The AirPods Max are lovely — but they also cost about the same as a US battleship from 1943. They’re made out of the same stuff as well and weigh a similar amount when they’re on your noggin — all things that for some are just a little too much to handle.
It’s that price that puts most people off, however, so finding a pair of decent noise-canceling overhead cans has become a sort of audio challenge. There are loads out there, and we’ve reviewed some of the best wireless headphones to find out how good they are — but now there’s a new player in the game. Or at least an old player with a new controller.
