Apple AirPods Max 2 vs Beats 360

The Apple AirPods Max 2 and Beats 360 are both premium over-ears with strong ties to Apple's ecosystem, but they cater to different priorities. The Apple have more effective noise isolation, a more consistent sound across different fits, and additional Apple ecosystem features like Live Translation. They also support wired USB-C playback, which the Beats lack entirely. On the other hand, the Beats are considerably lighter and offer roughly twice the continuous battery life. Their microphone also handles noisy environments much better, especially compared to the Apple's performance with non-Apple devices. But perhaps most importantly, the Beats' IPX4 splash resistance gives them an edge for use in the gym.
