This week Emma received a pair of AirPods Max as a gift. Being the Apple fanboy that I am I had to do a quick little review.
Here are my thoughts:
- They're expensive but it's a high quality product
- They're beautiful to look at and hold, the materials it's made of are premium
- The noise cancelling is excellent, maybe the best I've ever experienced, the AirPods Pro honestly aren't too far behind though
- Using them for ~40 mins felt super comfortable
- Transparency mode isn't as good as AirPods Pro, which makes sense given that the AirPods Pro are not over ear
- It has a rich sound, the bass is thick but it's controlled
- 80% volume is loud, you don't need much more
- Syncing was simple with my Mac, just had to go into bluetooth settings, sure its just as good with the phone
- The volume knob is super smooth, it's kinda fun changing volume
- The button to switch between noise cancelling and transparency mode is nice
- Backwards and forwards with a double and triple tap on the volume knob also works well
- The case is weird looking but it works
