What specific feature makes these worth $550 to you? Or is it a combo of things?

[@Vuroz]

none.

[@techyOS]

the smart case. but this case is so stupid -Marques Brownlee, 2020

[@beckyorton8312]

In Canada these are $780, that’s almost a mortgage payment for headphones... not in the budget for most.

[@darkgnome666]

Everything!

[@kudzu01]

A combination of things.

[@RM-lj8bv]

Great informative video, nicely presented. I'm getting the space grey ones, I have ordered for march.

[@musicviolamusician4392]

Mine are arriving next tuesday and Im so excited! I bought the color black because it looks cleaner long term. My second choice was silver but then saw some peoples videos saying that the mesh fabric easily shows dirt

[@andreaboite492]

Thank you so much, I would have never known! I love the noise cancellation and sound!

[@Connor-B]

I don’t have these but I think it’s nice and beneficial for people to learn about what they need to know. Your helping people every video.

[@SinginSquid12]

I will never go back to Bose QuietComfort 35 after having the airpod max. There is literally no comparison. It functions so much better especially for toggling between devices. This was an awesome video. Thank you!

[@gdoomz8109]

Hey man 3.5 mm connect that work great right ? I’m just still want to make sure that’s work before buy the Airpod max

[@SuperBussmaster]

@@gdoomz8109 it actually does work man it’s how I use mine in my desktop I should just get a Bluetooth usb plugin but 😂

[@ganymeade5151]

Bose is much cheaper and much more comfortable to wear. These headphones caress and comfort the wearer. However, it depends on how you plan to use the headphones; and what type of music you prefer. Bose is great for classical, very subtle and nuanced sounds, jazz, light rock, classic rock, piano, guitar, atmospheric, spa, oldies--not for bass and heavy metal. Bose is great for news, media, and communication. The sports world often uses Bose. People love Bose. However, the best sounding headphones are the plug in studio ones made in Germany and Italy that are preferred by the most discerning audiophiles. Then again, it depends on your preference. Apple AirPodMax are cool looking and great headphones. However, the headband does not provide the cushioning and comfort of other headphones that are less expensive. The heavy steel rather than titanium makes these headphones uncomfortable and can cause headaches. The cheap looking headband that looks worse over time has no cushioning. For a hefty $500 dollars, Apple could have done better in terms of user comfort.

[@Geemeel1]

HOORAY well done, very helpfull, flying with these Max's are a real new experience never thought that they would work that great up in the air. ! Sound matches my H9 (almost) from B&O

[@JamesCookinham]

Just got min Headset and this is most helpful! Thanks!

[@JohnPyle]

I have narrowed down to the airpod max and the Sony xm4. These tips are helpful and easy. Thank you.

[@Prof.Z_Maxx]

Thx Brandon. Best feature is sound quality. 🎧✌🏾

[@LDwaffle]

thanks for all the color combos in the description !

[@mchestnut1970]

I have the same ones you have here. These are by far the best headphones I’ve ever owned.

[@slowmastervideos]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏾 noise cancellation is awesome

[@Phills69]

Best headset I’ve ever owned. Love it. I didn’t even know some of the stuff like the battery widget and the live listen feature. Thats pretty cool for if you leave a meeting to go to the bathroom or something but don’t wanna miss anything. Pretty dope.

[@tecategpt1959]

How do they hold up today?

[@Phills69]

@@tecategpt1959 I’m still quite thrilled with them.

[@vhines10]

I love mine as well. I’ve had the sony whxm4 & 5. My AirPods Max is overall win for me especially for sound quality and comfort

[@earnest478]

Im thinking about picking up a pair of the air pod max. How is the quality of the phone calls using them ?

[@dolphin7913]

Wow amazing! As I purchased one w/o fully learning its features. So I’m glad to see this video! Thanks :)

Just got mine today in Sky Blue so Really Appreciate the Top Tips which are invaluable - Thanks for your content and Keep up the Great Work 👍

Did it feel heavy on the head ? As its heavier as compared to its companions eg sony xm5

I finally gave in and got some - love them so far - and really appreciate the tips here. Thanks, Brandon! :)

[@sg2664]

Extremely useful video. Appreciate how efficiently you covered everything. Well done!

Can you do a video on how they work the Mac Book Pro? I noticed that it will not switch between my phone and mac very well.

Thanks Brandon

Most helpful and I followed each step. So glad that I was able to establish the decibel level healthy zone to protect my hearing.

Awesome video Brandon, I just got mine in space grey and thanks to you I’m an expert now 😅🙏🏻 thanks. All great features my favorite… all of them.

[@babyyoda9943]

I got mine last week, but i have a few questions. I had to reset them, and I didn’t know i had to charge them before doing so. Could i have damaged them by doing that?

[@mickeygarcia2331_]

I wonder when the next update for the headphones comes out

[@hastyjaguar]

Brandon love your content I’m a relatively new subscriber

[@BrandonButch]

Hey thanks! Glad to have you here 😊

[@julio9326]

Might get them

[@RM-lj8bv]

I would like for there to be a video on the spacial sound effect with music etc. for the AirPods max. The reason I have ordered mine.

[@Hc4697]

What special sound effect

[@djcity1]

What watt is recommended for the USB-C block?

[@joshuahoward4591]

At 12:38, you don't have to haptic press to get to the airplay controls. Just tap the airplay icon at the top right corner of control center.

[@robertsaenz]

Is there a video to turn up the decibels when connected to a Mac?

[@LanceSom]

My AirPods Max are coming tomorrow and I watched your video to get ready to learn how to use them. Thank you so much! Your video is extremely informative!

[@ChristophStrohfeld]

Is the cable working with PC? So I can also use the Mic on PC with my air pods max?

[@TimTheTinCan]

Does the cable support lossless audio?

[@Hc57I7IGaming]

Got Air Pod Max as a Christmas gift!

[@mikeymofonz]

That live listen thing is crazy haha. Stalker Mode 😂

[@jjones7831]

I have done every combination to update headphones and nothing. My iPhone is 14.4.1 and did a hard reset on the AirPods. Any suggestions, thanks Jeff

[@gdoomz8109]

So if i buy 3.5 mm plug and connect to PC windows 10 that’s work right

[@tinopopsyhove6747]

Awesome

[@joedirt7423]

Best pair of headphones I ever owned. I like my Sony and Bose, but these are definitely better.

hello Brandon im Joe from London i just bought the Airpods Max and i am having problems activating Spatial Audio i havr the iphone 12 max and some of the settings on your iphone you are using in this video are not on the Airpods Max and i just cant seem to activate spatial audio can you help with perhaps an update on this topic i have the latest software version 15.2.1 can you help? regards Joe

[@ndeeanka]

does the band get dirty easily?

Thank you for this video. Your content is pretty good putting in account the channel size. I am considering subscribing but I haven’t made up my mind yet. Might have to watch a couple more videos to confirm my decision.

[@Quayb24]

😂😂😂

[@choupan92368]

Brandon your videos are much appreciated. From production, clarity, usefulness and overall vibe it’s great stuff! Keep up the great job! Just got mine today after listening to your review yesterday.

[@Malledeus86]

I was a Bose guy for a long time. I got really annoyed with some in ear Bose plugs I had a few years back though. I had Android phone watch combo with those plugs and music would switch back and forth from headphones to the watch randomly it was really dumb. I switched to ask Apple stuff and I’ll never go back. Everything is so seamless, and the headphones are way better than my Bose ones were. Just got these max ones and they are super comfy and sound fantastic. Noise cancelling is amazing on these.

[@kaysule]

Build quality sound and noice cancellation !!!

[@napalm1537]

Will any lightning to 3.5mm audio Jack cable work to plug it into my pc or does it have to be specifically apple?

[@djhighrise2747]

Has to be the apple cord. Already tried it.

[@velsjr21-77]

How do I connect to bluetooth

Im getting AirPods Max today it’s 2am I can’t sleep but I want to cuz I wanna get my hands on those headphones

[@Djm8520]

My APM’s stayed connected to my iphone and iPad for months. Now, it’s a huge hassle to connect them every time.

[@yungnate7155]

Is it worth upgrading to these if I have the Beats Solo 3 wireless?

[@Hc4697]

Yeah

How come when I talk on the phone with a friend - they tell me i sound horrible and that I echo ?

These are actually pretty cool 😎 they’re a little sophisticated in my opinion.

[@BrandonButch]

Yeah they aren't as simple as the Pros but I love it!

[@kristinaveirum]

@@BrandonButch No definitely not! They’re way too big for me, and I’ve never been in to over the ear headphones, but I can understand why people would want these even with price they come with 😊 And here in Denmark they could be comfortable and warm here during the winter 🥶

[@rahandrzgar264]

But very nice

[@lile4life713]

Is the update required because I’m not losing my jaolbreak for these

[@BrandonButch]

Required for some features, not to use them in general

do they get dirty easily like how everyone says?

[@maxbaxter2003]

Ok y'all I was debating on AirPods Max and the Sony xm5 and I decided on the AirPods Max for a couple reasons. 1. Im an apple guy, most of my devices are apple 2. I like the sleeker look and I heard is was a lot more comfortable which I agree 3. I actually prefer the metal feel 4. I liked the color choices and I already had a blue iPad Air so I got the blue AirPods Max Tips I learned: GET APPLE MUSIC TO GET FULL EXPERIENCE! They are the same price so just make the switch bc it has better audio for the AirPods Max Make sure the right and left cups are on the correct ear If able to, turn all audio settings on Apple Music in settings to high res. Dolby Atmos/ lossless audio
