Digital Crown controls
Press the Digital Crown to play or pause music, capture a photo or video, or mute and unmute on calls. Double press to skip tracks or end calls, and rotate the crown for precise volume control.
Breathable canopy for balanced weight
The canopy spanning the headband is made from breathable knit mesh that distributes weight evenly to reduce on‑head pressure for more comfortable extended listening.
Acoustically engineered cushions
The ear cushions use memory foam and a custom mesh textile to create a secure fit that forms the foundation for exceptional sound and noise isolation.
Anodized aluminum cups with balanced rotation
Beautifully anodized aluminum cups include a mechanism that lets each cup rotate independently, balancing pressure for a consistent seal and comfort.
Telescoping arms for a consistent fit
The telescoping arms extend smoothly from a stainless steel frame and stay where you set them, ensuring a reliable fit and seal every time you wear them.
High‑fidelity sound with H2 chip
Powered by the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 deliver detailed, high‑fidelity audio. A high dynamic range amplifier and custom driver reveal richer bass, natural vocals, and precise instrument placement across a wide soundstage.

Adaptive Audio automatically adjusts noise cancellation levels to match your environment, from quiet offices to busy cafes. Use the listening mode button to switch to Transparency when you need to hear the world around you.
Long battery life
Get up to 20 hours of listening or movie playback with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled, so your sessions last through the day.

USB‑C charging convenience
The USB‑C connector lets you charge AirPods Max 2 with the same cable used for other Apple devices, simplifying charging on the go.
Smart Case for ultra‑low‑power storage

Breathable headband mesh (French note)
The band at the top of the headband is made from breathable mesh fabric that distributes weight and reduces pressure on the head.
