In just a matter of a few hours after receiving the AirPods Max, several reviews of Apple's premier over-ear headphones appeared online. Many of those who posted reviews of the headphones spent more than an hour getting to know the new accessory for them to formulate a good impression. Some of these early reviews talked about its functionality, design, and many more.
According to one review, Apple's second-to-none build quality tradition continues with the AirPods Max. The reviewer said that no other headphones created by other big players in the market come close to Apple's premier over-ear headphones. He said that while Bowers & Wilkins, Bose, and Sony all produce great sound and have impressive noise cancelation technology, they are all largely made of plastic material and you will immediately notice the quality discrepancy when you hold the headphones.
The reviewer said that when you hold the AirPods Max, you would immediately feel that it is a premium product, as compared to other headphones in the market right now. Although there are also companies that use metal in crafting their headphones, such as those made by Master & Dynamic, Apple's premier over-ear headphones look and feel more polished up to the smallest details.
In another review of the AirPods Max, the reviewer praised the inclusion of the Digital Crown in Apple's premier over-ear headphones. The feature itself is not new as many Apple Watch models have them, though the one on the AirPods Max is bigger to compensate for the form factor of the headphones. The reviewer noted that the Digital Crown has a great tactile feel, though it does not have the haptic feedback like those on Apple Watches.
The Digital Crown on the AirPods Max allows users to adjust the volume and control playback, as well as summon Siri. According to this reviewer, he tried listening to music using Apple's premier over-ear headphones and was more than satisfied with its output. He said that the headphones had marvelous sound cancellation technology and that it did not produce any distortions even when the volume is in maximum position. The reviewer also noted the incredible comfort he felt while wearing the headphone. Other reviews are starting to appear online and if you want to know more about the AirPods Max, you might want to check out the new reviews.
