Without overlooking the extravagant price tag ($550), there's no doubt that the AirPods Max are already off the charts – on vox-pop. The over-ear headphones have a lot going for them. Whether it's the much talked about active noise cancellation or adaptive EQ or the polarizing design, the headphones are front and center. If you've managed to get yourself one, you might be looking for the matching accessories to both protect and enhance the active noise canceling headphones. If you would like to choose a suitable travel companion, here are the 5 best AirPods Max travel cases that can keep your expensive investment protected.

The worst thing about the new AirPods Max is undoubtedly the included case. It has a questionable idiom that has been memed to death. The case also serves no purpose other than putting the AirPods Max in low-power mode. It's thin and does nothing to protect the AirPods Max. That is why I have presented the cases that can overcome its disadvantages.

To give protection more priority, I have selected cases that have a shockproof design for extra protection against impacts. Most of them also have waterproof designs to ensure that your headphones remain protected from water. Since the AirPods Max aren't waterproof/waterproof, you'd want to offer an extra shield against water damage, especially when you're on the go. With that said, let's get started with the recap!

With a durable construction that can easily take accidental drops, the Slap HardBody Pro is a highly protective case for AirPods Max. While the rugged exterior provides strength, the soft plush velvet interior prevents scratches. And with the two molded alloy zippers, your over-ear headphones stay securely inside.
