It’s the perfect day. After a long, invigorating hike with your partner, you find yourself high up on a seaside trail, overlooking a beautiful vista. There are flowers and balloons. As you turn to take in the view, your lover gets down on one knee. You turn around, gasp, and before you can speak, he flips open a small case, and says:
“Will you make me the happiest man in the world and enjoy bestselling, high-quality wireless headphones for reasonable prices with me?”
Yes, yes, 1,000 times yes!

The idea is to give the user a theater-like experience so you can feel like you’re in your very own concert hall.
You can also enjoy active noise cancelling, transparency mode and adaptive EQ, which means the headphones will effectively tailor the sound coming out of them based on the shape of your ear.
The AirPods Max give up to 20 hours of listening time on a single charge (it only takes 5 minutes of charging to get around 1.5 hours of audio!) and they’re available in five different colors.
