@@malcolmhightower9407 He's correct. The Sony XM4s, Bose QC Ultras, Sennheisers, etc are supremely better for hundreds of dollars less. Anyone buying these for full price is insane. They're 50% heavier than most headphones. They have 5 year old technology. They don't have any modern airpod features. They have a horrible non-protective case. They have the lowest battery life out of any modern headphones. Anyone buying these is either ignorant or an apple fanboy.

[@r0main.895]

I bough AirPods Max in early August and I could not be more satisfied. As long as you use Apple Music and watch your movies with dolby atmos then it's 80% positive. They are much more reliable than AirPods Pro first gen that also used H1. The case is bad but it does the job for me . Battery life is OK tier, lasting 2 days if you spend most of your day with the headphone on your head. Otherwise the rest is a Win, very good.

Hey! Which one should I buy: the new AirPods Max (Type C), Bose QuietComfort Ultra, or Sony XM5 headphones? I’m not concerned about the price; I just want something with outstanding sound quality and excellent active noise cancellation (ANC). I listen to a lot of hip-hop, R&B, rock, jazz, and other genres, so audio performance is key. I also want a pair that’s comfortable for extended wear-whether I’m traveling, relaxing, or using them frequently over the years. Since I use Apple devices (iPhone and iPad), compatibility would be a bonus. What would you recommend?

I have the “old version” and they are the best headphones I own. Best in noise cancellation, premium build, great sound, but I agree 100% with this recommendation. The upgrade is not worth it. Find them used, or find a newer version from another brand at half the price.

[@ChrisCo813]

I disagree.. I also have the first version of APM… they are starting to go downhill with background audio imperfections and issues with connectivity…so just by getting a new pair it would be a huge upgrade from the original product… those advising not to buy these make sense..but not everyone is in the same situation so I wouldn’t tell everyone not to buy it just because you specifically don’t think it’s a good idea

The AirPod Max headphones I purchased two years ago spent a ton of time not working and sent to service, because of liquid damage. My ears sweat a lot. I even tried taking the pads off and drying anywhere I found moisture. Just before the Apple Care ran out, I sent them in for the 6th time to be repaired. That was a month ago and already they are acting up. I was really looking forward to the new release mainly because one of the expected upgrades was water proofing, at least to some extent. I am so disappointed by what Apple did, or did not do with this new release. Because I could not renew the warranty, I can trade them in at Best Buy and get something else. What would you advise for me to get that plays well with Apple and sound as good as my Max?

[@hodasamadi7903]

I presume they didn't want to upgrade the hardware because they didn't want to add "Adaptive Transparency," which a person would most likely use outdoors. They don't want you to use it outdoors because it isn't waterproof/dustproof, etc... The reason they didn't want to do that was probably because they would have had to change the entire design of the AirPods Max since they likely prefer the comfort/aesthetics of the mesh design. Thus, there would be no reason to upgrade the hardware or redesign it for outdoor use and are pushing users to get the Beats Studio Pro with lossless for those reasons instead.

[@mikecast20]

I agree with the sentiment to not buy these, as they are a lazy release but this notion that there are cheaper easily better sounding headphones is nuts. Bluetooth headphones mostly suck, including these but in that terrible range of audio products the only headphones that compete with these are the Bathys and Momentum 4 but they both lose in the ANC department. I personally think Momentum 4 and Bathys sound better but it's all close enough at that point. Bose are super comfortable, top tier ANC and have decent sound but fall behind all three of these. The Sony XM over ear series is honestly just a mediocre-sounding headphone with top-tier ANC. My brother and myself have the XM4 and we will occasionally go back to them and complain to each other about how shitty they sound. If you want top-tier ANC with the best sound, Airpod Max is your only choice because the other two that compete with sound cannot compete in ANC. Buy these if you haven't yet and want those features otherwise get the Momentum 4 for $250, build is generic but the audio is top-notch (in crappy Bluetooth world of course) and ANC is solid.

Can get a pair of Bose quiet comfort ultra for half the price

[@DigitalSlang]

@@brandonfrost9801 and there better

[@r0main.895]

My sister got the Bose recently and I went for AirPods Max. From my perspective and what I tested on my her headphone, AirPods are superior in every way except weight (which doesn't bother me at all) and maybe ANC which is slightly better on the ultra. I find AirPods Max to be amazing, easily worth 400€ but nut 580€.

[@rickd438]

Not impressed with Bose's sound overall. Apple and Sony have much more rich dynamic sound.

[@vpookiej9]

I agree with you Sir.

[@DigitalSlang]

@@vpookiej9 thank you

[@thepress1790]

I have AirPods Max 1st gen and have loved them they are my go to AirPods since regular AirPods hurt and irritated ears while the maxes don’t, I have been waiting for FOUR YEARS for a better version to come out, and apple released the SAME VERSION BUT WITH DIFFERENT COLORS AND A NEW PORT, THATS IT, NO NEW CASE, NO NEW CHIP, NO BETTER SOUND QUALITY, APPLE YOU LAZY SCUMBAGS I WANT AN ACTUALLY NEW VERSION

Lol just bought these yesterday. They are still consistently one of the best headphones even in 2024. The noise cancellation is in the top 3 if not the best, transparency is the best, mic is in the top 3, sound quality is great for someone who isn't a basshead. Controls are premium and comfort is good for me but this is really subjective. I personally don't feel the extra weight and like the premium materials. There are some design quirks for sure but when it comes to using them as wireless headphones, they are amazing and incredibly convenient. You can definitely get better sounding wireless headphones for less price but its the overall package I'm looking at, not just the sound. I own both Airpods Max and Pro 2. The features coming from H2 chip (adaptive mode, conversation awareness, etc) I don't use them and find them gimmicks. My biggest complain with Airpods Pro with H1 was the noise cancellation wasn't that great and the sound was mid at best. These, despite having the same chip, don't suffer from that. So I'm happy even though its H1. Again, it's the overall package. My only complain with this is that they are wayyyyyyy overpriced (they should be 450$) and that there is no way to use them with my PS5 unless I buy a 40$ cable from Apple (so typical).

[@DigitalSlang]

So overpriced but if you enjoy them..then enjoy

@@DigitalSlang Thanks

[@taramarsan]

$600?! Crazy!

Just the transparency mode and the ability to use 2 headphones on my apple tv makes it worth it. Useless video

Useless comment..not everyone is a sheep.. 🐑🐑

“Do not buy these f***** headphones” should be the video title 🤣

😂😂

[@RobVanDam1591]

Definitely well said. Coming from an android user.

[@DigitalSlang]

Appreciate it

[@MrPyroblastic]

This guy is simply delusional 😂. Who is he speaking with ? People who lives in cardboard boxes on the street of New York ? Even some of those got those headphones. We’ve got money. 😂 Seriously AirPods Max check so many boxes … sound , design, comfort, easy to use …. simply by choosing something else will make you “uncheck” more than one box 😢

[@DigitalSlang]

@@MrPyroblastic lmao your delusional..who gives a crap how much money you have. No one cares. Bottom line..these are not worth it.

[@sam_yyz]

You said multiple times that there are better headphones for hundreds less but didn't name a single one. Maybe try to give some more useful information instead of just complaining. Cheers.

[@DigitalSlang]

@@sam_yyz lol sure thing buddy

[@sam_yyz]

No but seriously do you not have any recommendations?

[@DigitalSlang]

@@sam_yyz Sony XM5, Sennheiser momentum 4s.. and the new Bose headphones are half the price and easily as good or better

[@DigitalSlang]

@@sam_yyz check out my Video on used tech..the airpod max original version used is a great deal for around 250-300. Best buy literally just had them for 299. That's worth the price but 550 is just robbery

[@sam_yyz]

@@DigitalSlangXM5 and QC Ultra aren’t half the price. At least not here in Canada. The new AirPods Max are $650 CAD at Costco. Bose QC Ultra are $550, XM5 is $440 on sale. So yeah cheaper but not half the price. I don’t buy used wearables (just my choice, not knocking the idea). Listen I get your point but from a content perspective this video comes across as you just being mad about the price and saying the same things over and over. I appreciate you wanting to look out for consumers but this is the first video of yours that ever came up on my KZbin feed and I gave you my honest reaction. Take it for what it’s worth, even if that means you don’t give a crap what I think. Wishing you luck with the channel.
