Exceptional comfort for full immersion
AirPods Max are engineered to create an optimal acoustic seal and deliver long‑wear comfort, fully immersing you in every sound whether you’re listening to music, watching movies, or taking calls.
Intuitive Digital Crown controls
Use the Digital Crown to play or pause audio, take photos or videos, mute/unmute on calls, skip tracks with a double press, end calls, and precisely adjust volume — all with effortless, tactile control.
Breathable canopy for reduced pressure
The breathable knit mesh canopy across the headband evenly distributes weight to minimize on‑head pressure for a more comfortable fit during extended listening sessions.
Acoustically engineered ear cushions
Memory foam cushions wrapped in a custom mesh textile form a secure, comfortable seal that supports exceptional sound quality and noise isolation.
Precision‑crafted aluminum cups
Beautifully anodized aluminum cups rotate independently to balance pressure and maintain a stable, comfortable fit that preserves audio performance.
Adjustable telescoping arms for a consistent seal
Stainless steel‑built telescoping arms extend smoothly and stay where you set them, ensuring a consistent fit and reliable acoustic seal every time you put them on.
High‑fidelity sound powered by the H2 chip
The H2 chip and a new high dynamic range amplifier drive a custom‑built driver to deliver richer bass, natural vocals, and precise instrument placement across a wider soundstage for stunningly detailed audio.
Advanced Active Noise Cancellation
Improved ANC, powered by the H2 chip and new computational audio algorithms, reduces more unwanted noise than the previous generation so you can enjoy clearer, more immersive listening without sacrificing sound quality.
Adaptive Audio and Transparency
Adaptive Audio automatically adjusts noise‑cancellation levels to match your environment, from quiet offices to busy cafés. Switch to Transparency mode when you want to hear the world around you for natural interaction.
Long battery life for all‑day use
Enjoy up to 20 hours of listening or movie playback with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled, giving you extended battery life for travel and daily use.
Hands‑free Siri and simple responses
Call on Siri or use “Hey Siri” to play music, make calls, get directions, or manage your schedule. Nodding or shaking your head lets you respond to requests without touching your device.
Seamless device switching and on‑head detection
Automatic Switching lets you move between Apple devices effortlessly — answer an iPhone call while listening on your Mac. On‑head detection pauses playback when you take the headset off and resumes when you put it back on.
Easy Audio Sharing
Quickly share audio between two sets of AirPods from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV with a simple tap, making it effortless to enjoy content with a friend.
USB‑C charging compatibility
The USB‑C connector lets you charge AirPods Max with the same cable used for many modern Apple devices, simplifying charging on the go.
Smart Case preserves battery
Store AirPods Max in the slim Smart Case to put them into an ultra‑low‑power state, helping preserve battery when not in use and keeping them protected.
