Apple has launched a new pair of over-ear wireless headphones called AirPods Max, set to deliver high-fidelity audio experiences. These headphones feature key technologies such as Adaptive EQ, Active Noise Cancellation, and spatial audio.
Priced at $549, customers can start placing orders today via Apple.com or the Apple Store app, with the product becoming available on December 15. The AirPods Max will be available in five color options: space gray, silver, sky blue, green, and pink.
The headphones are designed with a breathable knit mesh headband that helps distribute weight and minimizes pressure on the head. Additionally, the ear cups are made from acoustically engineered memory foam to ensure a proper seal and enhanced comfort.
Each headphone utilizes a 40-mm dynamic driver specifically designed by Apple for rich sound performance. Equipped with the H1 chip in each ear cup, the AirPods Max claim to offer exceptional audio quality through computational audio processes.
On one ear cup, users will find a Digital Crown similar to that on the Apple Watch, allowing precise control over volume, playback, and Siri activation. There’s also a dedicated button for switching between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode.
AirPods Max are designed for longevity, featuring a battery life of up to 20 hours with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio in use. Apple maintains that a quick five-minute charge can provide 1.5 hours of listening time.
Additionally, the headphones support seamless pairing with any device linked to a user’s iCloud account, enhancing ease of use. This launch is not just about audio; the AirPods Max also come with an intelligent Smart Case that places them into an ultra-low power state when not in use, thus conserving battery life.
Available in the U.S. and over 25 other regions, the AirPods Max signal a new high point in Apple’s audio products.
