- These are still the best noise cancelling headphones that Apple has ever made but where do they stand in 2024 along other competitors?

i cant belive that you only have 470 followers
*Literally 25 seconds in and already thumbs up due to the 80's feel intro....Awesome job!*
Thanks!!
Feels like watching a multi million sub channel! Keep up the great work
This is so detailed and well done! I can't believe you just started this channel, it feels much more professional
Thank you Patentmic, glad you like it!
Great reviwe and great work with the video production quality
I'm impressed with how thorough and detailed your review is.
Thank you!
Call it 🍎 magic or just placebo, but i DO think theres a difference between the standard 256 bitrate you get on spotify or YT and what you get on Apple Music even if the BT codec is limited to 256. It's just not the same. The only reason i keep paying for Apple Music is bc i can notice the difference. Everybody says its indiscernable on BT, but trust me you can hear it.
I agree, there is definitely a difference even on Bluetooth and mostly because the albums on Apple Music are "mastered for iTunes", they've been doing this for many years but also probably because downsampling from a lossless file to Bluetooth 250kbps is a more bit-perfect stream rather than having an mp3 file at the source like Spotify has. My main point in the video was that Bluetooth over Apple devices sounds worse than on those like Android phones with LDAC etc. but yes if I had to choose a streaming service for iOS I'd choose something like Apple, Qobuz or Tidal instead of Spotify. Thanks for watching!
There is something, I’ve moved from Spotify
Great video. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber.
just subscribed. your cinematography is better than mine, cant believe you only have 61 subs.
Wow, first review that I liked
Glad you liked it!
I bought them few days ago and in my opinion, they are really great. I had a constant noise on my Sony XM4 and they were not that comfortable for me, so I sent them back. I dont regret the buy and roundabout Im really happy with my AirPods Max. Thank you for your recommendations and your video. Keep up! Greetings from Austria
Hey man.
I wanted to buy the AirPods Max’s for a long time now I’ve watched a lot of videos to get more informations.
Out of all the videos I saw your one was the best. (Even better than some channels with over 40.000 subs)
Keep it up dude the video was fucking great.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video man, you got it down to a science. Keep it up
Thanks!
I need to find a review like this (long term, 4+ years) for the b&w px7 s2
Great video, you should have way more subscribers as the quality and information you provide is excellent.
Which affordable Hi res Bluetooth over ear headphones would you recommend which is also good for phone calls? Thank you
Thanks for the comment! I would look at brands like Sony or Bose, they're more affordable than Apple and have pretty decent quality. Sonos are releasing their first headphones on June 5th, so that might be something to look at too, although not sure how affordable those are :)
Hey bro, can u make a video talking about your hi-fi headphone set up. I have a vinyl collection and just use speakers, but want to get a better listening experience with them.
That's a good shout. I can plan doing something like that in the near future for sure. Thanks for the comment!
"Still good." Compared to what? What is your reference?
bluds underrated
I am waiting for the Airpods Max 2nd Generation... USB-C alone is enough of a reason for me to wait but since by the time the next generation is released it'll be 4+ years likely since the 1st generation launched I am sure the difference between the two headphones will be worth the wait :D
First leaks pointing towards 2024 and no other upgrades bar USB-C. If thats the case I think Gen1 will be a very good deal to still breaht some life into your old lightning cables that otherwise would go into the bin.
@@tRIXelele I can’t imagine them not doing some audio improvements and also adding the adaptive transparency mode and conversation detection
They also said AirPods Pro 2 and Vision Pro could do lossless audio because of a special chip so they should add that to the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen and the next generation of iPhone too
I can't wait for the 2nd gen tbh, I'll be definitely reviewing them as soon as they come out! Hopefully we see something coming out this year. I'm hoping they will add the wifi streaming feature on those like they did on AirPods Pro+Vision Pro, they surely can do that for Mac and iPhones too but we all know how Apple uses their marketing tactics haha.
@@AndiPirlogea Yeah, I imagine it’ll be a Pro Phone feature, I really hope it comes to both the iPhone and the 2nd Gen AirPods Max headphones :)
bro u lit
thanks!
Excellent video. Would you suggest any eq settings for AirPods Max to further brighten the sound?
Thank you! I’d suggest to actually lower the treble on your eq at around 15kHz. These headphones are already pretty bright as standard.
Thanks a lot Andi! I love your introduction in the video and the music is also fantastic. Are you planning a comparison video against other headphones?Thanks 😊 🙏🏼
Cheers, glad to hear that! I haven't planned a comparison yet, will probably wait for the new AirPods Max to come out and review those, or maybe compare them with these. At the moment I got some upcoming smartphone reviews videos to be released soon! :)
Excellent. Thanks again and looking forward to your upcoming videos!😊👍
It's been documented that while not technically lossless bc of the extra conversion, theyre good up to 24/48, just not quite there. Which is why they do sound noticeably better wired, but apple cant advertise lossless compatibility due to the technicality.
Wired apparently they're receiving information below 1411kbps, the bit depth and sample rates don't really matter that much if the bitrate is below lossless as you still lose information. Obviously this is probably very minimal over cable and not much is lost there but for audiophiles this triggers the OCD for sure :D (id did for me sometimes lol)
Can you make a video about the Sennheiser Momentum 4?
Will keep that in mind for future reviews for sure, great headphones tho!
Why are the metal arms more loose on the new models than before. I bought mine brand new a few days ago and the arms aren’t stiff at all they’re actually quite loose and I’ve tried to exchange them actually I’ve exchanged them like 5 times and the result is the same every time! So Apple is making them looser than before… or is it just me 🤷🏾♂️
Oh wow I never heard about that before! I guess it could be something Apple changed over years, which is strange! You made me curious to go try them again in Apple Store now lol! But yeah the ones I have a pretty strong head-band adjustment!
It sell £476 in Singapore Apple Store now! Bro, the Max battery drains by itself after 3yrs on?
Tbh it still holds pretty well! I’m not a heavy user but I usually charge them once a week. I think it still does 20h easily
Great video I actually have the Bose QC earbuds ultra as far as transparency, noise, cancellation, and music. It beats the AirPods max not only because of the EQ settings but in overall, I highly recommend them. They are small and compact.
Thank you! I've checked them out briefly but need to give them another go for sure. Bose make some amazing headphones in general but the ones I had in the past especially their new Open Ear ones didn't perform well imo
I am facing condensation issue. Will it create any problem in future?
Some people seem to have this problem but it looks like it rarely causes damage. I’ve hope yours are ok
@@AndiPirlogea have you faced condensation issue ?
Not really and never heard any of my friends having this issue either…
@@AndiPirlogea thanks
That’s odd, I can wear these for an hour and my ears are hot and the inside has sweat..
Probably you are overweight 😮 I dont have any of those issues 😎
mine quit working after 2 years. They were great otherwise.
I'm sorry to hear, I had this issue with my AirPods Pro, then I went to Apple store and they gave me a free replacement as they couldn't identify the problem, although they were our of warranty. Apple sometimes does free replacements even outside warranty if they have a common fault or suddenly stopped working. Try take them in if you have a store nearby!
these were never good, and they were sold at a discount for about 300 bucks in the meantime
if you saw some for $300 they were fake, which is probably why you thought they sounded bad. :p
@@Dreadpirateflappy no, they were on discount at certified premium partners.
Fantastic review buddy. Very detailed and helpful. Thank you And like everyone else, I share the same sentiment -- I can't believe you have so few subs, this video quality is for a much larger channel. You've got my sub and I wish you millions more
Thank you!
