  • PositiveVery natural sound
  • PositiveVery effective noise cancelling
  • NegativeA little heavy
  • Negativeall functions only with Apple players

Apple's AirPods Max are very expensive, but also really good. It shines with natural sound without artificial effects, very good noise cancellation and many functional conveniences. Cheaper competitors can hardly keep up. The Max is also at the forefront when it comes to weight, but the wide headband distributes it well.

  • PositiveVery detailed and powerful sound
  • PositiveVery simple operation
  • NegativeA little heavy
  • Negativemoderate battery life

The Apple AirPods Max are really good, but not enough for a place on the podium. Above all, the high weight prevented a better ranking. In addition, the battery life of 21.5 hours was the shortest tested. The great sound is natural and very detailed, the switchable noise suppression muffles noise better than most competitors. In addition, the operation via the small crown is very functional.

In some areas, cheaper competitors can keep up, but in total, no one is better. This will be worth 600 euros to many buyers, and the delivery times speak volumes.

The AirPods Max from Apple are great for conversations: Speech is clear and easy to understand, and they reliably block out background noise. Apple also impresses with strong noise cancellation and a great sound, as well as 3D sound and head tracking.
