Without overlooking the extravagant price tag ($550), there’s no doubt that AirPods Max is already off the chart – on the vox pop. The over-ear headphone has got a lot going for it. Be it the much-touted active noise cancellation or adaptive EQ or the polarizing design, the headphone is at the forefront of attention. If you have managed to get one for yourself, you may be hunting for the matching accessories to both protect and enhance the active noise canceling headphone. Should you wish to go for a suitable travel companion, these are the 5 best AirPods Max travel cases that can keep your pricey investment protected.
The worst thing about the new AirPods Max, without a doubt, is the included case. It has a questionable design language that has been memed to death. The case also doesn’t serve any purpose other than putting the AirPods Max in low power mode. It is flimsy and does nothing to protect the AirPods Max. That’s why I have featured those cases that can overcome its drawbacks.
- Slappa HardBody PRO
- Geekria UltraShell Case
- Laudtec
- CaseSack
- Homvare
1. Slappa HardBody PRO
Featuring a durable construction that can take on accidental drops with ease, Slappa HardBody Pro is a highly protective case for AirPods Max. While the rugged exterior endows strength, the soft plush velveteen interior prevents scratches. And with the two molded alloy zipper, your over-ear headphone remains securely inside.
Another notable feature of the Slappa HardBody Pro case is the water-resistant and fire-retardant design that makes it a better choice for travelers or people who tend to use things in a rough and tough manager. Protection aside, the case also comes with a loop that attaches to a carabiner clip for convenient carrying. Keeping in mind these notable features, HardBody Pro seems to be a good bet at $22.
Another case that bets big on protection is Geekria UltraShell. And looking at the shock-absorbing exterior, I can say that it is fully equipped to shield your over-ear headphone against accidental drops and scratches. For being so protective, UltraShell doesn’t seem to be a bulky case.
At $24.55, Geekria UltraShell may seem to be comparatively expensive than other similar cases. But given the simple and protective design, you can’t go wrong with it.
Carved out of PU leather, Laudtec is designed for those hunting for a refined leather case for AirPods Max. The integration of faux leather and ethylene-vinyl acetate gives it a shock-absorbing construction.
The case has an elastic strap that comes in handy during travel. You can use the strap to carry your AirPods Max with complete peace of mind. Priced at $20, Laudtec is fully equipped to be a long-lasting companion for the AirPods Max.
If a relatively cheap yet good-looking AirPods Max case is what you are after, this offering from CaseSack could be a deserving contender. The case has got a lightweight yet protective form-factor. Being pretty compact, it can easily get inside a small bag.
Last but not least, Homvare is the sort of headphone case that packs a solid punch way above its weight. Made of ethylene-vinyl acetate and faux leather, the has a compact yet durable construction. The company claims that it is shock-proof and water repellent, which makes it a fully protective companion for the headphone.
So, that ends our roundup of the best travel cases designed for AirPods Max. Considering how expensive the headset is and also the fact that it isn’t waterproof, it’s advisable to offer an extra shield to ward off accidental damage. After all, prevention is always better than cure, isn’t it?
