How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want to refresh a pair of AirPods Max without replacing the headphones themselves, choose MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads; if you need a complete set of wireless noise-cancelling over-ear headphones for commuting, travel and TV, choose 1Mii E700. These two products solve completely different problems, so the right pick comes down to what you already own and what you're actually trying to fix.
• MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads — biggest strength: a magnetic attachment system plus washable, breathable mesh-and-memory-foam cushions designed specifically for AirPods Max, so you keep the headphones you already own and just renew the part that wears out.
• MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads — biggest trade-off: it is a set of two cushions, not a headphone. Without an AirPods Max, it does nothing for you.
• 1Mii E700 — biggest strength: a full over-ear Bluetooth headphone with hybrid active noise cancellation, LDAC and aptX support, and a claimed 75-hour battery life, all in a 276 g package with a hard carrying case.
• 1Mii E700 — biggest trade-off: it's a standalone headphone, so it won't restore or repair anything you already own — you're starting a new listening setup from scratch.
• Who each pick is for: replacement earpads for existing AirPods Max owners with flattened, worn or unhygienic cushions; the 1Mii E700 for anyone who needs one capable pair of wireless ANC headphones for the daily commute, flights and desk work.
This is a maintenance product, and it's honest about that. The MC Magic Cushion earpads are custom-designed for the AirPods Max, using a magnetic attachment system that lets you pull the old cushions off and seat the new ones without tools or adhesive. The kit is two cushions in blue, and the enclosure is a mix of fabric and memory foam — specifically a slow-rebound memory foam chosen for compression resistance and breathability, wrapped in a custom mesh textile.
The design reasoning here is worth noting. The brand describes the original AirPods Max cushion as roughly 80% mesh fabric and 20% leather, and says it spent multiple development rounds sourcing a mesh textile wrap that feels softer and more breathable than the original while keeping a tight, one-piece-molded fit that limits sound leakage. Whether it fully matches Apple's cushion is something only your own ears can judge, but the intent is clearly to preserve both noise cancellation and transparency mode performance rather than just cover the drivers with something soft.
The practical appeal is simple. Ear cushions are the first thing to degrade on any over-ear headphone — they flatten, they absorb oil and sweat, and they start to smell. Because these are washable, you can clean them instead of hunting for a replacement every time they get grimy, which extends how long the set lasts. There's also a 1-year warranty on the cushions themselves.
1Mii E700: Who It's For
The E700 is a different animal entirely: a complete pair of over-ear Bluetooth headphones in Indigo, with oval earcups covered in faux leather and memory foam, and a metal-and-plastic frame weighing 276 g. It runs Bluetooth 5.1 with a stated range of about 32.8 feet, and it supports a genuinely wide codec list — LDAC, aptX HD, aptX LL, aptX, AAC and SBC — plus wired listening over USB Type-C. That wired option matters on planes, where the included AUX-to-Type-C cable lets you plug into in-flight entertainment without burning battery.
The headline feature is hybrid active noise cancellation. "Hybrid" means the system uses microphones inside and outside the cups, which is generally more effective across a broader range of frequencies than a single-mic setup — useful for engine drone on a flight or the low rumble of a train. You cycle ANC modes, check battery status, set auto power-off and access built-in soothing sounds through the YeeMall app, and there's also on-device button control plus voice assistant support. The low-latency figure of 40 milliseconds with aptX LL is the spec that makes these usable for TV watching and gaming, where audio lag is immediately obvious.
Battery life is the other standout: 75 hours of average use, recharging in about 3 hours over USB-C. Even allowing for ANC draining that figure faster in real use, this is a headphone you charge weekly rather than nightly. The audio hardware is a 40 mm dynamic driver with a 20 Hz–40 kHz frequency range, 24 ohm impedance and 105 dB sensitivity — the 40 kHz ceiling is what earns the Hi-Res label alongside LDAC.
Buy these if you want one do-everything wireless headphone for commuting, travel, TV and calls, and you value long battery life and codec flexibility. Skip them if you already own a premium pair you're happy with, or if you specifically want to keep using AirPods Max — in that case the cushions above are the relevant product, not this.
• Best for keeping headphones you already love → MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads. It exists purely to restore an AirPods Max you already own.
• Best for battery life → 1Mii E700. 75 hours per charge, with a 3-hour refill, is in a different league from any earbud-style routine.
• Best for noise cancellation across varied environments → 1Mii E700. Hybrid ANC with app-selectable modes is built for planes, trains and open offices.
• Best for hygiene and long-term upkeep → MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads. Washable cushions mean you clean rather than replace.
• Best for TV, movies and gaming → 1Mii E700. aptX Low Latency at 40 ms, plus a wired USB-C option, keeps audio in sync.
• Best for a quick, tool-free install → MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads. The magnetic system means no adhesive, no prying, no fuss.
• Best for travel kit completeness → 1Mii E700. A hard fabric carrying case, charging cable and AUX cable are all part of the package.
• Best for sound quality on iOS devices → MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads. If you're already in Apple's ecosystem, the AirPods Max platform is the one you're tuning.
In my opinion, the deciding question isn't which product is better — it's whether you already own AirPods Max. If you do, I'd buy the MC Magic Cushion Replacement earpads. Fresh memory foam and a clean mesh wrap is the cheapest-feeling upgrade you can make to headphones you already like, and the washable design means you won't be back in the same spot next year. If you don't own AirPods Max, ignore the cushions entirely and buy the 1Mii E700 — the codec support, hybrid ANC, app control and 75-hour battery make it a far more versatile single purchase for commute, travel and home use.
Only if you own AirPods Max. If you do, replacing worn cushions is far less disruptive than replacing the whole headphone, and the washable design makes them easier to maintain long term. If you don't own AirPods Max, they're of no use to you.
MC Magic Cushion states the design supports both ANC and Transparency modes, and the one-piece molded mesh wrap is intended to keep a tight seal and prevent sound leakage. A proper seal is what ANC depends on, so fit quality matters more than anything else here.
The listed average is 75 hours, recharging in about 3 hours over USB-C. Expect that figure to drop if you run hybrid ANC continuously or use higher-bitrate codecs like LDAC, since both draw more power.
Yes. It supports Bluetooth, wired and wireless connectivity, and ships with an AUX-to-Type-C cable, so you can plug into a plane seat or a TV headphone jack when you'd rather not use Bluetooth. That's handy on long flights where you want to save battery.
