15:56I Was NOT Expecting This from the Noise Airwave Max 6...👀 | In-depth Review and Unboxing
The reviewer finds the Noise Airwave Max 6 to be a mixed product: it has good build quality, a nice carrying case, and decent bass, but suffers from low volume, underwhelming ANC, missing features like in-ear detection and dual device pairing, and a heavy design. It may suit casual users upgrading from cheaper headphones, but those used to in-ear buds or expecting premium performance will be disappointed.
