AirPods Max Review in 2024 - Still Misunderstood!

Apple AirPods Max Review in 2024 - Still Worth it 3+ Years Later?
Apple's AirPods Max were clowned on immediately for their $549 price tag and the silly case they came bundled with but after more than 3 years of daily use, I think these headphones are still misunderstood. So in this video, we revisit the AirPods Max in 2024 to discuss how far they've come in terms of firmware updates, durability, pricing, and usability. We also discuss whether or not they're worth buying in 2024 even if AirPods Max 2 get released later this year. Enjoy!

The absolute must have accessory for these: not a case, but a silicone cover for the headband! There is no downside to the look and feel of the APM, but you do protect the most vulnerable part of the design from aging poorly. Its a must have.

[@nickjr2189]

When I bought my first pair of AirPods Max back in January 2022 (at 17 😁), they were amazing and I loved everything about them. I bought it from Amazon. However in August 2022, I experienced technical issues such as water damage, and no audio sound when connected, and random disconnections. From August 2022 to January 2023 I sent Apple my AirPods to fix. They claim to fix it, but each month the water damage was persistent and wouldn’t go away after Apple fixed it. So it made me sad to slowly give up fixing my AirPods; later in August 2023 , I saved up and I went to buy a new pair from Apple and it’s been great ever since. I hope Apple releases a new model with the new H chip and USB- C and 30 or 40 hour battery life. Great video as always Brandon and voice too!

[@northwestrcs]

I agree with you on all of it. I love my max's and I use them mostly with a Windows PC for gaming and content consumption. I'm actually using them right now that way. The main reason I got them is for the transparency and ANC modes. Spatial audio is really good with my iPhone 15PM too. Best headphones I've ever had, only thing I would change is the lightning connector. The meme-worthy bra case does a really good job when traveling, fits in my carry-on backpack easily. I use the windows MagicPods app so the audio seamlessly switches between my PC and the Maxes when I take them on and off. Shows Battery percentage too. They work amazingly well in almost all situations except the gym. They tend to slide off during bench press and running on the treadmill. I use Powerbeats Pros for that. Good video, been subscribed for years.

[@BobRossRightHand]

I loved my AirPods Max, best sound, best ANC, and best transparency by far. But I think they have a serious design flaw, just a year after I got mine whenever I touched the right earcup it died and the headset disconnected and restarted, and looking online A LOT of people have had this issue and it seems to be caused by the design of the connector between the earcup and the headband

[@BrandonButch]

Wow, interesting 🤨. Thankfully I haven’t had that happen but hopefully it gets adjusted for gen 2

[@raginOKCTHUNDER]

Same exact issue I had. Drives me nuts!

[@pseudo]

Same here! Mine started acting before the one year mark and Apple said they basically replaced almost everything - I got it back and it worked for 3 months then the same issue came back. by then I was so comfortable with AirPod pro that I never use these anymore.

[@sanderhoogeland9161]

Yeah, mine does the same thing.

[@Mars357ify]

Never ani problem I love my set

[@joerobinnettebiden4723]

Some restrictions have nothing to do with the chip. This includes, for example, personalized volume. This feature is not performed by the AirPods themselves, but is made possible by the machine of learning on the paired device. Conversation awareness is also a feature that should work. The microphones of the AirPods always listen anyway in order to be able to respond to Siri requests. They also recognize when speaking and do not read messages out loud while talking.

[@ForceUser-vj7db]

48.000 calculations per second (H2) vs 200 (H1) is quite a difference that explains why the feature set is not the same.

[@joerobinnettebiden4723]

@@ForceUser-vj7db which features do you mean exactly and how does the sample rate make a difference?

[@ForceUser-vj7db]

@@joerobinnettebiden4723 Beginning with adaptive NC and conversation awareness, higher processing power and/or efficiency might be needed, in my humble opinion, to switch from ANC to transparency and lower all other volumes except for voices. I don't think it's that these features wouldn't be possible at all. Rather, they might not work well enough. They could either consume too much power or function in a way that users wouldn't actually benefit from. There's also the possibility that poorly working features could negatively affect other well-functioning ones. Since Apple prefers on-device processing, not too many tasks are handled by the linked device, which is why more efficient Bluetooth standards or the best possible neural engine (with significant differences across generations) are important.

[@SlowDRV]

Im on my 2nd pair . My 1st pair i had since day one stopped connecting and charging. I use mine everyday for at least 9hours a day while working . I love them more than any other headphones even at the price point being so high

[@popheartless]

Same here day 1 user no issues just wish the mesh stood firm but I got a accessory for that other then that no issue at all

[@RiqMoran]

One thing I will say is if you have APMs, definitely try out using them wired as they do sound noticeably better and are good up to around 24/48 quality. Theres a lot of misconceptions regarding APM wired mode, but trust me just try it out. Yeah you need 40 dollars worth of apple's official cables, but if you already bought APM you might as well. 😂

[@TravelerVolkriin]

I’ll pass. Wires fray and short out over time. I’ll never get the obsession with cords for like a 10% increase in sound quality.

[@RiqMoran]

@@TravelerVolkriin thats fine if you dont like wires. just know theres a huge difference between bluetooth quality and wired quality. and in a fewyears, apple will offer that higher quality in wireless form so you dont have to bother with wires.

[@joseaavellanet4322]

Great review! I was thinking getting a brand headphones, the price was my main concern. Maybe I can get used ones or refurbished and safe some money.

[@ndeeanka]

i dont trust refurbished or second hand devices. But if you have money, get them brand new, you wont regret

[@RonaldBrown59]

I use them all the time to with the Apple TV to watch movies late at night.. They are still worth getting, even with the rumors of a new model coming later this year. Thanks for sharing.

[@jessicacollins8049]

Would you recommend these for someone with nerve pain in their neck and shoulders?

[@knmyers]

[@uchito30]

hey Brandon, thank you for the review, I greatly enjoyed it. I was about to buy the AirPodsMax after watching it, but in the end, I didn't and I thought I would ask your thoughts on some of the features my current MX -1000M4, (which I use to WFH) has like connecting to 2 devices at the same time - I think for a device that is £200+ more expensive the AirPods Max should have, right? but my question for you is, how does having automatic swap. between devices works for you, does it work as well as Apple claims? I have tried this feature with the AirPods Pro and it was so bad I disabled it completely I work from home and use the MX-1000M4 for music, video conferences and calls they work great, but since these are 3YO I am thinking of upgrading to AirPods Max...but I am on the fence ... I made my peace with having a lighting cable for charging but the two device thing has put me off. any thoughts would be appreciated.

[@andgar923]

I love mine, one of the biggest complaint I have is the volume being low. The case has never been an issue for me and I travel often.

I’ve had several earbuds but I bought my first full size headphones a few months ago, I got the Beats Studio Pro on sale for 180.

Not pulling the trigger on the APM due to 1)lightning port, 2) so many problems people report, and 3) stupid case that I cant get over. Really hoping to see if APM2 going to come out soon. I'm decided that APM are better for me (being 100% in the apple ecosystem) than the Bose or Sony offerings. I recently picked up the B&W Px7 S2e and B&O H95 to scratch the itch, but I think APM2 will be an instabuy for me (with apple care, of course).

[@davidg2927]

Thank you for this comprehensive video.

[@Leo.501]

Condensation is real, day 1 user here also and they got broken from condensation, they replaced both sides and now it is ok (it was still under warranty), but I use them rarelly since the repair from 2022. I think it from climate, in my area/city there is a lot of humidity and also you get low/high temparature differences often. Still I love them even if I use them like 1-2h and I always check for condensation after. Cheers!

[@Stanley88845]

The mesh on the head band is sagging loads on mine. I’ve had mine for 3 years and in that time that is my only complaint. It’s a shame thought as it makes then terribly uncomfortable for long sessions.

I'm generally done with over the ear headphones,beacuse when you want to take them you must have a bag with you while with TWL headphones you just put them in you're pocket and that's it..

[@isaacwutkee11]

I got my AirPods Max about 6 months after they were released, and I don’t use them every day, but I do use them multiple times per week. I love their ease of use, due to being always on and immediately connecting, and I completely agree about their case design. Traveling with them is by far the simplest for over-ear headphones, and I also have had no worries about damaging them. I enjoy watching TV shows and movies with them; however, I turn elsewhere for listening to music. I think vocals could be better, and the bass is far too weak for my taste. I have Bose QC Ultras for music and I love the way they sound. But I don’t use them as much because the case is more of a hassle, they take longer to connect, and toggling between ANC/immersion requires me to hold down a button for like 3 seconds. They’re less convenient, but I still love those headphones. I also have had no problems ever with battery life on the APM. And again, I turn to these by far the most for over-ear use due to pure convenience. Super easy to stow in their case, always on and ready to connect, and very quick to change volume or toggle between hearing modes. I really couldn’t think of a better design.

[@tom123216]

I think the reasons for not getting one are quite clear - cold aluminium cups + humid warm ear canal = condensation issues that will eventually kill all APMs. Most people I know who own one have had theirs die after 2 years. Planned obsolescence? - connector issues on right ear cup - fragile & flexed mesh band after long term use, no longer supports weight after it is loose = too heavy - ear cups that knock each other when you wear them around your neck - design that doesn’t let you fold the cups both ways, you can’t rest them on your collarbone without rotating them the wrong way - if you forget the bra case = constantly draining & recharging, = poor long term battery health - lightning connector - sound leaks a lot - silicone rubber eventually becomes stained and shiny/sticky

[@TravelerVolkriin]

I’ve had mine since September 2022. Have never had any issues with them other than ear fatigue. And that’s because I wear glasses.

[@yabawkward]

I thought Apple rolled out an update that made the APMs go into low power mode (the same one the bracase gives) if unused for a period of time outside the case

As they are now, they sound awful. Nearly no bass, they’re very tinny. The transparency mode is garbage too, especially compared to my AirPods Pro earbuds.

Surprisingly the AirPods Max are more comfortable that the lighter plastic lighter ones that I mentioned. The ONLY drawback for me is that the lightning connection takes so long to charge my AirPods Max’s. You can’t just charge for 20 minutes and expect to get a big increase. That’s the only thing that sucks. Lastly, I think the original Apple case looks like a person that has on sunglasses, NOT a “Bra.” 🤷🏽‍♂️ Oh…and I think the new AirPods Max’s are going to have the exact same design but they’re going to be a little lighter with a Titanium construction, USB-C, a better chipset, and more microphones and of course with ALL the features of the AirPods Pro 2

[@sigiligus]

Yeah, a lot of these guys just blare trash pop and hip hop music. You don’t even need ANC for that to block out noise.

[@sebastiaocosta4449]

@@sigiligus it´s help a little bit..but no so strong...

hey you should have told to wait for gen 2 because within 3-4 monts it will come out

[@latinreuben]

On Prime Days, it was at $350 but that's a purse with lightning connection. Airpods Pro all the way.

[@ddjslhomebase243]

Hard to find used ones that aren’t fake. Careful. I love my AirPods Max. I mostly use them while traveling.

[@goyerman]

I read a ton of reviews and everyone says they don’t last more than a year. They all say the batteries fail in a year. AppleCare is a must

For some reason my APMs can’t respond to Siri, only Hey Siri. Does anyone know how to enable this?

[@elijah2363]

I think the airpods max is one of the best products ive bought, no regretrs after 3 years, the sound quality is just so good, the hardware quality is superior , I cant live without them, the only thing I regret is getting the silver one because it stains a little but not too bad

[@thecapone45]

I think instead of a case, some sort of bag like a polyester bag or something like a small gym bag would be great for these. For more protection, yeah get a Hard case… But honestly I’d just keep them in my bag anyways. I personally wouldn’t need a hard case.

Hi I use Glasses Every Single Day, Can Someone Tells Me If They Are Comfortable With Glasses???

[@michaeltorrey3603]

Depends on your glasses but not really. Hard to get a tight seal around the ear and the thicker your frames are the worse it is. Best to try them out at an Apple Store if possible.

[@RiqMoran]

I would say not really. But depends on the thickness of the temples. I have a traditional pair and another pair with sleek thin metallic temples and those are the kind of glasses i think work best with headphones.

[@Summerfan69]

I wear them with my sunglasses no problem!

[@PaulaCianciSoveral]

I bought those after being veryyy reluctant on spending so much money on headphones. Best purchase I've ever did! These are not heavy, have the best noise cancellation and I love how "smart" these are: can simply switch between my Mac, iPhone and iPad in a beat. I also love the look and even the case. Battery could last a little longer, but it's not bad.

i purchased the air pods max used because of this video . ive had the Sony XM4 , Sony XM5 , bose QC 2 , bose 700 , Bose QC 45 , Bose QC ultra and they all sound very good to me. even the latest Beats much improved but in my opinion the sound quality was better on the Air pods max . not the most comfortable for long listening but not horrible , and being an apple eco system guy i made the switch back to max ! The build quality and look is also a lot more premium to me as well .

[@michaellatta]

You got lucky. We have bought 3. 2 needed repair in the first year, and slowly degraded (connection issues and failures). I bought the 3rd after the first pair died after the 2 year AppleCare expired, because I need them to travel and do con-calls. I bought the 3rd to get Apple care again. I hope this pair lasts longer.

[@codyratliff8346]

I do like mine and I think they are quality headphones. However I still don't think they justify their pricetag.

[@ndeeanka]

I bought my AirPods Max last year, and I loved them from the very first day I used them; they blew my mind. However, they started updating their firmware automatically, which I really hate. Now, the noise cancellation doesn't seem as strong or amazing as it was on the first day. When I first got them, the AirPods Max would block every, and I mean EVERY other noise. But nowadays, I still hear noises going on around me, like when I'm in my classroom and have ANC on, but I still hear other students talking(unless I play music) Is it just me whose facing this? am i just overreacting? because im pretty sure Noise cancellation is suppose to block all other sounds, especially conversations near you, but for some reason i can hear almost every word of a conversation near me And for some reason i dont see the mute call option on my airpods max settings😳i never even knew this feature existed until i watched this video

[@burfside]

Had my air pod max since 2021 and love themmm. The only way they could get better is is they make them sweat and water resistance. If they do that then I’d be able to workout in them too. But overall 10/10 headphone
