Plz compare it with Kz
@@yashpatil5946 Definitely, for calls the microphone(s) on the Max are miles ahead.
I did a small experiment with some colleagues during a zoom call, turned the camera off, tried AirPods Pro and said things like “guys I’m trying to fix some audio issues here? Can you hear me?” And with the AirPods Pro they said “yeah, we hear you all good”. Tried then the Max, same thing: “ok I think I got the issue, how about now? All still good?”... their response was: “oh yes, that’s perfect. Crystal clear now”.
Volume: indeed I wish the AirPods Max could go just a tad bit louder, sometimes I don’t care as much for keeping sound clarity and just be able to blast it. However I have somehow learned to use them with noise cancellation on and at about 60% sound volume for 99% of the time, it’s a bliss, it teleports me away from the room.
Bro apple is really good with sound and microphone you can compare the AirPods pro to any other earphone and when it comes to noise cancellation it smokes it and you can try the apple HomePod with any other smart speaker including amazon studio the sound there is no chance the amazon studio is gonna win and still no one talked about wireless charging until now and the AirPods max does have some features like when you remove one of the earcups they pause if you remove them they disconnect...
i love apple
Idk I think the AirPod max did won here
I'm most surprised I haven't seen any Airpods Max cases from other manufacturers yet...
Got 550 to spend
Buy a Bose and AirPods Pro
If you are using while sitting then 550.
If commuting a lot then APP
$1 store earbuds are probably the best
@@Terminal_Apotos If you can afford them, you should buy at least $20 earbuds. $1 earbuds are really bad.
Mike I'm joking
I would never use ear buds I’m not their target demographic bc I listen to music through speakers or chilling and if I want more immersive experience through headphones I care too much about the sound quality which AirPod Pros sorely lack
I appreciate that you’re testing with various genres of music
Except that’s a loose term of “classical” as it wasn’t true classical music
700s are looking great in white. I have black Bose 700 and they are amazing. Love how comfortable they are
how long can you wear them before they start to hurt your ears? I used to have the XM3s and they would hurt my ears after 45 minutes.
@@mr_red13 I have XM4s, 700s, and Momentum 3. Bose 700 are the most comfortable, I can literally spend a whole day in them, the pressure level is just right, they are soft and your ears aren't getting hot. And ANC is the best, but the sound is probably is the flattest and the least interesting, it is pretty boring, so be careful there. The bass is almost not existent, but mids and highs are good. XM4s are not as comfortable as 700s, and the sound is the worst out of 3 tbh (it's not bad in general for most of the people, but it feels pretty cheap if you compare them head to head to others), they're very bass and vocal focussed, vocals are fine though. Good for movies and videogames. ANC is great as well. Momentum 3 is easily my choice for now, in terms of comfort they're close to Sony, but the sound... THE sound is excellent for ANC bt headphones. Momentum 3 is easily a few steps above any of these ( I haven't tried Airpods though, yet). ANC is more than enough for me but weaker than Sony's.
So if you pick headphones for ANC then you get either Sony or 700, if you're looking for comfort then take 700s, hands down, if the sound is your choice, then Sennheiser Momentum 3 will easily kick Bose and Sony asses.
@@leoenin +7 bass -4 mids +2 treble. with these settings (for rock/electronic music) my bose 700 don't look flat at all.
i’ve the same and have no complaints what so ever , love it
@@mr_red13 as a over the road driver i wear them for 11 hours a day and they are super comfortable
Bose is the king of sound
No highs, no lows, must be Bose!
The Bose 700 is actually cheaper then the Sony M4 over here in Germany, €250 vs €340 and the Max are at €600. At that price, I think the Bose 700 has the most bang for your buck!
apple target B&O Beoplay H95 consumer not Bose or Sony.
They may be better value, but they aren't best overall.
I own both the Bose NC700 and the Sony XM4. I think the Bose NC700 is far better for phone calls or video conferencing, but the Sony XM4 is far better for listening music.
@@RoderikR I couldn´t agree more with that.
@@RoderikR Thank you for that info. I bought the 700’s primarily for conference calls and was wondering how they compared to the XM4’s.
This was super helpful! I've been contemplating each of these for use with Zoom meetings for chatting with clients during work and school. You totally had me sold on the Bose 700 but the microphone quality was definitely nicer on the Airpods Max. Thanks for the review!
Also a an arctic white Bose 700 owner here! Do you find your hair goes through the band of the Airpods Max? I like that the Bose has less pressure on the ears, that's what matter to me.
Highly appreciate these long videos!! But all the hard work is worth it!👍
Great and honest review! I just watched all the reviews for this new headset. Just curious what size Apple Watch case are wearing, the 40mm or 44mm?
I really like how you put up a Table of Contents at the beginning of your reviews - even though I typically watch them all the way through anyway. About the review, I’ve had battery-related issues on my last two Bose products - it’s too bad there is no way to test for battery degradation over time, because with my Bose Soundsport Wireless headphones (or wired earbuds), it’s REALLY annoying to have them die after only an hour or so of use...
Are you seeing and scratching or damage at the contact points of the two corners of the AirPod Max ear cup with holding them with out a case (the corners seems to constantly knock together)
Nope, they are still like new. Hopefully the anodizing is strong and won't have issues..
if it does get damaged like that it would probably happen over a long time like months of use so we'll have to wait see.
Thanks man, you’re the best! This really helped me make up my mind. 2 thumbs up 😁👍👍
Thank Max for including latency test. It should be tested if YTber reviews wireless buds/headphones imo, but most YTbers ignore that.
k
@@blackpepper2610 what's that about?
@@liamsweeney4754 it's k=ok
Great way of showing the sound quality differences using different types of songs which is semi unique in a reviewer!😉🤗😇
Imagine listening Linkin Park on airpods max...........
Thanks for the review. You guys are on fire lately with all the reviews. Keep up the good work.
Good review. This confirms my order of the AirPods Max but really appreciate your insight on the Bose NC700 which is a great all around headphone with excellent sound and has amazing voice quality on phone calls.
calls some chill out ibiza lounge song ''classical'' music. this is what music has become in 2020
Waiting for this exact video! Thank you
Did you check midi audio setup and make sure it’s outputting the correct sample rate?
I was about to purchase the Bose 700 ANC headphones based on your review UNTIL you informed us that they do not support 3D sound coding like Dolby Atmos. Do you have a recommendation for a wireless AND headphone that does? I'm not an iOS user, Android/PC lifer here. THANK YOU!! (great job, by the way, I just subscribed to your channel!)
The best tech reporting team out there. Props to the work you guys continue to give us. Informative, a touch of production value and REAL/HONEST takes. Happy Hollidays
Did the Bose performed ok with the 2.5mm? I have a really low volume when I listen to music like that. (Btw I love them. The Bose 700 are amazing)
Love the fact that you explained how close to your ears the sound is from Bose and Apple. That’s something headphone reviewers should explain more. Great job there!
It just gives us a better idea of what you’re hearing.
Hey, do you know if the Apple wire will transmit sound and audio from a ps4 controller?
You guys are working hard, really big respect. 👏🏼 And thank you for the comparison it's very helpful to make a choice.
Thanks for the review. I got my airpods max 2 days ago and yes, they are pricey but unbelievable sound and quality.
So I've never been a headphones guy. But I received a Bose 700 as a part of pixel 6 preorder and I'm totally in love with the 700s. I'm still not sure if I'd pay retail to get any of these above 200€ 🎧
Hi, you tested the lossless on both. Did you get true lossless on AirPods max. Secondly, what's your opinion for Apple Lossless audio on AirPods max?
When I went to the apple store to try the Max’s on I turned on ANC and the way they tuned it made feel like it wasn’t canceling any noise but then I realized I could only hear my noises. Then I turned ANC off and the difference was just astronomical
I actually thank you for referring to the xm4's so much. Rather helpful for what I'm working on.
Bose also has an optional charging case, which is extremely nice.
Do You have a link?
Theses not much use for that tho. Unless you go on one type of trip where you exceed 20 hours without an outlet
I just got my 700's with a free case. Got a pretty sweet deal on that
@@solismax65 I'd argue it's quite useful, considering there isn't any space in the normal case to charge the headphones, and you can't charge them while in use. Being able to put the headphones away and top them up is great, so you don't get partway through your next time using them and have to put them aside for a while so they can charge.
@@00SNIVY00 idk. 20 hours is enough if your using them 3hr a day. I’m sure people have work\school so I only see them useful if you travel a lot
Which one should I take mainly for taking calls on an iPhone 12 in a business setting?
You should add a section where you compare gaming sound. How well each headphone can pinpoint enemy player location. And how in-game voice communication is with the microphones inside these headphones.
The 700’s have an equaliser in the Bose app, where you can adjust the bass. The Airpods definitely have an advantage with the dynamic EQ. Agree that if you use android or a windows pc then the Bose is better. You can connect to 2 devices simultaneously on the Bose which is very helpful when you’re not in the Apple ecosystem.
What about now, any idea if Bose updated their software compatible with Apple products (macOS, iPadOS, and iOS)?
@@ravenousj They've always been compatible with Apple. Most other headphones let you connect with 2 devices at the same time while if you're in the ecosystem, Apple passes around control to what ever device is playing with the Airpods Max. If you're out of the ecosystem, then you have to manually select the Airpods Max everytime you switch devices.
I can't find the Equalizer settings to update bass in the Bose app
The Bose app sucks
Could you please also compare Apple’s headphones to the Sennheiser Momentum 3 wireless?
Thank you. I'll stick to my $35 MPOW wireless headphones. No complaints there listen to the music you're testing with. In fact it sounds amazing.
Does AirPods Max work well with meeting Apps such as WebEx and Zoom? NC700 cannot mute the microphone from the device while working with the meeting Apps.
Thanks for this review. So helpful!
Help me pick one, please - I was recently gifted master and dynamic mw65 - the price tag is close to Airpod max. All of my electronic gadgets are apple. Now, should I return this master and dynamic mw65 and get Airpod Max? Please suggest. Thanks. Call Quality will be my priority and then songs.
Finally thanks much....was waiting for this
After iPhonedo’s AirPods Max review,I feel like every other review attempt is pointless.
Thanks for testing with rock music. So many people only do the audio tests with basic pop music that sounds like something you’d hear playing in a retail store, so boring lol. Honestly just appreciate the wide range of genres you tested
Did you try the Sony with EQ settings changed? Im Struggling justifying the price of the Airpods max. I use a PC and iPhone. So still quite confused about what to get especially because I found XM3s for 180. (I won’t be using the mic at all though, just ANC and music)
That's really precise on explaining the sound quality on the Bose 700. One notch down from full blast has a huge difference in volume and bass. I do find them a bit piercing at full volume too. The Airpods Max isn't louder than the Bose but it is sufficient enough for most people. I tend to turn up the volume by using different EQ in PC.
I am a visually impaired user so very dependent upon triggering Siri for iPhone iPad and AirPod function. With the 700s is it integrated with Siri well? I also use voice dictation a lot so I’m wondering if the 700 would work well with that or will the max be a better choice since the max is an iOS product and might possibly be better integrated with the accessibility features
Whats that with wired listening? With the Bose you listen to the cheap macbook DAC, and with the pods what exactly do you get? Does the wire send the full uncompressed bitstream over to the headphones DAC?
On the Bode they are trying to not cancel some kind of sounds that could be related to a car on the street, when you are walking.
Nice test!
What iPhone case do you have on your phone, is that a battery pack? It looks cool.
Now compare it with the B&O Beoplay H95! It's more fair comparison for the AirPods Max.
No, like mkbhd said, with whom to compare is the question
@@Abstracts3211 what
Just did the comparison by buying both....
Turns out the H95 sound stage is smaller than the Max, and whilst the low to mid bass in the H95 is a little more accented, the Max deliver an overall cleaner and better sound by having the wider sound stage.
Sadly the H95 build quality now lags Apple despite the use of aluminium in the H95 cups - simple things like the cut-outs for the various ports aren't as clean and the band is uncomfortable by comparison once you've tried the Max's 'mesh canopy' design. Even just the size of the ear cups is now diminutive and decidedly less premium in feel when put next to the larger Max. There is also more room inside the Max's ear cups than the H95s.
The noise cancellation isn't anywhere near as effective on the H95, and the controls are fiddly and difficult to use compared to the simple button and crown dial on the Max. Transparency mode is also better on the Max than the ambient mode on the H95. The H95 dial controls also offer no feedback (aside from three audio cues on the ANC dial), unlike the 'clicking' of the Max's crown.
Yes the Max's case is atrocious but possibly far more practical for weight and bulk than the H95's (very nice but oh so heavy) bulky metal case.
So after all that, will be returning the H95's and keeping the Apple cans. Who'd have thought, but the Max are the better value - by costing less and offering far more than the H95 do.
I think the B&O H9 3rd generation are a more fair comparison since they’re $500 and not $800 like the H95. I have the H9i that i got a few years ago and I love them! The treble falls apart a bit when running them with Bluetooth with songs that have bright treble but they’re great when using the 3.5 mm.
I agree
Is latency totally gone when using them wired?
While wired, they both still have to be turned on for best quality right?
yeah
You didn’t mention whether plugging in the AirPods Max to an iPad or iPhone which requires the additional adaptor because there’s no headphone jack port ... does this result in additional sound latency? You plugged it into a laptop that has a dedicated headphone port, so no adaptor (dongle) was required.
Please compare airpods max with Sennheiser momentum 3
This!
Happy to hear you like the Hi-Res music. :) Thank YOU for the channel link! 🙏🏻
Noob question - isnt it pointless to listen to very high quality sound file directly from macbook minijack without DAC?
@@JBarezIFQ I think so, you are going from digital (Flac file) to analog (3.5mm), and analog back to digital (DSP) and then to analog (sound) again. It’s a no brainer for Apple to implement USB DAC on the lightning port, but of course they won’t do it.
What kind of Apple Watch band is that? I’d like to get one.
bluetooth delay is so low on Airpods, that's a huge advantage, must be the H1 chip
Hey Max I'm listening to Hip Hop, Rnb, Afrobeats, Deephouse and planning on using these on conference and phone calls. Which headphones do you suggest I get?
Does the Bose have a white noise when ANC is on and you’re not listening to music?
Wİll you test them with DACS and other types of audio interfaces?
Love the 700s so comfortable and they sound great I can wear them for really long periods of time and not feel discomfort. Adjusting eq is nice and let the 700s really perform great. The noise canceling is awesome and blocks all the sound I need it too whether it be at home or in a car ride. I also like the noise canceling adjustment from 0,5,10. The battery could be better but then again sometimes I fall asleep with them on, that's how confortable they are lol. Over all happy with my purchase they are great for music movies TH-cam or anything I think based on price you really can't go wrong with bose 700s 👍. Save yourself some money and use the EQ for the bose.
What kind of vent and air unit do you have that makes so much noise you can hear it over ANC? I can put my 700’s on and not hear anything
Would it be possible to test against the Surface 2 Headphones?
can you try with Sennheiser Momentum 3?
Bose in audio vs the Boss in Technology.
Who will win?
You decide!
I like Bothss 🤪
Bose in audio.
I’ve been using the Bose 700 for 1.5 years at least 10h/day. Recently tried the Sony mx4 for two weeks while I was getting my 700s serviced. That said, I’m glad to have my Bose back. They’re Just slightly better in all aspects and Super responsive. I have to mostly agree with Max on his Bose review. However it’s a little unfair that he didn’t use the Bose app to adjust the equalizer. I only open the app when I’m having a sit down and want to enjoy an album at full volume. As with any speaker, settings need to be adjusted to fit the listening composition when it counts. For me, The app tends to solve all of those dynamic range issues that max was having.
Can't hold a candle to airpods max
@@prasade.p.3120 I can’t speak on that part. But in my opinion neither can max, he did ‘t use the Bose app
I've also been using Bose 700 for a year and I totally agree with you.
With the app it works fantastic.
try sony and bose, bose to me just kills it in detail and soundstage
Which settings do you recomment?
Thanks max you are working good only to make sure that we get the right headphones. You deserve the views of the people
no, he's also working to make money. hence the clickbait title
I hope you’re right I wanna like and trust this guy. He has a trustworthy face but idk.. 😐
@@rufusmainwaring3513 Do you work for an NGO or something? Obviously everyone works for money.
Yet another great review! I ordered a pair of the Max’s with a roll of the eyes and the intent of hating on them but... they are FANTASTIC! I did my own test comparison of them vs the Sony XM4 and Bose NC700 and I felt the same way as you with the music play comparison. However I also compared while watching the final battle scene of Avengers Endgame. It wasn’t even close. As an iOS user the difference between as like watching a movie with headphones with the Sony’s and the Bose’s, but for Max’s it was like being submerged into an amusement park. After that comparison I immediately packed to the Sony’s and Bose’s and returned them.
Bose are better
The ecosystem issue is my biggest concern. But build quality and comfort are high on my list. My head does not like most bands, so I'm hoping the AirPods are more comfortable. We'll see... Worst case I expect I'll be able to sell them.
Max I like your approach to headphone reviews. Well done. Thank you. And I listen to a lot of Rock and Blues....I think I am leaning towards the APMs.
They probably priced them like this so a lower cost version can be released later and to control demand. The wide sound stage is a bit disconcerting on my air pods max. I thought I was going crazy when it came online and I didn’t know it and could not tell what sounds were real and generated. It’s such a cool experience.
Amazing review! 2 things you talked about that no reviewer is taking about:
1. Which headphone is louder
2. Which headphone leak more sound
These 2 are the most important things in a headphone. Once again. Nice job man.
“Now we test AirPods Max vs the original EarPods! Uh oh Apple!”
Even a die hard Apple fan like me don’t feel comfortable about AirPod max’s pricing point
If you think apple pricing is not right, then you're officially not a die hard apple fan anymore
Hardcore Apple fan, not ok with the price, bought them anyway, will live on ramen for 2 weeks until I get paid and then all will be forgotten 🤣
Well I'm a die hard Apple fan too and I do feel comfortable sooo, not everyone's like you bud.
I wouldn’t mind if it came with a legit carrying case, audio jack to connect to flight screens, and wasn’t too heavy to be able to workout with. These three things officially make these a pass for me =\
@@rogeh5687 how do u like them? I’m wrestling between AirPods Max, Sony XM4 and Senheiser Momentum 3s
Regarding noise cancelation, the Bose cancel a little bit more on high frequencies. If you try both with the tv on, the Bose does a better job (unfortunately for me since I bought the AirPods Max yesterday). Do not regret, but the differences are not that huge between both.
Would love it if you guys would test out the Max with Sennheiser Momentum 3 or Bowers & Wilkins PX7, basically other great-sounding wireless headphones but does not excel in ANC like Sony and Bose. It's already known by this point that the ANC in the Max is very good, but the sound quality seems like a mixed bag from all the reviews I've seen.
How is the software? I just read bose community and people seem to be pretty fed up with firmwares bose has released.
Max Tech what is the music you are using for the classical comparison (with the piano notes)?
I have both of them and could not decide yet which one is better than other.
Would love a comparison with the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95, which is more of in the “league” of the AirPod Max from a different point of view. Keep up the good work.
That's 800 dollars
@@elvisdorkenoo yep. And they come with cables, an aluminum case that works, twice the battery life, different control scheme with dials, and are lighter. They also fold to a compact form. With the AirPod max, buying apples cables and a third party case of similar aluminum construction would probably make your total AirPods cost to around $800. This is what I meant from a different point of view. Airpods are like expensive XM4’s or cheap H95’s. I want that Max Tech level of review quality because nobody else is giving it.
@@ryankarpowicz1150 ok I get your point, but apart from that spatial computational thing, H95 are expected to have a better sound quality and fidelity; also less latency.
@@elvisdorkenoo yeah I really like how Max Tech does their reviews so here’s hoping!
Here in Finland the H95's are 800€ (978 USD) and AirPods Max are 629€ + 39€ for the cable (817 USD) so they would be pretty close in price if you get some aluminium case for the AirPods.
Bose 700 are 329€ (402 USD) and Sony XM4's are 359€ (439 USD)
Bought the Bose for 260€ instead of 400€ (new). Didn’t regret them for a sec. You just can’t justify the 629€ required for the AirPods Max, it is simply too much.
I don't think the airpods max aluminum shells are produced with CNC, would be super expensive right ? I think it's probably drawn in a two stage press, but I'm not sure.
What about using them to also edit podcasts? I’ll be listening to music but want to use them wired for editing.
I just bought the AirPods Max and I compared them to the QC35II. Here’s my review:
Overall the AirPods Max do sound better in the sense that they’re more detailed and there’s a better separation of notes. Treble can sometimes be a bit piercing though but not as much as on the Bose 700. As everyone already mentioned, there’s a better soundstage on the APM. I think there’s too much sub-bass and it’s like if there’s constantly a mix of music with the sound of an engine. The mid range is slightly recessed kinda like if vocals are more in the background.
I prefer the sound signature of the QC35II. They sound a little bit less powerful but the mid range is definitely better on these headphones. The vocals sound more natural and clear. Treble is a little bit lifeless compared to the APM. The QC35II are definitely more balanced overall.
To resume, the AirPods Max has better treble. The BOSE QC35II has better bass accuracy and much better mid range.
I can still return the AirPods Max but I’ll test and compare them a little bit more. I wish there were headphones as good as the AirPods Max with the sound signature of the Bose. That would be my dream wireless headphones. Hopefully one day Apple will release more balanced headphones with less sub-bass.
What about the anc? And comfort?
same here! I like the earphones/headphones of apple because of the treble and volume
@@queenbee6622 My review is trash. I was wrong on many points.
@@mohi671 My review is garbage. I should probably delete this.
@@urbanistgod we are entitled to our own opinion. no right no wrong. we all have different preferences... it's ok
Great review
Bose is in the audio business. Apple is in the marketing business.
About how it changes the EQ, sound style and volume: Apple being Apple. They believe they know whats better to you...
Can you do a comparison between the bose and the sony?
I can't watch your videos without liking them. Coz that fantastic👍🏼❤️ .
For the nc700 the true ambient mode is toggle by keeping a press on the left button, pressing it twice just turns off the NC
Thanks for your review! What about a sound quality review on an Android device? It should be very interesting!
Which has a better overall sound quality?
Small update you can get the Bose 700 with a charging case that should be able to charge 2 times I don’t remember specifically
Ummm so in the max vs xm4 you said you could hear the violin in the AirPods but now saying you can only hear it in the Bose a bit weird
Dude, how do you get your devices to review?
Great review - but a couple of things. Why would you go to the trouble of having a high resolution file and then plug your headphones into the laptop headphone out? The DAC in the computer will not be up to scratch compared with an outboard DAC - something like even a low cost one Topping E30.
The other thing was your classical track isn’t classical music!
Great to see such thorough reviews though. Would live to see this compared to an HD600 with a decent amplifier.
Great job Thx
The vent noise test is phenomenal
Just picked up the Bose 700 and I love them so much very comfortable love the noise canceling and touch controls and the case overall very satisfied These are better compared to the Sony ones then air pod max
That AirPods max case is so frustratingly stupid
Honestly don’t think so
Absolutely agree
Designed by feminists at Apple.
Yeah they totally missed the point of a case...
@@thecwwshow8036 I agree 100% with you first of all if they have a better build and I’m not going to break like these other plastic pieces of shit. Secondly when on the go it is nice to be able to just pull them out quickly. It makes me wonder what people do with their headphones that they need such protection from a hard case and ignore the fact that the AirPods are miles ahead and build quality. I heard the same from the master and dynamic haters to and those things are built like a tank.
I like your test! But can you test the AirPods Max against the best mobile head phone I ever listen to. It’s the Beyerdynamic T5p.
