If you're an Apple fan, you're probably considering the Beats Studio Pro or Apple AirPods Max. But given the big price gap, which ones are the best?
In many ways, the Beats Studio Pro and Apple AirPods Max couldn't be more different. They're not in the same league in terms of price, and while the Beats use a design that is little changed from the wireless headphones the company was making a decade ago, the AirPods — with their aluminum-clad earcups and unique mesh headband — look like nothing else on the market.
The AirPods Max have been roundly criticized for their included case, which is little more than a cover for the earcups. The Studio Pro, meanwhile, fold up and can be stored in a full-zip soft pouch that also has room for accessories.

You get play/pause, track skip forward/back, volume up/down, ANC/transparency, and call answer/end.
Section winner: Apple AirPods Max Apple AirPods Max More Call quality You might think that the AirPods Max, with their eight microphones would be better at blocking background sounds while on calls, but this hasn't proven to be the case. Section winner: Tie Beats Studio Pro More Apple AirPods Max More ANC and Transparency Active noise cancellation and transparency are both very good on these two headphones, so no matter which one you pick, you'll be able to block the sounds that bother you and let in the ones you care about.
But the Studio Pro have an advantage that might make a difference for some listeners. With their included USB-C cable, you can pipe lossless, hi-res digital audio directly into the headphones, where the onboard digital-to-analog converter will decode the audio in up to 24-bit/48kHz. Plus, there's a dedicated analog input for use with non-digital audio sources.
Nonetheless, for anyone concerned about maximizing their time between charging sessions, the Studio Pro are the clear winners.
