Now start with the mighty Apple product AirPods Max.
Apple AirPods Max

Because Apple delivers more detailed sound than the other headphones you get in the market. It has a top-notch adaptive noise canceling ability. That makes the music better for listeners. It also performed well during the Call test.
The one drawback that I figure out is that it is quite heavy. But being heavy, it is not uncomfortable, rather it surprises me with its comfortability.

- Surprisingly good build quality.
- Transparency mode is awesome.
- Noise canceling is top-notch.
- Multiple Apple devices using iCloud.
- Good performance in Calls.
- Surprisingly comfortable to use though it’s quite heavy.
Unlike

- Leaking sound is definitely noticeable. People around the users may hear sounds from outside.
- 20 hours battery life. That means you have to charge it daily if you are a regular user.
If you are an Apple enthusiast and you don’t have any issue with money then I personally suggest this Apple AirPods Max for it’s enormous build and sound quality.It’s top notch sound quality with noise cancelation will surely give you a magical ride to the world of music.
JBL CLUB ONE Wireless
JBL CLUB ONE Wireless is one the best over-ear headphones in recent years. JBL produced a wonderful machine that serves an amazing sound quality among users. Moreover it is affordable too.
A sophisticated building quality with outstanding features made it one of the top JBL products among this price range.
If I talk about the build quality,JBL gives an astonishing look with a metal and plastic combination. I personally like its travel friendly design, you can’t refuse to carry it with you on a flight because of its foldable design,flight adapter.
It makes the headphone more durable outside and 45 hours battery life and active noise canceling features makes it awesome.
Okay so many good things, so you may think that it doesn’t have any drawbacks? No, it has some. The main problem with this headphone is it’s noise canceling system. I mean it is average.
Like
- A comfortable headphone to use.
- Stable use is another good side.
- Long durable battery life. It stands for 45 hours and if you continuously use it then it stands for 25 hours.
- Special features like ambient aware, silent now are amazing.
- Wired with AUX cable.
- This headphone runs awesome if you use it with wire during gaming.
Unlike
- The main drawback of this JBL headphone is its ANC (active noise canceling). The ANC is very much average in that you could hear passive sounds with the headphone on your ears.
- This does not support wireless gaming. A very poor decision for the current world.
If you are a music lover and want to make music then This JBL headphone is made for you. But if you need the best ANC then you should go for an alternative option.
Bose QuietComfort 45

Bose QuietComfort 45 is a well-known name to headphone users. It is the look-alike successor of Bose QuietComfort 35. But Bose has improved many features, especially the Conversion of the type C port from micro USB.
Bose has not brought any changes to design because the design of the Bose QuietComfort series is popular among the users.
Bose also worked with the sound reduction system during calls and also added a feature for multiple devices that means you can switch devices with one bluetooth connection.
Like
- It has the best active noise cancellation system .

- You can connect with two or multiple devices at the same time.
Unlike

My verdict on this headphone: Bose QuietComfort 45 is one of the best active noise canceling occupied headphones with a better build and sound quality.
Anker Soundcore Life Q30

Anker Soundcore Life Q30 is the best budget friendly headphone ever. It gives the same features as Sony and Bose headphones but at a very low price.
Anker is known to do it. The previous version of this headphone also held some extraordinary features and the legacy continues.

Besides a quality ANC experience it also delivers foremost quality music with thumping bass and crisp treble. You can hear every detail of your favorite song and it can be continued for a long time. Because the battery life of this headphone is the best among all. It stands for almost 40 hours!!

is pretty budget friendly.
If we talk about the design of this headphone, SOny made it pretty basic, the ear cups are smaller than others. It is made up with plastic that makes it very lightweight.
It has a very dark bass and treble, heavy music lovers will find it very attractive. But because of not having a EQ system so you can’t control the music yourself.
