Ok so for those asking: These or the Sony XM4? I’ve personally ordered a black pair of these for myself. I think I’ll be using them for most everyday listening. But for my flights and travel I have a feeling I’m gonna hate the limited Android multi device support and get annoyed and switch back to the Sonys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Heyy, first reply? :D Well, this a first for me, but just wanted to say that's an amazing intro, Marques. This is some commercial level stuff I can only wish to get into one day.👍
This headphones are so good. I went wearing them to college. The noise cancellation is so good that I didn't hear a bus coming straight at me. Now I am enjoying the hospital food
Stop making fun of apple Because they has the best technology thats why it cost more compare to competitor. Like iphone 12 even though they say it is expensive. It has the world fastest processor and highest quality video in any smartphone which people didnt realize about that.
Here’s my humble opinion about them. I’m currently an Airpods Max owner who previously owned Sony xm4 and Bose NC 700 for a couple of days. If you want to use headphones just at home and to be free from any annoying noises, and you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, and you like to watch Dolby Atmos movies often, you won’t regret buying Airpods Max. Their ANC performance is marginally better than that of any of Sony and Bose headphones according to a measurement performed by a Korean TH-camr called “0DiBi”. Also, another great thing about Airpods Max is their white noise level in background with no music playing is way lower than Sony’s and Bose’s. That said, if you want some headphones you like to use mostly when travelling, go get some lighter, cheaper ones like just normal Airpods or cans from Sony or Bose or whatever. Personally I couldn’t keep wearing either Sony xm4 or Bose NC 700 more than an hour due to discomfort issues with both of them, whereas I find wearing Airpods Max for several hours very comfortable despite their relatively heavyweight. Their innovative canopy headband and mesh cushions really work for me.
My guy, thanks for this. I struggle finding someone else who compares decent brands with Apple. I’m looking to replace my very faithful and now old Bose QCs and am thinking of these because as you’ve said I’m very deep in the Apple ecosystem at home.
What if want to use them mainly with iPhone and iPad, but occasionally with a windows computer for zoom or classroom videos. Would the AirPods work well ?
Thank you for the review. I was contemplating if i picked the right headphones or not. I decided to based on the apple ecosystem. They work so good for this. Except I’ve been having some issues when listening through my MacAir. I used to have the Bose NC700 and Max’s are def more comfortable.
I appreciate that this seemed pretty unbiased. Earlier today I read a love letter from someone at Esquire that made these things sound like the best headphones ever made.
So two years after this video was posted, you can see in a lot of videos on The Studio channel that these are not only used daily by Marques, even for editing, but also by a LOT of employees in the studio. I think this really speaks to how good these headphones are. It's crazy that a couple years later, these are still apparently the best wireless headphones, at least for Apple users. The people who work in the studio, especially Marques, could use ANY pair of headphones they want, and yet they choose the Airpods Max over all the other available headphones. The mix of convenience and sound quality seems like it's unrivaled, although I wish they did fix that case issue.
@@ethanwasme4307 To be fair, he uses both and admits himself that he uses iPhone because the people in his life too. Not sure if you're from the US, but it can be legitimately difficult to use an Android phone here depending on what industry or social circle you're in.

@@danb215 If you have an apple device to update the firmware, possibly. You might be happier selling them sealed and buying some sony headphones, though. Any settings changes or updates must be done connected to an apple device, unfortunately.

@@thedisnerd4296 yeah but thats no problem, you put them in the case to keep them safe too, and also you could put them in your pocket, I would love to see you put the headphones in your pocket lol
To be fair driving a beater 92 Ford Taurus felt a lot more like a boat and had a lot worse handling than a Tesla. A Model 3 doesn't feel heavy to turn with, maybe an X does?
I own a pair of AirPods maxes. The audio is incredible, the different modes like noise cancelation are incomparable to other devices, and it looks super sleek. So far the only issues are this. The first is the weight. They are heavy, which makes them a bit more annoying than other headphones, but I find them easier to wear long-term over AirPods which bothers my ears after a while. The other thing is how tight the clamp is. This was a problem, but I stretched them out a few times, and that issue went away quickly. So yeah if you have the money they are worth it.
I jus got them for a birthday gift. They are amazing. The best I’ve ever used. They can use some improving. Like the lightning port. Like the weight. But these are easily the best I’ve ever used.
@@Tom_Stevens617 I mean Apple gets more exposure by sending a different color for review. They will get two colors in front of the audience when (if?) Marques gets the black pair 😉
10:39 I love the rapid fire hate fest on that case, and it’s well deserved. I also love that he’s just laying in it out there without being sensational when talking about the flaws. The Not Turning Off thing would keep me from buying these, if money were no object.
The case is the only one at this price or higher that lets you maintain your size settings. You don't have to resize them every time you pull them out which is dope.
I bought mine yesterday April 1 and I was in San Francisco and flying back home to Baltimore and LET ME TELL YOU VERY VERY EXCELLENT IN CANCELLING THE LOUD ENGINE AND VERY LOUD HUMMING.
My AirPods Max have been my top buy of the last 3 years. I use them at least 6-8 hours a day, often sleeping with them on. They are SUPER durable. SUPER comfortable. SUPER convenient. Battery life is ridiculous, and I’ve been less than careful with them. I’ve left them out in -40 Celsius canadian weather, and in the rain and they still work. I can’t reccomend them enough, and I never thought I’d say that about a 700$ pair of luxury apple headphones
@@explicit575 not the op but I switch between wearing glasses and contacts and I honestly can’t feel any difference when I’m wearing these headphones.

Good job!!! This video clarified most of my questions about the AirPod Max except for the other cheaper Airpods, which look more comfortable to those who want movies for hours.
I wouldn't have a problem paying £550, but they're so impractical! I couldn't live with that case and no 'off' button and they look far too heavy. I'd also cry the first time I scratched the metal, or damaged the fragile mesh headband. Awful design.

Dude, i just used my brothers and it was unreal. I know I’m a newbie in the “Luxury listening” world but these things are dope. I do want to look at other high end brands to test out but the snap on and off of the cups, the smoothness of the metal, and the sound quality in transparency mode is orgasmic. But that’s just me. Lol.
@@tarno89 ofc it adds to the price, high quality metal is pricier than plastic, although we all know they could have gone 50-100$ lower without a doubt
@@raresradoi39 I'm not saying is not justified. It definitely is!! But that's just Apple being Apple: make something bad look good and get money from it ...
@@tarno89 agreed, the case is not only stupid, but a freaking laughable joke, other than that, for ppl with deep pockets, I'm sure there are worth it all the way
@@raresradoi39 another example, full metal build is not justified for headphones as it is indeed for a smartphone (since durability is an important factor for smartphones). Combining plastic and metal in a way that matters is much more practical (as many did). Now, I really hope the rest won't start this metal trend...

Recently bought these and can confirm the battery issues have been pretty much solved and u don’t need the case all the time, and besides them not folding down I have no complaints so far! Really enjoying them
It reminded me of Meg Ryan's famous speech from When Harry Met Sally. I was expecting Marquess to start making out with the headphones once he'd finished.
I like that Marques is being so real in this one. You can hear he is getting a bit sick of Apple being well "Apple". If you know what I mean. And that's good. We all miss the good old actually innovative Apple.
apple is insane!!! they are so over priced with garbage tech and asthedics as always . and i can see them right now just laughing in everyones face because of how underpaid there technitions are and product quality illusion
I’ve had Sony MDR7605, Bose QC35’s, and AirPods Pro’s over the years. When my Bose stopped working, I wanted an over-the-ear headphone, and have had my AirPod Max’s for the past 3 years. They work great for me. I just wish the batteries lasted longer, but other than that I barely have complaints. Some pairing issues from time to time, but those can be troubleshooted.
I’ve used them. For Bluetooth out the box headphones, amazing. Every other pair of headphones I try like the Sonys I instantly am like yeah that’s Bluetooth (compression). But these at least with an iPhone I was surprised on what I was getting out of Bluetooth. I wouldn’t ever wear such headphones out and about as they’re quite heavy. But at home use or sitting down working on something on the go, definite buy if you’re an apple user.
I was so skeptical, but the max are the best bluetooth headphones I've ever had (and I have had quite a few over the years). XM4's were dull and lifeless and became defective after about year with latency issues.(good noise cancellation though). Microsoft surface had great controls and decent sound quality but again defective and one ear cup stopped working after some time. The max have great build quality and and the materials used justify the higher price.
@@hassankhan2 yeah I get it. But I’d say for $550 I expect angels singing not God whispering. For that, I’d expect it to be higher priced. That’s how I meant it. But it’s cool.
Apple Airpods Max User: Friends evaporated, let me appreciate the case while listening to some tunes Reality: Friends staring at you touching a bra in the middle of the cafeteria. After which, they are literally gone from your side...XD
Thank you for this review! You explained it perfectly. As a music producer I understood perfectly when you said they are more on the consumption side than production side. I thought they were closer to the production side. Which is why I wanted to buy them. Now I know to save my money. I will settle for another pair of AirPods Pro. 5 star review.
this was the first pair of outside headphones I ever bought and don’t regret it. they look awesome and do their job, the only complaint I have is the noise bleeding they have. as someone that loves to occasionally max out my music to really feel the bass it’s like it’s as loud as something playing from my phone at 40% volume. other than that they are great
"But this case is so stupid." HILARIOUS! Excellent review, but that sneaky, devious look when you said that..... PRICELESS. AND YOU WAVED YOUR HAND AROUND IT LIKE, "HOCUS POCUS! I HATE YOU THE MOST-US!"
At $550 I still would love Apple to have an actual case, a cable, the ability to turn it on and off, and then also like the Sony MX4s, be able to tap or hold a button and hear the person talking to you while having the headphones on.
ive had the momentum m2 since 2017 and they are awesome, still going strong and i have around 20hrs of battery they are still one of the best sounding headphones on the market, probably going to have them untill the next version of the airpods max comes out

Throughout this video, the clock says 5:50,
and the price of the AirPods Max is....$550 👏👏
the clock says 5:50 at 5:50... yeah!!! and the price is $550!!!... weeeell... except if you live in Europe where you'll pay 629€ that translates into $766... :(
Lmao didnt even notice the clock

Sometimes I think Apple employs people suffering from Bi-polar 😂
@Dan Yet they have the same shape so that you just need a single cable just for everything, unlike lightning port
Yeah. Even though Apple has a pie in USB-C they are not switching it. They are so stupid rn.
They make more money from the lightening licensing system. Nuff said.

I can hear Marques' internal crying when talking talking about the case.
Funny part is when he says it looks like a mini purse 😂😂

I wouldn't have a problem paying £550, but they're so impractical! I couldn't live with that case and no 'off' button and they look far too heavy. I'd also cry the first time I scratched the metal, or damaged the fragile mesh headband. Awful design.

I just bought the Airpod Max and .... oh my god... I did not know what I was missing. I've never heard music this good. This is completely insane.
Same here !
I know right !? And the noise cancellation is so fucking good.
Dude, i just used my brothers and it was unreal. I know I’m a newbie in the “Luxury listening” world but these things are dope. I do want to look at other high end brands to test out but the snap on and off of the cups, the smoothness of the metal, and the sound quality in transparency mode is orgasmic. But that’s just me. Lol.
@@reyesoperator they’re really good quality
Are they really that good? I have the studio beats but I’m always looking for a better sound…
Everyone: Metal is too heavy for headphones
Apple: It's pretty
And they call it a "feature" , which adds up to the price of course...
@@tarno89 ofc it adds to the price, high quality metal is pricier than plastic, although we all know they could have gone 50-100$ lower without a doubt
@@raresradoi39 I'm not saying is not justified. It definitely is!! But that's just Apple being Apple: make something bad look good and get money from it ...
@@tarno89 agreed, the case is not only stupid, but a freaking laughable joke, other than that, for ppl with deep pockets, I'm sure there are worth it all the way
@@raresradoi39 another example, full metal build is not justified for headphones as it is indeed for a smartphone (since durability is an important factor for smartphones). Combining plastic and metal in a way that matters is much more practical (as many did). Now, I really hope the rest won't start this metal trend...

Recently bought these and can confirm the battery issues have been pretty much solved and u don’t need the case all the time, and besides them not folding down I have no complaints so far! Really enjoying them
That’s the most amount of “I hate” I’ve ever heard Marques said😂

It reminded me of Meg Ryan's famous speech from When Harry Met Sally. I was expecting Marquess to start making out with the headphones once he'd finished.
@@BennettIsAmazing 😂😂for real

This is the funniest twist I've had from him 😂
Lmaoooo I definitely LOL on that!!
I’ve had Sony MDR7605, Bose QC35’s, and AirPods Pro’s over the years. When my Bose stopped working, I wanted an over-the-ear headphone, and have had my AirPod Max’s for the past 3 years. They work great for me. I just wish the batteries lasted longer, but other than that I barely have complaints. Some pairing issues from time to time, but those can be troubleshooted.
Apple: "I am going to create a case that is so stupid.."
Apple: A case so stupid (dramatic pause) it yells luxury.
Apple better sell a better case for them.

@@arifkazuki boob underware
I’ve used them. For Bluetooth out the box headphones, amazing. Every other pair of headphones I try like the Sonys I instantly am like yeah that’s Bluetooth (compression). But these at least with an iPhone I was surprised on what I was getting out of Bluetooth. I wouldn’t ever wear such headphones out and about as they’re quite heavy. But at home use or sitting down working on something on the go, definite buy if you’re an apple user.
I was so skeptical, but the max are the best bluetooth headphones I've ever had (and I have had quite a few over the years). XM4's were dull and lifeless and became defective after about year with latency issues.(good noise cancellation though). Microsoft surface had great controls and decent sound quality but again defective and one ear cup stopped working after some time. The max have great build quality and and the materials used justify the higher price.

Thank you for this review! You explained it perfectly. As a music producer I understood perfectly when you said they are more on the consumption side than production side. I thought they were closer to the production side. Which is why I wanted to buy them. Now I know to save my money. I will settle for another pair of AirPods Pro. 5 star review.
"They better sound like god himself whispering in my ear for that much money"😂😂😂
musically they sound horrible.
@@immortalsatyr did you test it out??
this was the first pair of outside headphones I ever bought and don’t regret it. they look awesome and do their job, the only complaint I have is the noise bleeding they have. as someone that loves to occasionally max out my music to really feel the bass it’s like it’s as loud as something playing from my phone at 40% volume. other than that they are great
do they go very loud?
"But this case is so stupid." HILARIOUS! Excellent review, but that sneaky, devious look when you said that..... PRICELESS. AND YOU WAVED YOUR HAND AROUND IT LIKE, "HOCUS POCUS! I HATE YOU THE MOST-US!"
That made me laugh so hard :D "But this case is soo stupid" :D
At $550 I still would love Apple to have an actual case, a cable, the ability to turn it on and off, and then also like the Sony MX4s, be able to tap or hold a button and hear the person talking to you while having the headphones on.
They charge us Canadians $780 CAD ($630 US) for these, and with sales tax where I live you can make that suddenly $897 Cad / $725 US..
Yes you can tap the button and have it disable noise cancellation, tried these out at a Best Buy and it has that feature
Even just the Sony Wf-1000xm3 buds are better than these, had mine for almost a year and a half and I’m not going back to apple 😅
You can’t turn them off😳🤔
@@guzo116 I can guarantee you the xm3 buds are not better
ive had the momentum m2 since 2017 and they are awesome, still going strong and i have around 20hrs of battery they are still one of the best sounding headphones on the market, probably going to have them untill the next version of the airpods max comes out
$550 “God himself whispering in my ears” 😂 😂 😂 😂
