AirPods Max 2 - Listening. Remastered
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 knitted 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 tracking gives you a cinema‑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
High-fidelity details
- Microphones: To cancel unwanted external noise, AirPods Max use six outward‑facing microphones to detect outside noise, and two inward‑facing microphones to measure what you’re hearing. Now powered by H2, Voice Isolation comes to AirPods Max 2 to help isolate your voice on phone calls - even in noisy environments. And creators can now capture stunning vocals with natural vocal texture and clarity
- Driver: The Apple-designed dynamic driver produces an extended frequency range that uncovers the rich details of every sound - delivering your favourite songs with previously unheard of texture and accuracy
- Distortionless Playback: Modelled after those in high‑end floor‑standing speakers, the driver’s dual‑neodymium ring magnet motor minimises total harmonic distortion across the entire audible range. With the new high dynamic range amplifier, the result is consistently clear playback, even at higher volumes
Unmake some noise
Improved Active Noise Cancellation
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 coffee shops, 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
Live Translation powered by Apple Intelligence
With Live Translation, communicating with people speaking different languages has never been easier. After a simple press and hold of the listening mode button, AirPods Max 2 translates the language the person is speaking into your preferred language.
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’ve finished 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.
