So Apple’s AirPods Max over the ear headphones are really great. (Our many years old Bose headphones were falling apart, big Black Friday discounts). Switching between Apple devices works great, noise cancellation works great, but most noticeably the sound quality is superb. I really noticed it last night watching via our AppleTV the Robert Stigwood documentary “ Mr. Saturday Night” (which is great, BTW), and the sound seemed to be coming straight off the TV screen — it really was like sitting at really good movie theater.
Music sound quality is great as well. I probably would have gotten them on day one if not for the pandemic preventing me from trying them on at local Apple Store. (The Beats headphones didn't fit me at all, the Bose ones did, very comfortably, I was afraid the Apple branded ones would be like the Beats).
Yes, the cases are the dumbest thing ever as many reviews have mentioned, but if you want truly great headphones for home or work, these are it. They also show how absurdly superior to generic Bluetooth Apple’s proprietary AirPlay is.
