Cons

Skip it if

Skip it if you are not in the Apple ecosystem — some of its best features are tied to iPhone and Mac, so non-Apple users get less from it.

How we assessed it

We synthesized this

Apple built the AirPods Max around its own ecosystem, and that is the whole story here. Pro-level active noise cancellation quietens a commute or an open-plan office, while Personalised Spatial Audio and Transparency Mode add depth and let the room back in — both at their fullest on an iPhone or Mac. The aluminium-and-mesh canopy and USB-C charging round out a set made for people already living in Apple's world.

That tie-in is also the catch. Several of the standout features do the most only on Apple hardware, so if you listen mainly from an Android phone or a Windows laptop, you will leave part of the feature set unused. Our read synthesises Apple's documented features and the AirPods Max reputation rather than a hands-on ANC test — see how we test.
