Verdict

The XROUND Voca Max are over-ear ANC Bluetooth 5.3 headphones featuring 40mm gold-plated drivers (20-40kHz) and LDAC support for high-res audio, designed for 40-hour battery life and comfort via 240g lightweight construction with memory foam ear cups. Key pros include effective Voice Chamber AI noise reduction for calls, 360-degree XROUND Lite surround sound, multi-device multipoint connection, and a low-latency mode. Main cons are that the XROUND Lite surround sound does not work simultaneously with LDAC, the plastic build feels less premium compared to some competitors, and they may still feel warm over long periods.
