They don't look much bigger than most in my opinion. They are a little bit larger in the square form factor, but they are not as wide as most when looking at them from the front. I don't mind the size personally.

I will have to say, I had been in the sony echosystem with having the MDR-Z7 M1 and loved them, I also had the wh1000xm3 and while I loved them I needed a new sound signature as they were getting boring, but I was a bit nervous when I made the decision to get the Airpod Max. But after finally getting them(5/31/2021) and using them for a few days now, I have been pleasantly surprised how good they were. They are not hi res but I am really impressed with them. The build quality is amazing. Case is kind of stupid but oh well...nothing is perfect!

Hey Scott, thank you so much for reviewing the AirPods Max. I know you spoke from an Audiophile perspective. I heard some concerns that there is a delay issue when using them for audio editing. Is this the case for you and should that be factored in? Thanks in advance.

With wireless, you have a slight delay but honestly I’ve had no problem editing with them. I still watch waveforms a lot so it’s no concern with me.

I agree that APM are amazing and I love the way they sound. They aren't accurate though -- and that's a big part of why I like them. I have neutral reference headphones like HD 650's and K371's and at a minimum the APM are bass boosted. It's mostly subbass though, it doesn't bleed into midbass and make them sound bloated like Sony's ANC headphones. They do sound clean, very low distortion, but not neutral or accurate. It's a very consumer-friendly sound signature but it's executed perfectly. 👌

I like as accurate of headphones as possible as well but you always have to keep in mind that very few people listen to accurate headphones. hundreds of millions of people listen through airpods, or apple headphones or something similar. That's why I always have the debate in my own head as to what's most important to check your reference on.

It was refreshing to hear your review so I subscribed. I’ve had the maxes for 3 months in space gray and have been nothing but impressed. They sound great and I use them daily for music and to block out my neighbors. In the same time I’ve been exploring “audiophile” wired headphones and have the DT1990s and the Audeze LCDi3s. (been a long time without good sound!) I enjoy both of those but the maxes complement them and sound better on certain tracks than they do. Im using a Chord Mojo and dragonfly cobalt btw. Maybe they haven’t been “burned in” enough yet idk im new to this. Anyway the maxes are being truly bashed everywhere it’s like a smear campaign or something and totally undeserved. Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Hi Scott, i have a question: Do you think they can compete with other 500$ Studio Headphones? I sometimes like composing and do rough mixes with my laptop on my couch and i’m searching for a kind of an allrounder. I used to have the beyerdynamic dt 1770 and liked the sound a lot, but they had other thinks that i didn’t like and returned them. Do you think the Airpods Max are good for mixing (obviously wired)? Thanks for your work. Cheers
@scottmckenna
3 жыл бұрын
I definitely think they can compete yes. They are very natural sounding which is obviously important when it comes to mixing. I don't know if I would necessarily build my final mix on them, but the big advantage they have compared to most others is that they CAN be wireless when you want them to be.

Hey Scott, When you started I thought you were going to trash them but yours turned out to be one of the most objective and clear reviews of the Max. I just ordered a pair in the same color. I read somewhere that the white headband is having some hair grease spotting issues. That's why I changed form Silver to Space. I have a question for everyone out there. No one has been able to tell me if the headband mesh can be repaired in case of a tear. Even the Apple people didn't have an answer. Anyone know anything?

You can remove the headband easily, there are small holes on each ear cup which will release the headband using the sim card removal tool. This can make them more compact for travel but also scope for Apple to sell replacement bands or users to change colors as you can already with the ear pads.

@@scottmckenna I'm saying it, because i am in the Apple eco system and i have so many cables USB-A to Lightning (new not used) flying around, because each device had them. But i also know the time, when i just had the iPhone and after 2-3 years the cable was broken and i had to buy a new one. In my opinion apple has to sell the cables more affordable or reduce the prices of their devices accordingly, to be able to buy the extra cable.
