You can’t turn the AirPods Max off. You can only turn them to low power mode, either by setting them down for five minutes or by returning them to the case.

Apple’s noise-canceling is once again excellent, with HVAC and keyboard noises disappearing instantly. I’m not shocked, given that senior writer Adrienne So claims her toddlers routinely scare the crap out of her when she’s using the AirPods Pro.

Speaking of, the AirPods Max have 20 hours of battery life. That's good, but it's 10 hours less than what you get from high-end headphones

It’s really the sound quality itself that takes the AirPods Max to the level above their competition. Put simply, these are the best-sounding wireless headphones I’ve ever heard, and by a significant margin.

The AirPods Max, like any $550 accessory, are obviously not for everyone. But product is good

Another excellent feature that sets the AirPods Max apart is spatial audio that's actually usable. Highly recommended to buy
