Apple - AirPods Max (Lightning) vs Sennheiser - HD 660S2

The AirPods Max (Lightning) edges ahead on the Mars Score (65.7 vs 61.4), but the 4.3-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the AirPods Max (Lightning) if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. The biggest gaps in its favor are driver size, active noise cancellation, spatial audio, among others.

Pick the HD 660S2 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight.

Both ship with comparable multipoint, ldac, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
