Apple - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished AirPods Max - Sky Blue

If you indulge into music as much as I do (would say up to 15 hours a day) and love to tune out distractions around you, you should buy these!!! They are super lightweight, last the whole day when fully charged.

Absolutely love the sound quality I was concerned about the weight when using long term but haven’t been a problem and find them very comfortable

This should be an amazing product but the set that I was shipped was not actually refurbished by Geek Squad as advertised. I was surprised when the box was sticky, dirty, and has masking tape in it. When unboxed I noticed that the lightning cable was missing. The condition of the headphones seemed decent (only two very small scratches) at first glance. When I went to pair it to my phone it showed that they were still paired to the previous owner’s Apple ID!!! Not only that, but their name was etched into the headphones. Shocking and certainly not the kind of quality control that I would expect from a device that was certified to be refurbished by Geek Squad.

Have these for abour a year now and I have to say these are the absolute best headphones for people who are part of the Apple ecosystem and have plenty of money to spend. After using these nearly every day while working and traveling I figured my experiences would help other people. Comfort 10/10 I have a big head and these are the only large headphones in this price range that I can wear for hours on end. The noise cancellation is good, it doesn’t feel like my head is so compressed it’s going to explode the way that some others do. The headphone cups are insanely plush, and far more comfortable than anything else I’ve work from Sony or Bose. Comfort and build quality are the highlights of the AirPods Max. Sound Quality 8/10 Atmos support out of the box is amazing, and now that Apple Music supports Atmos that is truly the killer feature, but not all mixes are equal. Poor Atmos mixing for tracks has led me to turn off Atmos, which requires going into settings, this needs to be easier. Additionally fully lossless audio is not available wirelessly, you must use the $30 apple lightning to 3.5mm. Value 6/10 At $550 these headphones should include everything you need. The case is cheap and marrs quickly, and it doesn’t protect the most fragile part of the headphone which is that headband. The mesh is durable but VERY thin, I don’t want it potentially coming in contact with other things I keep in my messenger bag like pens. I ended up buying a full case but that should have been included in the first place. Also replacement ear cups are $70, very steep, though the competition doesn’t offer any replacement. Again Apple does not include the 3.5mm to lighting cable, which is required to plug it in to… well anything else. Obviously I’ve kept these for a year and I love them for me, those omissions are annoying but you can regularly catch these for $100 off now. If you don’t need or want to plug in, and you don’t ever plan on letting your Maxs leave the house (a shame as they’re the best cans for flights in terms of comfort) then you’re set, otherwise you really need to buy a decent case (around $40-$60). These are excellent headphones for a very specific group of people, you have to own at least one Apple product, but you’ll get the most out of them when you you’re at least partially invested in the ecosystem. For all Android owners with no Apple products, don’t waste your time, there are better options at better price points, all the cool Apple stuff like Atmos doesn’t transfer over.

Bought these fir a family member abd they love them. The carrying case isnt their favorite feature but works well. Spatial audio sounds amazing. Noise cancellation is probably the best out there right now.

I'm very deep into the Apple ecosystem and have been accused of being a fanboy. But after a few months, these just don't excite me, and I'm more and more disappointed and frustrated. I previously had a pair of Bose QC 35 because I travel a lot. The AirPod Max wasn't designed for travel. The case is terrible and not very compact. I bought lighting to 3.5mm cable to connect them to my work PC and for in-flight entertainment but can't seem to get them to connect on a hard wire connection (or a Bluetooth connection for my PC.) The sound quality is great, and they are comfortable. But are slightly heavy, but built well. As long as I'm using an Apple product, they're fine. But overall, I wish I had just stuck with Bose.

Refurbished but still good as new. Sound quality is on par with song. Very comfortable on the head and ears.

Headphones sound great but arrived with stains on the headset.
