New intelligent features:

Adaptive Audio.

Over‑ear design. From canopy to cushion, built for unequalled fit and comfort — in five vibrant colours.

The ultimate over‑ear listening experience.

Take a closer look.

AirPods Max are designed for an unequalled comfort that creates the optimal acoustic seal — fully immersing you in every sound.

Press the Digital Crown to play and pause music, take a photo or video, or mute and unmute yourself on calls. Press twice to skip between tracks or end calls, or turn it to precisely control volume.

The canopy spanning the headband is made from a breathable knit mesh, distributing weight to reduce on‑head pressure.

The cushions are crafted with acoustically engineered memory foam and a custom-designed mesh textile — creating a fit that is the foundation of incredible sound.

The beautifully anodised aluminium cups feature a mechanism that allows each cup to rotate independently and balance pressure.

The telescoping arms smoothly extend from the stainless steel frame — staying where you set them for a consistent fit and seal.

Superior sound down to a science.

Transformed by the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 deliver more stunningly detailed, high‑fidelity audio. A new high dynamic range amplifier adds even more headroom used by the custom‑built driver to reveal richer bass, more natural vocals and precise instrument localisation across a wider soundstage.

Fully retuned from the ground up for the H2 chip, Adaptive EQ tailors sound to the bespoke fit and seal created by the ear cushions — resulting in a more consistent listening experience across different fits, movements and ear geometry. Inward‑facing microphones measure what you’re hearing, then adjust in real time to deliver a richer experience — now extending to higher frequencies — that faithfully reproduces every note.

Lossless Audio and ultra‑low latency audio preserve every detail of the original recording when connecting AirPods Max 2 to your device via USB‑C — allowing listeners to experience movies and music the way they were created. Gamers can also benefit from ultra‑low latency audio, which eliminates response delay and makes games feel even more immersive.

Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking5 gives you a theatre‑like experience with sound that surrounds you for movies, TV shows and games. Using built‑in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max and your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV track the subtle motion of your head, anchoring sounds to your device.

Unmake some noise.

Improved Active Noise Cancellation.1 Now powered by the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 get more immersive by reducing even more undesirable noise — up to 1.5x more Active Noise Cancellation than the previous generation. New computational audio algorithms counter more external sound with equal anti‑noise — without compromising sound quality.

Adaptive Audio automatically adjusts the levels of noise cancellation depending on your environment. From quiet offices to noisy cafés, Adaptive Audio ensures an optimal listening experience. Or press the listening mode button to switch to Transparency — letting outside sounds in so you can interact naturally with your surroundings.

Talk about communication skills.

Conversation Awareness. When you start speaking, Conversation Awareness automatically lowers the volume of what you’re listening to and amplifies the voices in front of you — helping you stay connected and making conversations feel natural. And when you’re done talking, your music seamlessly returns to its previous volume.

Loud Sound Reduction and Personalised Volume. On by default in Transparency and Adaptive Audio listening modes, Loud Sound Reduction automatically helps reduce louder environmental sounds while preserving the audio quality. And Personalised Volume learns to adjust your volume across different environments over time, ensuring the perfect listening experience no matter where you are.

Effortless. With encore-ready power.

Battery. Up to 20 hours of listening or movie watching with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled.

Siri on standby. Play music, make calls, get directions or check your schedule with just a “Hey Siri”. You can even nod your head yes or shake your head no when Siri asks if you’d like to hear a message, answer a call or manage a notification.

Automatic Switching and on-head detection. If you’re playing music on your Mac, you’ll be able to answer a call on your iPhone — without having to switch devices. Your AirPods Max sense when you take it off your head and will pause playback until you put it back on.

Audio Sharing. With just a tap to connect, you can easily share an audio stream between two sets of AirPods on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV.

USB‑C Charging. The USB‑C connector lets you charge your AirPods Max 2 with the same cable that charges your iPhone, iPad, Mac or other Apple devices.

Smart Case. When stored in the soft, slim Smart Case, AirPods Max enter an ultra‑low‑power state.
