Score breakdown
Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.
Pros
- Very strong ANC, a bit better than the first Max
- Sound close to the much-liked original
- Voice Isolation mode handles calls well
- Lossless listening over USB-C
- Smooth, balanced, easy listening
- Tighter punch and timing than gen one
- Superb metal build
Cons
- Heavy with a firm clamp
- Battery about 21 h, well behind rivals
- Default mic mode lets noise through
- AAC/SBC only, no EQ; still no power button or IP rating
- Live Translation lags
- Same 20 h battery and flimsy case
- 386 g gets tiring; doesn't fold

Mainly for people deep in Apple's world; USB-C Max owners needn't upgrade. Tested a US unit.

Luxurious and smooth, but only a small step on and beaten by Sony and Sennheiser for detail and practicality.

The best noise-cancelling over-ears for iPhone owners, if you can live with the battery and case.
