In a corner, the metallic brightness and the promise of total integration. In the other, the very discreet portability and obsession with cancellation and autonomy. Airpods Max and Sony Wh1000XM6 They go up to the quadrilateral with very different arguments To conquer the user. The question is direct: do you prefer the path of Design and Apple’s ecosystem or the customization and control that Sony offers?
Among the versus everything works by rounds: they face face to face and each section adds or subtracts until only one winner remains. In this ring andA have passed the iPhone 17, Garmin, Huawei and Amazfit clocks, And even Amazon’s best selling fryers.

The rounds that decide this versus
The first thing that makes our partner clear is that the design does not count on the scoreboard: “Design is very subjective Some are going to like that of the Airpods and other Sony. ”That said, Oliver enters the materials and portability.“ Inevitably the Airpods Max take this section ”


Samuel Oliver does not go with Rodeos when talking about the sound and highlights the high sound quality that the Apple device offers from the first moment. But not everything is said. From there, the comparison focuses on how the experience changes in the face of Sony’s warmer and customizable proposal, a contrast that deserves to be heard in the video.
The Noise cancellation It is one of the key sections in this comparison. Sony has been polishing generation after generation its algorithm and microphone management, while Apple bets on huge earmuffs that help achieve remarkable isolation. In the midst of that technical and design battle, a track falls into the video: “But here the balance bows when we test the global suppression and adaptation it has to all kinds of noise.”


In functionality, Apple and Sony move in very different worlds. The Max Airpods stand out for their immediate integration into the brand’s ecosystem, with automatic pairing and very careful physical controls. Sony, on the other hand, is committed to maximum customization through its application, with equalizer, cancellation modes and multipoint connection.
The autonomy test is what ends up tilting the balance in this comparison. Our partner tells in the video how each proposal translates on a day -to -day basis, with fast charges and surprises in prolonged use. What does not change is his warning: “There is nothing worse, but nothing worse than getting out of home, also in a hurry, put on the helmets, whatever they are and have no battery.”
After measuring sound, cancellation or autonomy, there is a land that is usually decisive: the price. It is not the same to bet on a premium design than to look for the most versatile and easy to find option. Samuel Oliver talks about the winner and explains that “it is a very difficult proposal to ignore, especially if we compare its price.”
