Silicone Case Cover for AirPods Max Headphones A00864 – Review
For weeks, I’ve been putting the Silicone Case Cover for AirPods Max Headphones (Model Number: A00864) through its paces. My AirPods Max are my daily drivers, accompanying me through commutes, long work sessions, and even the occasional workout (don’t judge!). This case promised protection and ease of use, and I was curious to see if it delivered.
The package includes a pair of silicone ear cup covers and a headband cover. The silicone material feels exceptionally soft to the touch, almost like baby skin as the description claims, which is a pleasant surprise. The covers are snug, adding minimal bulk to the already substantial AirPods Max. Installation is truly effortless—simply snap them on, and you’re done. No tools or fiddling required.
The cutouts are precise, aligning perfectly with the buttons and ports. There’s no interference with functionality whatsoever. I appreciated that the covers didn’t affect the sleep mode when putting the headphones back into their case. The fit is so seamless, you’d barely notice them.

The primary function of this case is protection, and in that regard, it excels. I’ve dropped my AirPods Max (accidentally, of course!) a few times since using these covers, and they’ve emerged unscathed. The silicone effectively absorbs minor impacts and prevents scratches. The covers also help to avoid that annoying clacking sound the headphones can make when tossed into a bag.
The lightweight design means you’ll barely notice the extra weight or bulk. This is crucial for a product like this, where maintaining the comfort and functionality of the AirPods Max is key. The earcups stay comfortable even during extended listening sessions. Sound quality remains unaffected; no muffling or distortion was observed.
One concern, however, was the long-term durability. I haven’t had it long enough to assess how well it would withstand heavy, consistent use over several months, but initial impressions are positive.
Pros:
- Excellent protection against scratches and minor impacts.
- Lightweight and barely noticeable.
- Easy and tool-free installation.
- Precise cutouts for unhindered functionality.
- Soft and comfortable silicone material.
- Does not interfere with sleep mode.
Cons:
- Long-term durability remains to be seen.
- Limited color options (at least for this review unit).
Overall, the Silicone Case Cover for AirPods Max Headphones (A00864) is a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to protect their AirPods Max without sacrificing comfort or functionality. The easy installation, snug fit, and effective protection make it a winner in my book. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a simple, effective, and affordable way to safeguard their premium headphones. While the long-term durability remains a question mark for now, the immediate benefits outweigh the uncertainties.
