What a great review!!! You are awesome!!!

Love this review 👏🏾

Brilliant and honest review thanks very much 🇸🇪❤️

This review is spot on! I love it. I watched it when it first came out but then decided to watch it again and still couldn't agree more with you lol

Great review

Great video. Ordered mine but they don't arrive until feb 21. But my idea of use case was what exactly as you illustrate.

Another amazing review @Dailytekk. After your review I decided to purchase these. Thanks for giving your time and insights as always.

been waiting for this vid

Lol great video! Actually im in a veeery similar work/use situation as you, and i know i will love them if i get them! BUUUUT im worried about the whole water/moisture gathering in ear cups thing! Has that happened for you? What do you think about that issue?

Great perspective, I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago they arrive next week so there seems to be a strong demand for them.

This is the first video about AirPods Max, that I have seen, that brings the right point about the headphones!!! It was refreshing! Thank you!!!!

I have watch so many airpod max videos because I’m looking to get me a pair off theses this has to be the best airpod max review I have watch on RU-vid most RU-vidr are saying the same thing talking about the sound only but I wanted to know how they work with everything music,videos,movies and u have answer that thanks I’m looking to get theses for my ipad max and for my gaming pc great review my friend.

I work out with mine. They are excellent at blocking out gym noise. Love them

So looking forward to my new pair of AirPod Max for Christmas this year.

Great video. Loving my AP Max

Great review as always Chris! Curious to know the audio quality in terms of music compare to your AIAIAI headphones?

I dig your videos and your take on these headphones. SO MUCH BITCHING about them out there and I dig that you can describe things and share you opinion without attacking. Great video!

Ayye you jam Andy Mineo. You just became much cooler in my book. Thanks for the review, I’m one step closer to getting some for myself because of how well you’ve ‘sold’ them.

Well balanced, real life review. I like that, wel done. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 If you want you’ll always find edge cases. Though it is okay to acknowledge edge cases, it is silly to treat them like main stream issues.

Some great insights here.

My best purchase this year. I got it in Space gray!

Thanks, brilliant video. The best honest and down to earth review I’ve seen from the perspective of an everyday user. You’re right, it’s not all about the music!

Been using my pair since the new year when I got them, and I love them so much. I was really disappointed with the Pros after all the issues I had, and now I use the Max’s for at home listening and the normal Airpods for work and exercise. Perfect setup for me👌

Great comments -very helpful.

Nice review, Chris. I bought them last week. With the latest update, no problems at all. No weigth issues and a perfect sound.

Chris just goes BANG on the AirPods max! Great video Chris. Loved the info about the software features on these bad boys.

Great video - like the alternative use case review, as I think many basic consumers, myself included, have to figure in using any headphones for more than just music. I spend far more time with my AirPod Pro’s for non-music use, so the AirPod Max would be the same. The one thing I would like to know about the Max’s, is how much heat builds up when wearing them for hours at a time? My biggest complaint with my Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2’s are that my ears start cooking, especially when using them on continental and intercontinental flights. Hasn’t been an issue this year, but I’m assuming that will change again in 2021.

Thank you for providing a broader picture.

This review so fits my usage of headphones. Makes sense. It’s okay that they don’t work for everyone. There are many great options. For me, I am looking forward to these arriving soon.

Mine arrived today. I was impressed.

Do you also get some pressure while wearing them? (Probably due to the noise cancellation) If so does it go away?

I'm considering getting these for daily use. Since it is an apple product there are a lot of 3rd party cases and silicon covers than exist for the airpods max which I would buy to protect such an expensive device.

Spot on ✌🏻

I love me some Andy Mineo and always chuckle when you mention his music. But i was wondering if your guys are friends or does he follow any of your social media accounts / know about your mentions? I Really enjoy your videos!

Great job! Awesome 👏🏽

Best review yet.

Very good review. I appreciate your pitch for the unheralded features of the airpod max. I have now seen over 30 RU-vid reviews of the airpod max and very unfortunately, not a single reviewer has even mentioned what would be the most important feature of the airpod max for me. I am a Professor and CoVID-19 has forced me and all my colleagues to teach many hours a day through Skype, Zoom, Webex, Go-to-Meeting, etc. One of my most difficult problem is to find a quiet environment where nobody can make any noise around me when I am teaching or making a comference call. You and others who make RU-vid video know how critical and difficult it is to create a quiet environment for yourself and how intrusive it is to force everybody around you to be quiet. If you are a parent with children, you know what it is like to have to shush your children. In theory, the Airpod Max should be able to cancel noise from your microphone in your earcups. If the Airpod Max can subtract ambient noise from my voice in the earcups and can send my voice to my audience without background or incoming sounds, that would be worth $1000 for me. I ordered the Max but it will not arrive until March, so I cannot try it for myself. I wish people will stop saying over and over again how much they hate the earphone covers. Enough already. For $12-20, you can buy from Amazon more than a dozen hard case that would allow you to protect the airpod max from scratches and dirt. I wish people will stop complaining about the lack of an on-off switch. The earphones go to sleep after a few minutes and 12 hours of sleep use less than 5% of the battery power. I wish reviewer would spend my time with greater care and respect (yes, we consumers are spending our precious time to listen to opinions and they should not be inane). I would like to hear analyses of the sound stage, the directionality of the sound, ability to change the frequency profile, the presence of distortion, and the presence of delays between the timing of mouth movements and voice. Also, for people with hearing loss, the transparency mode with frequency adjustments have the potential to be an intelligent hearing aid. I wish that that they could have a voice output jack so that we know what is being sent out to the audience.

It’s funny, I agree with everything you said here and like you have gotten a lot of flack. It was tough for a minute to drop the cash to get these, but I couldn’t be happier with my work/personal flow using these. Like you said, outstanding sound, ANC, comfort, quality, and the seamless switching really sets them apart for my use case. After having them for a bit, I couldn’t be happier. Putting them on at home when I need to knock something out without distractions is a sweet experience, and the hear-through is on another level!

Hi Chris! I agree, they’re great headphones. I still don’t understand why so many are up in arms about them. I’m glad you brought up the headband getting dirty dilemma others have bemoaned about. I, like you, have had no trouble with my white band getting ditty despite wearing products in my hair. Great review! Keep them coming.

Amazing video!

Keep up the good work I love it

Great review. Been wondering about how to buy them or not. Im going to spend the money, even if its 750 dollars in Norway.

What monitor are you using here Chris?

Your video is coming in super clear and wonderful through my set of AirPod Max headphones. 👍 p.s. the weight of the headphones doesn’t bother me at all. Don’t even notice.

This channels quality is that of a channel with millions of subscribers, keep up the great work!!

My pair literally just came I love them so much

I got them and wow they sound sooo clear

It takes you wearing one and listening to anything sound with the Airpod Max to understand this good review fully. I got the Sony XM4. I couldn't survive the headache and discomfort. Switched to Airpod Max and my life has been beautiful with sound. It's expensive but worth it. Thanks for the review bro.

Man...I give you a lot of credit. Writing is something I need 100% focus on so I always turn off any background distractions and let the headphone's excellent ANC do it's thing. That said...you are right on about the spatial audio and movies! I just installed the tvOS 15 Beta on my AppleTV 4K (official release this fall is going to include support for spatial audio which wasn't announced when you posted this review) and watched the trailer for the latest Fast and Furious movie and I was like..."What the hell...this sounds like it's playing over my home theater speakers!". I had to take my headphones off to make sure it wasn't blasting through my home theater system and my neighbors would be knocking on my door any second! Simply amazing! And for me...this alone makes the price tag 100% worth it! If you live in an apartment complex like I do...then this is a great alternative to watching movies with spatial audio "surround sound" and not upsetting the neighbors below and beside you! Another amazing feature Apple recently released before this review is Dolby Atmos for music FREE on Apple Music! Again...this feature alone is worth the price of admission! I listened to an old classic I grew up with by Queen titled Another One Bites The Dust and good lord...the Dolby Atmos remastered version blew me away! So, I am totally satisfied with these headphones for use at home, the plane, office, etc. Of course these are NOT meant for the gym for several reasons so I use my excellent in-ear headphones for that.

This was a great video can we have a updated desk setup? Also when will apple hype and the podcast coming back as these made my day a lot better

I love my AirPods Max. Definitely one of my best purchases! Also, love the vid!😄

You nailed this review. I use the Max, Bang and Olufsen HX and the Bose Q35 Ii and 700 virtually every day. And, when the weather is iffy I use the Bose earbuds. That’s a lot of headphones and a lot of money; however, no one yet makes the perfect headphones. I also do not wear the same shirt and pants every day. All that said, the Max does do more things better than any similar product.

Would love to hear an updated review on these headphones, Chris! Thanks for your detailed reviews and commentary. PS I’m an Andy Mineo fan too! What’s your favourite album from him?

I just ordered some silver AirPods max on Ebay at a good price... Can’t wait to try them out!

you talk about editing with it but what about latency? is the audio really precise to whats happening on the timeline? Especially when doing something like cutting to the beat?

So 4 months later, are you still good with these? What about spatial audio support on the Apple TV 4K? I sometimes put on my Bose Q35 to watch entertainment without disturbing the house and would love to have the Spatial audio support now with these.

Just got mine, I’ve also taken them off assuming I had the programme playing of my iPad. Spacial audio on these things are crazy! I like the hinges on the joints to helps the longer lasting more comfortable fit

Does your airpods max build up condensation after extended use time? Mine has condensation build up after only 1 hour of usage in my room at my desk.

can we use it while it's charging with the cable?

You describe my use of these AirPod Max at work, perfectly. My coworkers are jealous 😂 I keep them on my head most of the day and can get away with listening to audiobooks, hearing my messages and taking calls while not interrupting my work. They are perfect for the office. They keep people from talking to me while I listen to conversations around me… a real bonus.

I like this only non Biased reviews on this

great video Chris

Did you successfully use them to monitor your audio for the podcast? I am trying to use them to monitor for a podcast as well, but I can't get it to work. Its as if the bluetooth connects and cancels out the fact that I have the headphones plugged in with the lighting to 3.5. Any suggestions to make it work?

Good stuff, Chris. Keep speaking that truth, brother.

👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 The Very Best Explanation Of Why, Who And Wow👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Chris, thank you for your insightful uploads. Have you had any condensation issues as some people have recently reported? And what about major issues with the digital crown?

What phone case are you using in this video

Great video. I can’t wait until I get mine. They are scheduled to be delivered Jan 6. I am a person who is deep in the apple ecosystem and I know I going to love them too and for people like me. The price isn’t really a issue either. I do have a problem with the case too. The first third party case I’ve seen is by Waterfiled and I’m sure other companies will soon follow. Therefore I don’t see even the case being an issue in the future. I watch a video from audio engineers who work for Abyss and they brought up a really interesting point and that was the ability for these headphones to be upgraded by software/apps in the future and I believe that will really set them apart.

Love em Now i feel it

Great video i love my max 👍

I have the white ones. Clean! just put on silicon covers around the grey headphone and covers

The experience of the airpods max, call quality and sync is really awesome on the airpods max, transparency mode, switching to apple devices, boise cancelling and sound... It just does everything well, I actually find it more comfortable than the Sonys to be honest because it stays cool and the large cups dont press on the ears. Spatial audio is amazing also.

Hey, fantastic video! Do you know whether spatial audio works when connecting an ipad or iphone to a tv via htmi? And also how long does it take to fully charge? Cheers!

Which monitor are you using in your setup? That thing is massive!

Thank you Chris. This is exactly the review I have been looking for. Based on this I will end up buying them. I use my airpods pro for everything other than just listening to music. Call quality is more important. I have "audiophile headphones" however I need my dac/amp to use them which is fine when I am stuck at my desk and/or on the lounge. However, for everything else the airpods max will be my new go toos.

Listening to this video trough my blue AirPods Max.
