Announced: Apple AirPods Max
Noise canceling
Just like the Apple AirPods Pro, the Apple AirPods Max have noise canceling. This technology mutes disturbing ambient noise and white noise via anti-noise. The headphones have special microphones that measure, analyze, and change the ambient noise. This way, you can focus on what you're working on without hearing everything in your surroundings. That's ideal for public transport and other busy areas.
Surround sound
With the Apple AirPods Max, you'll be completely immersed in a movie or series. When watching a movie or series that supports surround sound via Apple TV, the sound comes from all directions. An explosion sounds large and realistic, so it feels like you're in the movie theater.
Floating headband
The design of the Apple AirPods Max differs from other headphones. The headband is made of ventilating mesh. This distributes the weight evenly over your head, so you don't feel as much pressure and it seems like it's floating. This is especially useful during long listening sessions. The frame is made of stainless steel, which gives it a premium appearance.
Double H1 chip
The H1 chip makes sure the headphones quickly connect to your iCloud devices, it saves battery, and provides a better sound quality. We've seen this chip from Apple in the newest Beats products and the AirPods 2 and Pro. The Apple AirPods Max don't have 1 but 2 of these chips. Thanks to this, the headphones perform even better in every area.
