![]() Instead of repeatedly (and loudly) pressing buttons as on the Studio Pro, you simply spin the digital crown clockwise or counter-clockwise, which gently increases or decreases the volume. But it's the volume control that really stands out. The rectangular button on the front switches ANC/transparency modes, and the digital crown, which was borrowed from the Apple Watch, does everything else. The AirPods Max, on the other hand, use just two controls on the top of the right earcup for everything. While quite precise and easy to use, each of these buttons produces a fairly loud clicking sound inside the headphones. The weird one is ANC/transparency, which requires a double-press of the tiny power button located on the bottom of the right earcup. The big "b" on the left earcup takes care of play/pause, track skipping, and calling options, while hidden buttons above and below that Beats logo handle volume changes. ![]() The Studio Pro use a series of button presses. The difference is in how these commands are executed. You get play/pause, track skip forward/back, volume up/down, ANC/transparency, and call answer/end. Unlike some wireless headphones that are festooned with advanced options, both the Studio Pro and AirPods Max keep things simple. These two headphones are so different from one another that we're going to punt and call this one a tie. Apple clearly likes to let its design speak for itself. Still, it's impossible not to award the AirPods Max major points for its use of aluminum, its incredible spring-loaded earcup pivot system, and its wholly unique mesh headband.īeats, as always, puts a heavy emphasis on the Beats brand - albeit less so on the Studio Pro than on previous Beats models - while Apple has gone full stealth mode on the AirPods Max, with zero visible Apple branding. The Studio Pro, meanwhile, fold up and can be stored in a full-zip soft pouch that also has room for accessories. ![]() The AirPods Max have been roundly criticized for their included case, which is little more than a cover for the earcups. Each also offers a choice of colors: Sandstone, Deep Brown, Navy, and Matte Black for the Beats, and Space Gray, Pink, Green, Sky Blue, and Silver for the AirPods Max. Both the Studio Pro and the AirPods Max feature sleek lines, cleverly integrated headbands, and unique looks. Beats and Apple are known for their iconic designs, and it's easy to see why. ![]()
