Apple’s first over-ear headphones created quite a storm when they launched just over four years ago. They demanded a hefty fee – considerably more than what Sony, Bose and Sennheiser's flagship pairs cost at the time – but as you can read in our Apple AirPods Max review, our reviews team felt the higher fee was justifiable considering the step-up sound, noise-cancelling and design they offered. In fact, we went as far as to say “they cross the line from wireless audio into wireless hi-fi”. High praise indeed.
So, if you’re an Apple iPhone or iPad user and have decided to take the plunge on a pair of these premium noise-cancelling headphones, first, congratulations on your new purchase; and second, welcome to our comprehensive AirPods Max guide.
