Our Verdict

Bose 700 Headphones Wireless

Apple AirPods Max

The Bose 700 Headphones Wireless and the Apple AirPods Max are both premium headphones. While both over-ears have a similarly bass-heavy sound profile, powerful ANC systems, and great build quality, the Bose are more comfortable and have a better-performing integrated mic. You can also control their ANC via their companion app and pair them with up to two devices at a time. However, the Apple headphones have a virtual soundstage feature called Spatial Audio to help make your audio seem more dimensional, and their ANC system blocks out a bit more sound.
