The Apple AirPods Max is the highest-end choice in Apple’s headphone lineup due to their size and durability. These comfortable headphones possess a canopy-like headband and collapsing arms, making them easy to transport from the office to wherever is next with the included Apple carrying case.

On the new iOS 16, these headphones will have spatial audio capabilities, allowing for a scan of a user's ear geometry to offer a more well-rounded listening experience. The mesh textile knitted fabric provides a soft grip on a user's ears, and the Digital Crown knob on the side of the headphones supports easy volume changing controls.

Apple’s “Hey Siri” voice assistant feature allows users to access anything they need easily on the internet without removing their listening device. AirPods Max users can now answer emails, make a conference call, or be present in a meeting room without touching their phone, all by saying “Hey Siri.”

Finally, Apple has also equipped their headphones with their brand-new active noise cancellation (ANC) technology. This feature comes with an external microphone that can pick up sound around the user, making it easier than ever to be able to focus on different things in the office space. If a coworker is approaching you, the AirPods Max will automatically dial down the sound for you.

Created for the music industry using recording studio-grade equipment, the Shure AONIC 50 headphones provide studio-level quality with a long-lasting battery life.

Environment Mode allows users to toggle between noise cancellation and listening to the outside world. Whether it be sitting at a desk doing work or at an in-person meeting, Shure AONIC 50 users can hear everything around them using this capability. The wire-connection source comes in handy, too, making the headphones still functional if the battery is dead.
