The case protects the ear cups, but keeps the headband exposed. Apple always strives to be different, and they certainly hit the mark on making a case unlike all others. The Apple Airpods Max comes with a travel case that’s uniquely designed, and differs from typical headset cases. The $549.00 price places it among the most expensive headsets out there, and for that price, most people would expect to get all the latest features, including wired, and wireless use. To me, I see this as a competitive disadvantage of the Airpods Max. As modern day headsets go, this is a fundamental shortcoming for a headset that's considered to be a premium model. Unfortunately, the Apple Airpods Max can’t be used when the battery is being recharged. This gives you more flexibility because you aren’t without the use of your headset when it’s plugged in for a recharge. Today, more and more headset brands are providing a feature where the wireless headset can be used even when plugged in for a battery recharge. In spite of the fact that 20 hours of battery life is acceptable, one could question whether or not it’s acceptable given the rich price tag that comes with the Airpods Max. As you can see, the Apple Airpods Max doesn’t provide nearly as much battery life as many of its competitors. For example, the Orosound Tilde Pro gives you 28 hours, the Jabra Evolve2 85, 37 hours, and the Yealink BH72 provides up to 40 hours of battery life. For most people, 20 hours should be an adequate amount of time for listening to music, watching videos or spending time on conversations.įor an expensive, premium branded headset, like the Airpods Max, 20 hours is on the low side of available battery life though. The Apple Airpods Max gives you 20 hours of listening time. And if you need a headset for long term wearing, weight is something to keep in mind. Headset weight is a detail, and details matter. However, if you want to wear the Airpods Max all day long for example, these will not be your best headset choice. Having said that, are they uncomfortable? For short periods of time I’d say not. Yes, there is a difference, and yes, the Apple Airpods Max are heavy. What can we compare these weights to?ġ3.6 ounces is about the same weight as a can of soupĩ.2 ounces is about the same weight as 5 Pop-Tarts. To help give you an idea how 13.6 ounces compares to other headsets in the industry, here’s how it compares to the French made Orosound Tilde Pro. Apple is the King of the hill in that regard here at Headset Advisor, though that’s probably not the kind of achievement most manufacturers shoot for. In fact, at 13.6 ounces, this is the heaviest headset we’ve ever tested. So what’s the difference between version 5.0 and 5.3? Here’s an article written by Subhan Zafar of ITechtics that helps to break this down. Headsets are now coming out with Bluetooth version 5.3. Though The Airpods Max uses Bluetooth version 5.0, which was released in 2016, it isn’t the latest version of Bluetooth though it is among the newest. Let’s check out these headphones from Apple, to learn more about them, and see how it sounds.
