Publicado em por
  • Apple headphones, like the AirPods Max, are popular despite their high price tag.
  • The AirPods Max scored top marks for their premium design, impressive audio quality, and excellent noise-canceling tech.
  • For those who want AirPods Max alternatives, price be damned, check out our list of the best high-end Bluetooth headphones and earbuds.

As you’d expect from a pair of Apple headphones, the AirPods Max are designed to work seamlessly with iPhones and iPads, with exclusive features like spatial audio and hands-free Siri. The AirPods Max list for $549 at Apple, and even though you can often find them on sale for less (currently $480 at Amazon), not everyone wants to drop nearly $500 on a pair of headphones. Which is why we’ve rounded up some of the best AirPods Max alternatives that you can snag for hundreds less. Below are my current top picks, all of which I’ve fully reviewed or had hands-on experience with over several weeks.

When you have a product that a lot of people love, change can be risky. Such is the case for Sony’s WH-1000XM5, the fifth generation of the 1000X series headphones, which were first released in 2016 as the MDR-1000X Wireless and have become increasingly popular as they’ve improved with each generation.

Sennheiser’s previous-generation Momentum Wireless headphones have always had a pretty distinct look that was part retro/part modern and stood out for the exposed metal on the headband. For better or worse, that’s all gone now, and the new Momentum 4 Wireless, Sennheiser’s flagship noise-canceling headphones, look a bit more subdued and also a bit more like some competitors.

Available in three color options (gray, blue, and black), Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 headphones offer some significant improvements over the first-generation version. Not only are these headphones more comfortable — they tip the scales at 307 grams — but they also sound better and have better noise-canceling and voice-calling performance with improved noise reduction.

Sony’s improved entry-level noise-canceling headphones, the CH-720Ns, have a bit of a plastic-y budget vibe, but they’re lightweight and very comfortable. Part of me was expecting them to sound pretty mediocre, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The QuietComfort 45 has virtually the same design as its predecessor, the QuietComfort QC35 II, which many people considered one of the most comfortable over-ear headphones — if not the most comfortable. It has the same drivers, according to Bose, and the buttons are in the same place. However, there are small but notable changes.

The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are powered by Apple’s H2 chip, which delivers more processing power while being more energy-efficient, according to Apple.

Bose’s second-generation QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are not only about 30% smaller than their predecessors, but their case is about 40% smaller and truly pocketable.

If you can’t afford Sony’s WH-1000XM5 or Bose QC45, the Soundcore by Anker Space Q45 is a good alternative for $150, and we occasionally see discounts pop up (currently $10 off with an instant coupon at Amazon).

While it may not fit some smaller heads, it’s comfortable to wear, with nicely padded ear cups and a dual-hinge folding design. Sound quality is very good, and the headphones offer better noise canceling than the step-down Q35, as well as multipoint Bluetooth pairing (these are equipped with Bluetooth 5.3) and support for the LDAC audio codec for streaming high-resolution music tracks over Bluetooth, if you have a device that supports LDAC. Many Android phones do, although Samsung’s Galaxy phones don’t.
