All about the product

Discover it from every angle.
AirPods Max are designed to provide a perfectly isolated acoustic space filled with amazing sound. By pressing the Digital Crown, you start and pause music playback or mute the microphone during a call. A double press skips tracks or ends calls, while rotating the knob allows you to precisely adjust the volume. The breathable mesh that cushions the headband evenly distributes weight, reducing pressure on your head. The ear cushions are made of a special mesh and shape-memory foam, designed with acoustics in mind. The whole system ensures a comfortable fit, making everything sound fantastic. The telescoping arms smoothly extend from the stainless steel frame and lock in your chosen position, providing an ideal fit.

Technology. The source of exceptional sound.
Enhanced by the H2 chip, the AirPods Max 2 provide incredible sound quality, now with even greater clarity. The new amplifier with a wide dynamic range gives the specially designed driver greater power reserve, allowing for deeper bass, more natural vocals, and precise positioning of instruments on a wider soundstage. Fully redesigned for the H2 chip, Adaptive EQ fine-tunes sound for an individual fit and acoustic sealing provided by the cushions. This ensures consistently excellent sound, regardless of fit, movement, or ear geometry. The inward-facing microphones pick up what you hear and then adjust the sound in real-time, providing an even richer sound that now reaches higher frequencies, faithfully reproducing every note.

Lossless sound and ultra-low latency sound preserve every detail of the original recording when you connect AirPods Max 2 to your device via USB-C. This allows you to experience movies and music exactly as the creators intended. Ultra-low audio latency is also great news for gamers. Instant response makes the gaming world fully immersive.

Personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking delivers cinema-quality sound that surrounds you from all sides when watching movies and playing games. With built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max, together with iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV, track the subtle movements of your head and keep you in the center of a three-dimensional acoustic landscape.

Enhanced Active Noise Cancellation.1 Equipped with the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 now suppress more unwanted noises, making music even more immersive. They offer up to 1.5x better active noise cancellation compared to the previous generation.

Adaptive sound automatically adjusts the level of noise cancellation based on your surroundings.

Pressing the listening mode button switches you to transparency mode, which lets outside sounds in, helping you stay connected to your environment.
