AirPods Max 2 Tops Consumer Reports’ Audio Quality Scores in Wireless NC Headphones

Consumer Reports crowned Apple's AirPods Max 2 as the top-sounding wireless, noise-canceling headphones, giving it a perfect sound-quality score and tying for the best overall score thanks to the new H2 chip’s improvements in bass, vocal clarity, and soundstage, plus Adaptive Audio for ANC and a Loud Sound Reduction feature.
