How ChatGPT by OpenAI is Revolutionizing the Way We Search and Do Things Online

OPENAI LOGO

OpenAI is a research company founded by entrepreneurs and researchers, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman. The company’s mission is to advance artificial intelligence responsibly and safely, intending to benefit humanity. To achieve this mission, OpenAI conducts research in a variety of fields, including machine learning, robotics, and economics, and also develops technologies and tools that can be used by researchers, developers, and businesses. One of the most unique products developed by OpenAI is ChatGPT, a natural language processing chatbot with the potential to revolutionize online search.

ChatGPT by OpenAI is a revolutionary new natural language processing (NLP) technology developed by OpenAI that has great potential to change the way we use search and interact online. At its core, ChatGPT is a chatbot that utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to understand and respond to user input in real time. However, what sets ChatGPT apart from other chatbots is its ability to generate human-like responses based on a vast database of pre-trained data. This allows ChatGPT to not only understand user queries and provide accurate information but also engage in natural conversation and offer suggestions and recommendations based on the context of the conversation.

ChatGPT could revolutionize how we search and do things online by providing a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for accessing information. Traditional search engines can be cumbersome and difficult to use, especially for users unfamiliar with search syntax and advanced operators. With ChatGPT, users may simply ask a question or make a request in natural language, and the chatbot will provide a relevant response or list of suggestions. This is especially useful for tasks that involve multiple steps or involve a large amount of information, as ChatGPT can help users navigate and filter through the results to find exactly what they are looking for.

Another way that ChatGPT could revolutionize the way we search and do things online is by providing a more personalized and tailored experience. Traditional search engines often provide generic and impersonal results, as they do not consider the user’s specific interests or preferences. With ChatGPT, users can provide additional context and background information about themselves, and the chatbot will use this information to provide more relevant and accurate results. For example, if a user is looking for a new restaurant to try, they can tell ChatGPT their location, preferred cuisine, and price range, and the chatbot will provide a list of recommendations based on these criteria.


In addition to improving the search experience, ChatGPT could also revolutionize the way we interact with online content and services. Today, many websites and apps have rigid and inflexible interfaces that can be difficult to use, especially for users who are not technically savvy. With ChatGPT, users can simply ask the chatbot to perform a task or access a feature, and the chatbot will handle the rest. This could be especially useful for tasks involving multiple steps or requiring the input of specific information, as ChatGPT can guide the user through the process and provide assistance.

Overall, ChatGPT has great potential to revolutionize how we search and do things online by providing a more intuitive, personalized, and user-friendly interface for accessing information and interacting with online content and services. Furthermore, with its advanced NLP capabilities and ability to generate human-like responses, ChatGPT could become a powerful tool for users of all levels of technical proficiency.

How to use ChatGPT by OpenAI?

Chatting with ChatGPT is a unique experience that allows you to interact with a cutting-edge AI language model conversationally. You can use it to generate creative writing, chat with it as if it were a person, or use it to answer questions you might have. Here’s a guide on how to use ChatGPT to get the most out of it.

  1. First, you will need to access ChatGPT. You can do this by using the OpenAI API, which is available to developers and businesses, or by using one of the third-party applications that have integrated the API.
  2. Once you have access to ChatGPT, you will need to provide it with a prompt, which is the initial text that the model will use to generate a response. The prompt should be a sentence or two that gives the model context for the conversation.
  3. Next, you can begin interacting with the model by typing a message and pressing the enter key. The model will use the prompt and your message to generate a response.
  4. One thing to note when using ChatGPT is that it’s a machine-learning model that has been trained on a vast dataset of text. Therefore it will make mistakes or may not be able to understand some specific terms or questions. Keep that in mind while you are working with it, and perhaps try to be as clear as possible in your interactions with the model.
  5. You can also adjust the level of confidence of the model’s responses, which is a value that indicates how likely the model thinks its response is to be accurate. By default, this value is set to 0.7, but you can adjust it to a higher or lower value, depending on your needs.
  6. Additionally, you can also use specific API endpoints to fine-tune the settings like temperature, top_p, top_k, etc for better response.
  7. Have fun with it! Experiment with different prompts and see what kind of responses you can get from the model. You can use ChatGPT for creative writing, answering questions, or just having a conversation with an AI.

Definitely try ChatGPT out. It’s mind-blowing.

Ledger Nano S Hardware Wallet Review [Best Crypto Wallets 2021]

The Ledger Nano S Hardware Wallet is one of the best and most secure bitcoin wallets in the market. So whether you are getting into crypto and looking to find your best first wallet or if you are holding coins already and want to move them to a secure wallet, the Ledger Nano S might be the perfect solution for you.

The Ledger Nano S is a Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Altcoins hardware wallet it’s designed for the safe storage of cryptographic assets and the secure transaction of digital payments.

It easily connects to any computer (USB) and embeds a secure OLED display. Each transaction can be double-checked and confirmed with a single tap on its side buttons.

Ledger Nano S includes Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Ethereum Classic companion apps, and other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies, so it got you covered if you are holding the popular and most significant crypto coins.


How secure is the Ledger Nano S?

The Ledger Nano S is undoubtedly the most secure hardware wallet I’ve tested, and it by far holds the number one spot in my list of secure wallets.

The Nano S uses two physical buttons to protect you from accidentally sending cryptocurrency. The first button is used to confirm transactions, and the second button is used to cancel them.

If you attempt to send cryptocurrency when your wallet isn’t unlocked, the Nano S will display a warning message telling you to check your settings. The Nano S also supports something called a passphrase, which isn’t the same thing as a PIN code. The passphrase is a 24-word phrase that you can set up when you set up your wallet. The passphrase is used to secure your wallet when you’re not using it so in the event that your device is stolen, it can’t be used without the passphrase. You can also create a 24-word recovery phrase, which will allow you to restore your wallet if you lose it.

What comes in the Ledger Nano S box when you order it?

1)The Ledger Nano S A USB cable for connection to your computer

2)A keychain and a lanyard

3)A recovery sheet to write down the seed phrase for backup

4) A card with the 24 words seed phrase


The Ledger Nano S features and specifications:

Display: 128 x 32 OLED screen Connectivity:

USB Operating system: Google Chrome app

Supported cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, Dash, Zcash, Stratis, Dogecoin, Komodo, PoSW, ARK, Expanse, UBIQ, PIVX, Vertcoin, Viacoin, Stealthcoin, Namecoin, NEO, Stealthcoin, Bitcoin Gold, Stellar, Hcash, Digibyte, Qtum, Bitcoin Private, Bitcoin Gold, Horizen, Trustcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Atom, Ravencoin, Vechain, Pura, Groestlcoin

How to backup the Ledger Nano S wallet?

To back up the Ledger Nano S wallet you have to use your 24-word recovery phrase. The Ledger Nano S recovery phrase is the only way to access the wallet. Therefore, writing down the 24-word recovery phrase on the recovery sheet provided in the box when you received your Ledger Nano S is necessary. 

To write the 24 words recovery phrase, you have to enter the correct order of the words in the order they were provided in the recovery sheet. Therefore, when you write them down, make sure you write them in the correct order.

Important: The Ledger Nano S recovery phrase should be written down and kept in a safe place so that it won’t be lost. Never give it to anyone. Beware of scammers and phishing attacks over email that might ask you for it, Ledger will never ask you for the seed code. 

Ensure it is stored safely. This is the only way to recover your account if you lose your Ledger Nano S or get a new device. For example, suppose you lost your Ledger Nano S, and you did not write down the Ledger Nano S recovery phrase and did not transfer your cryptocurrencies to another device or wallet. In that case, you will permanently lose your cryptocurrencies. I highly recommend using a seed plate that you can buy from the Ledger store or directly from Amazon. What I love about these seed plates is that it helps protect your 24 words from water or fire incidents. 

What is Ledger live?

The ledger live software is the bridge between your ledger hardware wallet and the internet. It allows you to manage your cryptocurrency through your ledger wallet, no matter where you are. With hardware wallets, you have to plug them into your computer to see your cryptocurrency. With ledger live, you can access your wallet on your computer, or on the go via your phone. It’s pretty easy to use. The software only needs to be installed, and then you’re in business. Even if you’ve never used a ledger wallet before, you’ll be able to figure out what to do. It’s pretty simple. Because of the simplicity, you no longer have to worry about using different wallets for different cryptocurrencies. With Ledger live, you can use any of your cryptocurrencies through the software.

How to Recover your Ledger Nano S Hardware wallet?

Recovering your Ledger Nano S wallet is very easy. First, you have to select the ‘recover wallet’ option on the device. Then you have to enter your 24-word recovery phrase. After you enter the 24-word recovery phrase, the Ledger Nano S will scan the blockchain through the internet for transactions made to your address. When the Ledger Nano S finds the transaction, it will present your balance. After that, you will quickly be prompted to confirm the recovery. In the next step, you will confirm the recovery, you will be taken to the next screen, where you must enter your PIN code.

Lastly, enter the PIN code, your Ledger Nano S will be restored with all your cryptocurrencies.

The Ledger Nano S Vs. Trezor One

The following information will give you a much better understanding of how the Ledger Nano S compares with the Trezor One: (Please also check our full review of top crypto wallets and especially the Trezor hardware wallet)

The Nano S is thinner, lighter, and sleeker looking than the Trezor One.

The Nano S is also smaller than the Trezor One. It has a higher resolution display, but it has a smaller screen size. The Nano S only has an on/off button, while the Trezor One has two buttons. The Nano S has a micro-USB port for both data transfer and power, while the Trezor One has a full-size USB port for both data transfer and power. Both of these devices come with software, but they are different.

The Nano S has an app called “Ledger Manager” which is used to install the Nano S’ native applications. It also allows for firmware updates. The Trezor One has “Trezor Manager” software. This software has a similar purpose to the Nano S, but it supports more different cryptocurrencies.

Overall, I would recommend getting the Ledger Nano S over the TREZOR ONE, However, both are great crypto wallets, and you can’t go wrong with either one.

The Ledger Nano S Vs. The Ledger Nano X

The Nano X is the newest offering from the Ledger team. Both devices offer support for most of the same cryptocurrencies, but the Nano X has a few extra features. It has a larger screen, two buttons, but it does not have a micro-USB port. However, it does have a USB-C port that can be used for power or data transfer. The Nano X also has a touch screen, which the Nano S does not have.

The Nano X has a significantly longer standby time than the Nano S because it has a rechargeable battery. Another different thing is that the Nano X can be charged with USB-C, while the Nano S uses a standard micro-USB cable.

Nano X has a multi-color LED to indicate when it is in use, when it is in standby mode, and when there is an error. It also has support for FIDO2, which is a security protocol that can be used to log into websites and apps. The Nano X also has a desktop app, unlike the Nano S. Lastly, the Nano X has a native app called “Blockchain” and there is a web version of the app. The Blockchain app allows for the user to manage their cryptocurrencies easily. The Nano X also supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin SV, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Diamond, Litecoin, and Dash.

Conclusion

To sum up, the Nano S by Ledger is a great crypto wallet to own. It is a very secure wallet, and the interface is fantastic. This is a high-quality hardware wallet that will keep your funds safe from theft, and you can even use it to store other cryptocurrencies in addition to Bitcoin.

Trezor is a valuable and affordable solution for storing and protecting your bitcoins, and it is easy to set up and use. The main goal of Trezor is to provide a secure environment in which keys are generated, and transactions are processed. The wallet is available in white or black colors.

How to install the TREZOR wallet?

To get started, you should plug your brand new Trezor device into your computer. Then open the Trezor Bridge Chrome extension. From there, click on the “Create Wallet” button. You should see a prompt asking you to set up a PIN. After that, you should see the “Wallet Creation” screen. This is where you should make sure you write down your recovery seed. Trezor’s recovery seed is the key to recovering your crypto assets if your Trezor device is lost or stolen.

Beware of scammers or phishing emails that will ask you for it. Please write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

I also highly recommend buying a Cryptosteel Capsule to protect your private information from water or fire you can never know what can happen in life, you can order the cryptosteel capsule from TREZOR SHOP together with your hardware wallet or buy something similar on Amazon.

The Cryptosteel Capsule

Next in the installation step, you should click on the “Next” button. This action will prompt you to enter a password for your wallet and you must use a strong password for your wallet. You should avoid using famous quotes, dates, or any other information on this screen. If you are uncomfortable with randomly generated passwords, you can also use a password manager to create a strong password.

Now you should click on the “Next” button. This will take you to the “Receiving Addresses” screen, where you should enter the wallet’s receiving address that you want to link to this device. The receiving address of your wallet is the address that people will send Bitcoin or ETH to. Once you have entered the receiving address, you should click on the “Next” button. This will take you to the “Device Confirmation” screen. This is where you should confirm the receiving address on the Trezor device. After you have confirmed the receiving address, you should click on “Next”. This step will take you to the “Confirmation” screen. This screen will ask you to confirm that you want to link this device to your wallet. Once you have confirmed that you want to link this device to your wallet, you will be taken to the “Summary” screen.

This screen will show you the wallet address that you have just linked to your Trezor device. Now you can click on the “Finish” button.

This will confirm that you have linked your Trezor device to the wallet. After you have completed the process, you can use your Trezor device to confirm transactions in your wallet, and basically, you are ready to go.

Seeing is believing and Samsung knows this very well. The global giant known for creating some of the most stunning displays across several device categories is no stranger to Televisions. The Samsung 8 series TVs are quite popular with buyers and have been in the market for a while. This particular range from Samsung strikes the right balance between performance, aesthetics, and value for money. In this review, we will look at the Samsung TU-8000 UHD TV, so let us jump right in. 

Design and build quality 

The design is minimalistic and simple that lends the TV a very sleek and modern appearance. Although the TV uses plastic for its construction, it felt sturdy enough during our testing. The bezels are quite negligible and help to add to the sleek and modern look. The thin bezels also mean that we get an almost edge to edge picture. The TV has two V-shape brushed plastic legs fixed at the bottom. The legs are sturdy and help to hold the TV in place quite firmly, although we did feel it was a bit bulky. The other noticeable design feature is the small but significant Samsung logo on the bottom bezel. Although the Samsung TU-8000 will not make heads turn with its design, it is pretty well designed for the price point.

Features 

The Samsung TU-8000 UHD TV comes in 6 sizes, 43 inches, 50 inches, 55 inches, 65 inches, 75 inches, and 85 inches. The device runs on a modified version of Samsung’s native Tizen Smart TV OS. The Tizen OS on the TU-8000 is a stripped-down version from that found in higher-end models, however, it does have most of the same features. It has a host of popular streaming apps such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Sling TV, and YouTube. However, the selection of apps is not as comprehensive as that on Amazon Fire TV, Google TV, or Roku TV. This is not a major drawback and the TU-8000 compensates this with other features such as Steam Link for playing games from a PC.

It also supports voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung’s Bixby. The TV also supports screen mirroring as well as Apple AirPlay, and Samsung’s SmartThings app. Additionally, the TV features remote access to PCs, Samsung’s DeX docking system, and cloud access to Office 365, and also includes a web browser. In terms of connectivity and ports, the Samsun TU-8000 has 3 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, 1 Digital Optical Audio Out as well as 1 Tuner and Ethernet ports each. While using the TV as a wall-mounted display, one of the HDMI port’s becomes unusable due to being at the back. In terms of wireless connectivity, it is fairly standard and the device offers WiFi, WiFi direct and Bluetooth 4.2. The remote control is quite simple with minimal controls and voice input options. There are keys for Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Samsung TV Plus.

Performance 

The TV has the Samsung Crystal 4K processor that upscales content to 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160). The picture quality is decent and nothing amazing, which is expected at this price point. The panel is a bit dim and colour reproduction is fairly neutral and we felt it was a bit undersaturated at times. The effective contrast ratio of 7,177:1 is good but is restricted by the absence of local dimming. Once again, this is an entry-level TV and is expected. Although the TV does support HDR, the brightness is not sufficient for the footage to stand out and is average. While previewing some HDR content, we felt it lacked the depth and definition expected from an HDR video. The lack of peak brightness is very evident and is a bit disappointing but considering the pricing and the segment, it is not a deal-breaker by any means. 

SAMSUNG TU-8000 UHD

The Audio performance is decent and there is support for Dolby Atmos audio that enhances the overall experience. However, the frequency from the 20W speakers is just ok and audio distortions are noticeable especially near the maximum volume. One commendable performance feature is the input lag. The TV has a normal input lag of around 90 milliseconds, however, in gaming mode, it drops down to 20 milliseconds. This makes the TV well suited for gaming. 

In the box 

The Samsung TU-8000 comes with Remote control, 2x AA batteries, a quick setup guide manual, and Cable management clips in the box. 

Pros and Cons 

The Samsung TU-8000 is not a masterpiece of a device by any means. It falls short in a few categories such as picture quality and colour performance, a dim picture panel and the small number of HDMI ports. Another drawback is the presence of ads on the home screen. This can reduce the overall user experience as there is no option to turn the ads off. However, the device does offer some solace in terms of useful features such as screen mirroring, options for multiple voice assistants as well as AI 4K upscaling. Apart from that the device also has one of the best contrast ratios in this particular segment. It also boasts of a very low input lag factor that could make it an attractive buy for gaming enthusiasts. 

Verdict 

Our verdict is, go for the Samsung TU-8000 if you want a well-balanced package at a great price point. The design is clean, simple and the TV comes with a host of useful and handy features. The TV may not be the most stellar of performers but it does tick a lot of boxes for us. This device would make a solid buy if you can overlook some of the minor shortcomings we pointed out.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Review

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II released in 2017 is one of the best sounding wireless noise-canceling headphones in the market even today. These headphones are part of the legendary Quiet Comfort series of Active noise-canceling headphones by Bose. So, what makes these pair of headphones catch the imagination of a buyer? Let us find out in our review of the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II. We test these headphones to see if they still match up to the competition, so let us jump right in.

In the Box

So, the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II comes with a hard carry case, which is super sturdy and can take some rough handling. The headphones fit snugly into the carry case and show how flexible the headphones are. Besides the headphones and carry case, there is a micro-USB charging cable as well as a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm audio cable. The audio jack and cable are handy especially if you have a non-wireless device that relies on a 3.5 mm jack. It misses out on a USB Type C charging port common on most devices now.

Design and Build Quality

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II is not the best-looking pair of headphones out there. They look almost exactly like the previous iteration of the QC series. The new addition is the Action button on the left earcup that supports both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. They come in two colors, black, and silver, and can be generic or boring for younger users. The design is rather minimal and simple and is not for people looking to show off the styling or colors of their headphones. The plastic build only adds to this but having said that they are sturdy. The plastic body also helps to kick a few grams off the overall weight of the headphones making them ideal for long use. The body is quite durable and can take some rough handling and some twisting and turning as well.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Black

The headband is quite comfortable and makes use of Alcantara material. The earcups on the Bose QuietComfort 35 II are also quite comfortable and enhances the noise cancellation capabilities. We found that during testing, the headphones are comfortable for extended periods of listening and at 8.3 ounces are quite light. The headphones are quite flexible and can fit into most cramped backpacks, although we recommend using the carry case. Besides the Action button, there is also a multifunction button, volume control buttons. The Power button is on the right earcup. The USB charging port and audio jack are underneath the earcups and are quite well placed and easy to access.

Performance and Sound Quality

The sound quality on the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is impressive and can satisfy most regular users. However, these cannot be used for monitoring or might not be the first choice for Audiophiles. Having said that, they have a near-flat frequency response that gives room to customize EQ levels. The bass and mids are slightly higher up and the highs are clear and transparent. The headphones handle most genre’s that we threw at it quite well although the sound staging is nothing you could compare to an open back pair of headphones.

The one department where the Bose QuietComfort 35 II shines is noise cancellation. Bose has been the pioneer in Active Noise-cancelling headphones and the ANC is top-notch in these headphones. While testing the headphones with the ANC turned ON, we were able to enjoy Nightingale by Yanni on a noisy suburban street. The ANC kept all the ambient sounds off and we were super impressed. The Action button can also is programmable and can act as a level control for noise cancellation.

Battery Life and Connectivity

The Bose QuietComfort 35 II claims a battery life of 20 hours with ANC turned ON and on a moderate volume level. The charging is quick, and the headphones can churn out 2.5 hours of playback after a 15-minute charge. While testing this figure was almost spot on and using the 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm Audio jack or turning the ANC feature Off can extend battery life. The headphone offers Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity and is probably a bit dated compared to a lot of the other models in the market today.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Silver

That being said, the connection is pretty stable and the Bose Connect+ app helps with an almost seamless connection. The Bose Connect+ app also controls the action button and multifunction buttons. It lets you program the action button for Alexa, Google Assistant the default or ANC level control. For iOS users, the multifunction button can work with Siri by using the Bose Connect+ App to reprogram it.

Verdict

If you are looking for no-frills bang for the buck headphones, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is for you. It has the perfect design that provides great comfort, top-notch noise cancellation, and decent battery life. These pair of headphones are great for travelers, especially on long flights. This is because they offer great comfort and a pretty decent battery backup. Although, it might not be everyone’s first choice as they are a bit dated and lack a few features like automatic play/pause, a USB-C type port, and Bluetooth 5.0 support.

Having said that the price of these has come down significantly and are a great deal. If there is one thing that you should buy these for it is the Active Noise Cancellation feature. Recently Bose has also come up with a customizable variant for a few extra dollars that lets you customize the colors. So, the QuietComfort 35 II is a really good pair of headphones and ticks most of the boxes for us.

Apple AirPods Max Review

The much-awaited Apple AirPods Max hit the markets in late December last year and we couldn’t wait to test them out. It is the first on-ear wireless headphones from Apple and probably the most expensive in the AirPods line up. The headphones can compete with headphones like Sony and Bose. Now let us put these cans to the test and see how they live up to all the hype.

Design, build quality and comfort

The design is minimal and aligns with the rest of Apple’s line up of consumer products. It is simple, elegant, and functional like most Apple products. The build quality is exceptional, and we can easily notice the attention to detail that has gone into crafting these headphones. They feature anodized Aluminum earcups and a stainless-steel headband wrapped in a soft to touch material. The earcups are pivoted and have an extendable telescopic arm to adjust to different head sizes.

Apple AirPods Earcups

They are rectangular in shape and feature rounded memory foam cups that give a snug fit every time. The earcups have a custom-designed fabric mesh that is soft and the earcups are replaceable. They are also quite comfortable when we tried them on for an extended period of listening. Although, the cans did feel a bit heavy at 385 grams but was evenly distributed. The fabric mesh canopy on the headband helped in distributing the weight evenly and also helped reduce head pressure.

Performance and Sound quality

The sound quality of these headphones is top-notch and one of the best for wireless cans. Although these might not be for Audiophiles or professionals, the AirPods Max does deliver exceptional sound quality. What impressed us the most was the accurate sound reproduction and soundstaging at all volume ranges. The EQ is not flat but does deliver a rich sound experience across Treble, Mid and Bass frequencies.

The earcups come with 40mm custom drivers designed by Apple with Neodymium ring motors that limit the distortion to less than 1%. The AirPods Max are great for listening to any genre and we had a lot of fun testing out some heavy metal and Deep House. They do live up to the price tag in terms of sound quality and performance. Like the AirPods and AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max come with the Apple H1 chip on each earcup. The Apple H1 chip has 10 audio cores and can perform up to 9 billion operations per second and controls computational Audio Performance.

Spatial Audio, Noise cancellation and other features

The AirPods Max like its predecessors supports Spatial Audio and it was impressive when we tested it out with a movie. The inbuilt gyroscope and accelerometers sense movement and automatically recalibrates Spatial Audio parameters delivering an immersive audio experience. We felt the Spatial Audio greatly enhanced the overall experience especially while watching movies as it supports multichannel audio mixes and Dolby Atmos content. The noise-cancelling feature is top-notch again thanks to the H1 chip and the snug-fitting earpads. While we tested them at a noisy cafe, the AirPods Max managed to drown out most of the external sound. The headphones also come with a transparency mode that lets in ambient sounds.

Apple AirPods Max Review

Both noise-cancelling and transparency have just one level of setting. This is a bit limited in terms of control when comparing with headphones in the same category. The AirPods Max also have a host of sensors on each earcup like an optical sensor, position sensor, case detect sensor and an accelerometer. There is also a gyroscope on the left earcup apart from the other sensors. The gyroscope is mainly responsible for calibrating the Spatial Audio.

The headphones also feature 2 tactile controls, a push-button and a digital crown. The push-button switches between noise cancellation and transparency modes. The digital crown has multiple functions like volume control, invoking Siri, play, pause and skip of tracks. We found on multiple instances that the digital crown was accidentally pressed while adjusting the headphone. The AirPods Max, like all Apple products, syncs instantaneously with other iOS devices and can control the headphones.

Battery life and connectivity

The battery life of 20 hours as advertised does live up to the claims. We found that on testing the AirPods Max the battery did last close to 20 hours. Although you can’t turn the device off fully, the headphones enter an ultra low power mode while using the Smart Case. After using the headphones several times with the Smart Case we found that the power drain was minimal. The AirPods Max also comes with Bluetooth 5 connectivity and the connection was quite stable. The pairing is straight forward and simple with most devices but works seamlessly with other Apple products.

Verdict

Our verdict for the AirPods Max remains mixed for a few reasons. Firstly, you need to be an Apple user to enjoy full functionality. The Spatial Audio and Automatic switching functions only work on iOs devices. High-Resolution Audio Support is only for Apple’s Digital Master’s and could be a deal-breaker for some. The Smart Case does little to protect the headphones and at this price range, could be better designed. All said and done, the Airpods Max is a great pair of headphones if you are willing to shell a few extra dollars and are a loyal Apple user. They have seamless connectivity with the Apple ecosystem and could be a coveted addition for the loyal Apple user.
