I’ve been using the Apple AirPods Max for a few weeks now, and they are hands-down the best pair of headphones I’ve ever owned! The build quality is superb—premium materials that feel solid yet incredibly comfortable even during long listening sessions.

These headphones are amazing, they are super comfortable and the sound is crisp and clear. I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books and the sound is better than my more expensive headphones. Very pleased, highly recommend.

Brilliant headphones, great sound, fantastic value for money look alot more expensive and you can also add a wire at the bottom so best of both worlds, would definitely recommend.

I’m simply delighted, they are very similar to the AirPods Max. I’m delighted with the sound quality, as well as the appearance. They are very pretty and you can distinguish the right and left sides at the top. Totally recommended!

Excellent headphones, the sound is super, I use it to play PUBG, the only minus is when I talk on the phone, it is hard to hear me, but in the game the sound from a micro phone is okay!

Surprisingly good, I have them for traveling and I don’t think I’ll end up with them just there.
