I use the Airpods Max for viewing YouTubes on my iPad when my better half watches content on the big screen. The noise cancellation is actually quite impressive. However they are not that comfortable for big heads (they barely fit) and in that regard are bested by the much heavier Audeze cans.

IMHO When it comes to “audiophile” listening, for the price, the Airpods Max fail miserably.
They sound dead overall, muffled in the midrange, and no energy in the treble.

For my use case they are effective. Unfortunately their fancy looks don’t translate in to a comfortable wear.

As always…YMMV
You should hear how the new thin iMac sounds. Great looking computer which is very thin and stylish but virtually unlistenable with the built in speakers IMHO. I am sure the Airpods sound much better and would be a welcomed item. Perhaps that was intentional from Apple?
