AirPods Max are designed for an unequalled comfort that creates the optimal acoustic seal — fully immersing you in every sound.
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 localization across a wider soundstage.
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.
Effortless. With encore-ready power.
Battery. Up to 20 hours of listening or movie watching with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled.
Siri is on standby. Play music, make calls, get directions, or check your schedule with just a “Siri” or “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.
