Read more Apple AirPods (2019) review The best Beats headphonesĪpple headphones aren't just limited to AirPods - Beats headphones are worth checking out, as well. The AirPods (2019) also come with an optional wireless charging case means you can use a Qi-compatible charging mat to power the case, rather than sticking a cable into the Lightning charging port in the bottom of the case. They've also been given a permanent price cut, making them the cheapest AirPods you can buy.Ī lively soundstage and the inclusion of Apple's H1 headphone chip means that the AirPods 2 work really well as a pair of earbuds for casual music listening or making phone calls - just don't expect audiophile sound. The second generation Apple AirPods may have been usurped by the AirPods 3, but they still sport some cool features that may make them worth buying if you're an iPhone user in particular. Wireless charging case costs extra -Audio hasn't improved since originals Instead, the Smart Case leaves the headband of the AirPods Max totally exposed. They also come with a case that preserves the battery while the headphones are in use. In our review, we didn't think the performance (although great) matched the sky-high price, and we can understand why many would prefer to shop for budget headphones instead. Apple has always created luxury tech with a higher-than-average price tag, but these are $549 / £549 / AU$899. We particularly liked the reprisal of the Apple Watch's Digital Crown, which allows you to precisely adjust the volume and easily control your music playback. What's more, they have brilliant quality of life features for those already devoted to the Apple ecosystem.īut it isn't all good news. We also appreciate the use of physical controls as opposed to the voguish swipe controls that most wireless headphones seem to favor these days. The design and build was also solid and unmistakably Apple and they were comfortable too.
When we finally got our hands on the AirPod Max we found that, as you might expect, the audio quality was nothing short of extraordinary.
So do they live up to the hype? Well, yes and no. Rumors and speculation about what they'll look like and sound like have been swirling for years. The Apple AirPods Max were some of the most highly-anticipated headphones ever. Very expensive compared to rivals -No 3.5mm audio port -Limited features for Android -Ineffective carrying case
