Why did you pick this product vs others?: due to HFA and ANC Comfort: very bad Battery life: good Value for money: NO Design: pathetic Call quality: VERY POOR Bluetooth connectivity: AWESOME ENC and ANC is not up to the mark at this price range and does not filter any noise properly, mic picks up all ambient noise so it is completely useless for voice calls. Some many complaints by all that please remove the headphone and talk... ANC is not working as expected even I have a cheap headphone and ANC is working far better then this also very poor sound quality on calling, first 2-3 days it was good but then...huh... Build quality is good but not fulfilling the purpose as marketed. ear cushion is very law quality, too much sweat while use! I had issues with pairing so many times... ANC is hell so much noise while connecting to call, receiver felt and told... Its harder to handle mode without in app support and they already postponed launch date multiple times and still they cannot provide the in app support for the product at price range of 5000 doesn't makes sense. SOUND quality is TOP NOTCH, kudos to noise team but lots of area to improve, so I returned ... So please guys don't be fooled with marketing stunt of it. I generally don’t write the reviews but this time i felt to write.
The quality of headphones is good the sound quality is very good it have several modes like normal mode amd gaming mode. They were delivered with 100% battry. They are folding well. If you are looking for gaming, good looking, easy to carry headphones must purchase it.
Great product, Comfortable and good sound quality
This feels like much expensive headphone than it actually is
Sound is good. But actually balance the sound. Spatial sound does not actually feel like Spatial sound. No cinematic sound seems. ANC is good. ENC works ok. Overall product review is Ok
Great product, Comfortable and good sound quality
After using the Noise Airwave Max 5 for several days, I can confidently say this is one of the best value propositions in the ANC headphone market. At roughly 1/5th the price of the Bose QC45, you're getting a surprisingly capable set of cans that punch well above their weight class. (Incidentally, BOSE invested in NOISE, which prompted me to purchase this headset) Sound Quality: This is where the Airwave Max 5 truly shines. The sound quality matches the QC45 in almost every way that matters. Instrument separation is excellent, allowing you to pick out individual elements in complex tracks. The neutral sound signature is perfect for extended listening sessions without fatigue. Whether I'm listening to classical, rock, or electronic music, these headphones deliver a balanced, clear presentation that rivals headphones costing 5x more. Comfort: Here's where you feel the price difference. While the QC45 disappears on your head for 5+ hour sessions, the Airwave Max 5 starts feeling noticeable after about 90 minutes. The ear cushions lack the plush, cloud-like feeling of Bose's premium padding, creating more pressure points around the ears. For shorter listening sessions, this isn't a deal-breaker, but marathon listeners should take note. Battery Life: The claimed 80-hour battery life is impressive, and while I haven't fully depleted it to verify, I can confirm it significantly outlasts my QC45. I've gone days without charging during regular use, which is a huge convenience. Build Quality & Reliability: The Airwave Max 5 feels solidly built, but this is where the unknown factor comes in. My 2012 QC25 still works perfectly, and Bose's spare parts availability means I can keep them running indefinitely. Will the Airwave Max 5 last a decade? Will replacement ear pads be available in 5 years? Time will tell, but for budget-conscious buyers, this long-term uncertainty is worth considering. Microphone: The mic performs at about 70% of the QC45's capability - perfectly usable for calls and meetings. It's notably better than Sony's older XM3 (though Sony has since improved), handling background noise reasonably well. Verdict: At this price point, the Noise Airwave Max 5 is an easy recommendation for anyone wanting premium sound without the premium price tag. You're getting 70% of the Bose experience for 20% of the cost, which is an excellent value proposition. The main compromises are in comfort and unproven longevity, but if you can live with those limitations, these headphones offer remarkable bang for your buck. Perfect for: Budget-conscious audiophiles, students, or anyone wanting a capable second pair of ANC headphones. Skip if: You need all-day comfort or demand the peace of mind that comes with established brand reliability.

Noise cancellation is perfect. Nice audio for calls or to listen any music, movies etc
Ownership Duration: 7 Months (Issues began appearing at Month 4) Executive Summary While this product offers impressive sound quality and initial comfort, it suffers from significant build quality issues and a recurring software glitch. Below is a detailed breakdown of my experience over the last seven months. The Positives (Pros) Audio Fidelity: The sound quality is genuinely impressive ("awesome"). It provides a clear and enjoyable listening experience. Balanced Bass: The bass profile is neutral. It is not overpowering, which might disappoint "bass heads," but it is perfectly fine and balanced for the average user. Initial Comfort: The ear cushions are very soft and comfortable to wear for extended periods. The Negatives (Cons) Premature Wear and Tear: Despite the initial comfort, the build quality of the ear cushions is poor. The material started peeling off after just 4 months of use. Additionally, the foam shape has begun to deform significantly. Non-Replaceable Parts: A major design flaw is that the ear cushions are not replaceable. Once they peel or deform, you are stuck with damaged hardware, effectively ruining the headset's longevity. Technical & Software Issues I have encountered a specific and frustrating software glitch four times during my ownership: The "Frozen" State: The headphones occasionally get stuck in a "paired" state (indicated by a blinking light), yet they are not actually connected to the phone. Unresponsive Controls: When this happens, the device freezes completely. The power button and volume controls stop working, meaning you cannot turn the headphones off manually. The Workaround: The only way to fix this is to wait for the battery to drain completely or to plug the device into a charger. Plugging it in forces a "soft reset," allowing the headphones to restart and function normally again. Final Verdict Rating: 2/5 Stars Ideally, headphones should last longer than a few months. While the audio performance is great for the price, the peeling cushions, lack of repairability, and the recurring software freeze make it difficult to recommend this product for long-term use. Oh! I forgot to mention that the noisecancelletion is working fine I am writing this detail review because of this product is not worth a huge amount like 5000 wast of money Oh! I forgot to mention that the noisecancelletion is working fine.
Not as expected, not as written also ,hearing not that cool doesn't deserve the price too much for it really .give it 3 /5
Writing review after 3 weeks of use. I do not own any other headphones, so can't compare to others I primarily use it wired with laptop for work, also used wireless on Android phone and iPad wireless for tvshows, music and games. Its a long review but may tell you everything you need to know Fit and comfort : Headband has a thinner foam cover, did not cause discomfort but could have benefitted from a thicker or wider foam. Earcups have very nice foam. Soft and comfortable. However, will feel stuck to head after an hour and needs to be pulled to release the feel. Not too warm or sweaty. Can be worn with glasses , but they will get pinned to the head adjust for comfort after wearing the headphones. Clamping force is not bad, feels tight without squeezing head and feeling uncomfortable. It folds onto quite a small shape and can be easily put into a backpack with laptops, chargers and other daily stuff. A headphone case would have been nice, but there is none so we have to buy our own if its required Build quality: Plastic earcups and headband with metal insert for size adjustment sliders and the pivot hooks also feel like metal. They feel reliable in the short time I have used them. Don't feel the good kind of tightness but don't move around on their own. Connectivity : usbc for analog audio works well on laptop. Able to connect multiple devices phone and tablet on Bluetooth. The audio needs to be paused and played when switching devices, doesnt do it automatically. Usb A to C charging cable is long but doesn't support audio so can only use for charging. Controls : the buttons work well. Manual needs to be downloaded from Noise website, will tell you how it works. Instructions are not on the box. Volume up down, power and pairing, ambient, noise canceling and normal mode, adjustable noise cancelling, music and game mode can all be done on the headphones, all buttons are on the right earcup. Sound quality : Voice focused, good for calls on office meeting apps, phone. Sounds good with voice focused content like TV shows and movies, music is fine, doesnt sound harsh. Bass is personal opinion, it sounds slightly hollow and boomy to me but may sound fine to others. Games would not revommend, the hollow sound makes it difficult to understand what's happening in games like bgmi, codm, etc. Game mode makes no noticeable difference. Bluetooth or wired mode makes no noticeable difference in game sounds. Noise cancelling and ambient mode : Noise cancelling is good for blocking low frequency sounds. It blocks sounds of air conditioning and traffic quite well. Not so great with high frequencies like voices. Male voices will get reduced noticeably, female voices seem to come through more. Horns in traffic will come through and can be heard. Ambient mode seems to let in all sounds, so voices will be present but can be a little mixed up with other things when other sounds are present. Other points: there is no app, which can be a plus or minus. There is no option to change controls or equalise sound, which apps help with. But apps can also make a mess of existing positives through a bad update. App support would have been good to have but at least no option for the brand to make it worse with a bad update. Overall opinions : its worthwhile for the price. There are wireless headphones for lesser that will probably have lesser features or quality. And better features and quality will come at a high price. Based on my experience with earphones, I don't think the headphones in the 5000 - 10000 RS range will offer much better and the real good stuff may come at 20000 RS and above
This feels like much expensive headphone than it actually is
Not happy with noice cancel and ambient sound modes. Moderate sound quality Good battery life upto 80 hours Not worth the price of 70gbp. Great for 30gbp Good fit and comfy
ممتاز والله و الصوت و الجوده و البوز
Noise cancellation is perfect. Nice audio for calls or to listen any music, movies etc
This is most feature rich and high quality (both sound and physical) wireless headphone at this price point. I can connect this thing to practically anything with anyways due to the dual connection option (wired/wireless). This even works with my PS5 with USB audio and have a excellent voice quality via the mic. Phone, tab, laptop, Mac you name it. Battery life is insane, I barely need to charge it explicitly in a month, it charges itself when connected via USB audio (on devices that supports charging via USB)
From the day noise launched these headphones I wanted to buy them. Finally they're mine, absolutely gorgeous looks, premium sound quality, good anc, premium finish, best battery life, its been 2 months since i bought these and I've only charged these headphones twice i even use them regularly, good clarity, comfortable to wear even after long music sessions, i use them in gym and have good clarity, long range and good mic quality.
