Apple AirPods Max 2

All the vivid details.

AirPods Max deliver stunningly detailed, high-fidelity audio for an unparalleled listening experience. Each part of the custom-built driver works to produce sound with ultra-low distortion across the audible range, so you’ll hear every note with a new sense of clarity. 

Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking gives you a theater‑like experience with sound that surrounds you for movies, TV shows, and games.

Lossless Audio preserves every detail of the original recording, whether you’re enjoying a movie or music.

Pro‑level Active Noise Cancellation. 

With up to 2x more noise cancelled, pro‑level Active Noise Cancellation counters external sound with equal anti‑noise. With control over what you hear — and don’t hear — you can immerse yourself in music and podcasts, or simply stay focused, like never before.

Transparency mode. 

Press the noise control button to switch to Transparency mode, which lets outside sound in so you can interact naturally with your surroundings.

Everything designed in perfect harmony.

From cushion to canopy, AirPods Max are designed for an uncompromising fit with unequaled comfort that creates the optimal acoustic seal for many different head shapes — fully immersing you in every sound.

Battery.

Up to 20 hours of listening, movie watching, or talk time — with Pro-level Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled. A quick 5‑minute charge delivers around 1.5 hours of listening.
