They don't have an IP rating for dust or water resistance, as Apple hasn't had them IP-evaluated. Some reports suggest that this is due to the metal ear cup design, which can trap heat from your ears, and create condensation. It can occur even if you're wearing them at your desk or if you live in a dry climate. There have been reports from users about condensation forming on and inside the drivers after wearing them for a few hours. That said, the ear cushions are held in place by magnets, so you can easily replace them if they get damaged. The mesh screen surrounding the headband feels very fragile as it can rip or become damaged, especially if you're using the headband as a handle when carrying the headphones around.
However, these materials have different pros and cons than traditional plastic builds. Compared to other premium headphones like the Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 or the Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless, which are both made from hard plastic, the Apple are made with premium materials and have an aluminum exterior with a metal and silicone headband. The Apple AirPods Max's build quality is great. We've also updated the Test Settings and App Support test boxes. We've raised the score of the Build Quality test. We've also added Breathability, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X Compatibility. We've retested Sound Profile and Battery using firmware update 3C39. Tested cabin pressure when the ANC is on. We've changed the results of the 'Wired' test to better reflect the headphones' support for this cable. We've retested the headphones for passive playback with the lightning to 1/8" TRRS cable, which isn't included in the box. Updated 'Virtual Soundstage' to better reflect Spatial Audio's capabilities. We have retested Noise Isolation using firmware update 4E71. We're currently looking into our Noise Isolation results and have updated the text with our current findings.
However, we're still looking into our Noise Isolation results and will update our review again with our findings. We measured a similar performance to our previous results and the scoring of this test hasn't changed. Users have requested us to retest the ANC's Noise Isolation using FW 5B58. We have also added more information regarding this cable to our Wired test. We have retested the frequency response of these headphones using the Lightning to AUX cable and have updated Sound Profile.
We've made minor changes to this review's text to ensure accuracy and clarity.
