I’ve watched a number of AirPods Max reviews, picked a few that clicked for me. I appreciate that, for the most part, these revel in the things the AirPods Max do well, and point out the issues (like weight, or the case design) that are worth knowing before you buy in.

I’ll start with MKBHD and his turn-of-phrase “Luxury Listening”. I think this phrase does a solid job capturing the essence of the AirPods Max experience. If fit and finish don’t matter to you, you’re not going to see the value in the AirPods Max. These are true luxury goods.

Next up is Dave Lee and his down-to-Earth, pragmatic analysis. Very personal, not necessarily scientific, but very well explained.

And last but not least is Flossy Carter (expletives, if you care about such things). This review is, to me, the most entertaining of the lot. Flossy made me want to buy them almost from the very start of the video. You’ve been warned.

Enjoy!
