Apple AirPods Max - Blue (Renewed)

The headphones arrived in absolutely perfect condition — literally like brand new. Everything works flawlessly, and the original cable was included as well. The sound quality, build quality, and overall experience are just amazing. I’m extremely happy with this purchase, especially for such a great price. Huge thanks to the seller! Definitely recommend to everyone considering buying AirPods Max. 5 stars without any doubts ❤️

These are truly premium over-ear headphones. The sound quality is outstanding, offering a rich, detailed, and immersive listening experience. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is incredibly effective, making it perfect for blocking out distractions on a commute or in a busy office. The Transparency Mode is also fantastic for staying aware of your surroundings without removing the headphones. They feel substantial and well-built, and the mesh canopy is surprisingly comfortable for long periods. Setup with other Apple devices is instant and seamless. The main drawback? The price point and the Smart Case are a bit awkward and don't offer the best protection. Overall: If you're deep in the Apple ecosystem and prioritize top-tier audio and noise cancellation, the AirPods Max (especially renewed) are a great, luxurious choice.

I was really excited to buy these because as a college student I am always balling on a budget, but honestly these were not refurbished very nicely. The right ear does this static sound once you put them on, and you can continuously hear that throughout the time you are wearing them, with or without music. Based on my research, this could be due to build up condensation if someone tries to workout in them or it’s very humid outside. Kind of gross since that was my first unboxing experience, but I guess you get what you pay for. Also, there were several wear and tear marks on the side of the ears, and the top headband portion has some build up from the previous owner. The fit of the headphones were a bit big as the headband piece is not as stiff due to previous owner I believe. When I did initially connect them to my iPhone, it did show the previous owner’s name, and I was a bit worried because I do not know whether or not they were able to find these headphones on “ Find my iPhone” and have my location until I put under my account. So that could be a security and privacy issue for some. Overall, the quality was not up to par with other Apple products I have bought over the years, but again that is due to these being reused/refurbished. I am glad I was able to review this type of product, but I will definitely be returning and will most likely buy a new pair of AirPod Max’s at the Apple Store when I can save up another $100 or so.

First let me say I’ve been looking at the APM for months, but I’m a Sony fan. So, I’ve had my Sony WH-1000XM4 for about 2 years. 1st was a refurbished unit and so glad I got the insurance! Something went bad on the left side and it would get ringing feedback increasing in volume until unbearable. Had to send them back 3 times to Asurion who “fixed” them. They didn’t do jack. They did replace the ear pads on the first try with some crappy hard aftermarket ones. Replaced on the second try with the right pads but the feedback issues were still there. 3 times and you can request replacement or refund. I opted for refund and went to Best Buy and got a new pair and in the blue I wanted. They’re wonderful, I love them. Noise cancellation is excellent and after adjusting with their app they sound fantastic to me. But I was still wanting to check out the APM. Price is a bit crazy but I decided to order renewed and insurance again JIC. Now that I’ve had them about 4 days (I’m sorry Sony) I’m in love all over again! They sound absolutely amazing. The spatial audio really works well (Sony has a similar feature but it’s only supported by certain streaming services not including Apple). The soundstage opens up to something really fantastic sounding. Now reasons not to buy and why others may have returned theirs (thank you whoever sent mine back). THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, if you don’t have an Apple device to connect to any only android or a PC, DO NOT BUY THESE! You will be seriously disappointed. You won’t be able to EQ them at all unless you use a 3rd party app or your device has EQ built in. I was very disappointed when I first connected and listened so some music, they were not good. Flat sounding with hardly any bass or treble! Like WTF, this can’t be right. Googled some information and instructions on how to properly set up Apple AirPods and the Max. You have to go into settings and go through a hearing test procedure that tunes the EQ specifically to your own ears. Listening to tones very similar to going to an audiologist. The results after that were WOW, what a difference nice broad response, solid bass, not quite as good as Sony who allows EQ from their app and have a special bass enhancement system, but solid and good definition. The soundstage opened up also with any stereo material. Then when you turn on spatial audio it’s WOW again, Apple did a really good job of processing the music and not messing it up. It goes from just headphones to room phones, the sound is around you! You can opt to let the headphones track your head movements or not. If you turn the music stays where it was, but after a few seconds of you don’t turn back they recenter you again. I really held off a long time as the price on these is really extreme compared to what the competition are selling as “equivalents”. The build quality on the Apple really separates them from the pack. With steel headband and aluminum components they should be very durable. Sony and Bose are, well… just plastic. As to lack of folding ability, I really don’t care, 99% of my listening is at home. I use earbuds if I’m outside or working out. The holder is… interesting. Different than what I’m used to but seems to work just fine around the house. Now I’ll try to wrap up with a comment about other reviews complaining about no power cords or chargers…I DON’T CARE!! I HAVE TOO MANY NOW!! lol, really if you have Apple products around you’re going to have a lightning cable and charger somewhere! Then, noise cancellation reaction…can I say WOW again? Really, my Sony are good but these are significantly better. Things I can’t hear or barely heard around the house with Sony that I don’t hear with APM. The TV, my wife, fans, well almost anything! Sony works well but their around ear system still rest on my Dumbo sized ears! lol. The Apple are really around the ear with a little room! This helps with noise control and comfort. And finally, comfort…the Sony are very comfortable but the plastic cups get hot and sweaty after a few minutes. The Apple are much better in that respect. My only criticism I guess would be comfort though. The clamping force on my head is significant by I’m getting used to it. I know my ears are large enough but I don’t think my head is oversized! Not ridiculous but definitely more than Sony, but the do stay in place well. Summary If you have an iPhone or Apple devices to use these with and take the time to set them up properly you’ll be very happy. If you’re not using Apple, WALK AWAY NOW!! 1/17/24 3 months later and the refurbished Max went bad. Could not stay connected with Bluetooth so fortunately within the Amazon return window. Returned, credited and also reimbursed for the Asurion warranty. So, this was bad but I liked them a lot so I went out and picked up a brand new Pro Max. Not using the spatial sound much but the noise cancellation on the Max is awesome! Having foundation repairs done and staying in an upstairs bedroom with these on and I can hardly hear the industrial tools in use. These are far and away the best NC headphones I’ve owned. Still highly recommended but didn’t want to roll the dice on refurbished this time around!

I was a bit hesitant about buying a renewed AirPods Max, but I’m so glad I did. It looks and performs like brand new. No scratches, the battery life is solid, and the noise canceling is a lifesaver for studying in the library. Saved a lot of money compared to the new version. Highly recommend for students on a budget!

I'm glad I purchased these, I was really thinking of getting a pair of brand new APM's. Thankfully I found these, they are in the bestest shape but, not excellent I did see a couple scratches on them and the packaging got to get 10 times better they came in a brown box 📦 the headphones was in protective packaging with a regular charging cord and the delivery service UPS need to be more attentive with people's packages, my package was left outside I was not notified nor my doorbell was not ringed, anybody could have took it, but thank god that everything works-out 🙌🏾..... other than that, they smell amazing really soft material they are soooo pretty I can't wait to dress them up and the sound quality is great, nice and crisp, the noise cancellation is phenomenal I'm really happy with my purchase thank you 💕🥰🩷

These are the best headphones I've ever gotten. They are 100% worth all my money. I love that they're actually Apple AirPods Maxes! These are real and not fake at all. They fit my ears well and are comfortable for short periods of time. I definitely recommend a comfort headband for the top. That's the part that hurts the most for me when I use them for long periods of time. Other than that, they are easy to use and have the best sound quality I've ever listened to. (based on the other over-ear headphones I've tried). I highly recommend you get these if you're wanting a pair, but don't want to spend a ton of money buying them new.

Literally like new, missing the lightning cable but not a big deal. Price was right and the quality exceeded expectations. Saved a great deal of money and these perform as some of the best bluetooth headphones I've ever used. These make the AirPod Pro earbuds seem like a cheap novelty. I love the replaceable ear cups and the well designed hinges. No creaky cheap plastics like Sony headsets and better noise cancelling than Bose. 10/10 would purchase again, a lot of people are weary of refurb or open box but honestly Apple is the easiest to inspect and returns are easy if there is an issue or the item doesn't meet expectation. They get a little warm sometimes but no different than any other over-the-ear style. Mid range is a little weak at default settings. There are ways to customize the sound in the "Headphone Accommodations" settings, I disabled Spatial Audio and tuned audio for "Vocal Range" and left the boost settings to "Slight" these settings make these clear with a clean and brightish sound stage, perfect for anything from classical to deep house. I found Spatial Audio with the APMs to be too distracting, the speakers on these are good enough that you don't need that software feature enabled. Battery is great, easy to use and they fit incredibly well.

Ma fille adore !

Funcionan perfecto, a mi hija le encantan y la calidad del sonido y el bloqueo de ruido son excelentes.

Como nuevos!

Me encantó aunque las esponjas de los airuculares están algo gastadas Funcionan bien 👍🏼

Están en excelentes condiciones, nuevos, ningún detalle, llegan sin su caja original, pero muy bien empaquetados.
