Newly powered by the H2 chip, the Apple AirPods Max 2 are wireless over-ear headphones sporting next-gen intelligent features like live language translation, lossless USB-C audio, adaptive sound, and 1.5x more noise canceling than the AirPods Max. With spatial audio and the new high dynamic range amp, it's never been easier to lose yourself in a world of immersive sound.
When you need to stay in tune with your surroundings, Conversation Awareness and Transparency mode ensure you can let in the sounds you want without losing audio quality. You still get the plush soft memory-foam earcups and knit mesh canopy headband for long-lasting comfort, and the Digital Crown now offers new intelligent functions like the ability to capture photo or video content with a single press. The built-in mics not only offer crystal clear communication in any environment, they now provide easy access to studio-quality audio recording, ideal for podcasters and content creators. You can also now interact with Siri more easily than ever, with simple gestures like nodding and shaking your head to enable seamless and private interactions with your AI assistant. The AirPods Max 2 include a USB-C cable and a smart case.
H2-Powered Active Noise Cancellation
Thanks to H2 and new computational audio algorithms, AirPods Max 2 deliver ANC that’s up to 1.5x more effective than the previous generation. This reduces even more noise—like airplane engines or commuter trains—so users can fully immerse themselves in music, work, or phone calls. With a new digital signal processing algorithm optimized for H2 and the microphone array on AirPods Max 2, Transparency sounds even more natural so users can stay aware of their environment and those around them.

Conversation Awareness Mode
When Active Noise Canceling mode is on, you can easily chat with others or listen to your surroundings without taking off your AirPods Max 2. Simply press the dedicated noise control button to activate Conversation Awareness mode, and let outside sounds back in.
USB-C Charging
The USB-C connector lets you charge your AirPods Max 2 with the same cable that charges your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or other Apple devices. A quick 5-minute charge delivers about 1.5 hours of listening.
Save Battery Life with a Smart Case
Included with the AirPods Max 2 is Apple's Smart Case, which conveniently stores the headphones and puts them into an ultralow-power state to preserve battery life.
Built for Comfort
Over-ear headphones can be cumbersome to wear for long periods of time, which is why Apple redesigned the headband of AirPods Max 2 to incorporate a breathable knit mesh canopy. This canopy is designed to optimally distribute the weight of the headphones and reduce on-head pressure. It's connected to two earcups that sport mesh textile-wrapped memory foam for pillow-like softness.
Each anodized aluminum earcup rotates independently to further balance pressure and improve comfort. Telescoping arms extend smoothly and stay in place to ensure the earcups maintain a precise fit. The entire AirPods Max durable stainless steel frame is wrapped in a soft-touch material to give them a premium look and feel.

Hands-Free Calls and Siri
The sounds around you can not only distract you as you listen, but they can ruin conversations as well. When paired with an iPhone for hands-free calling, the AirPods Max 2 use three microphones and beamforming technology to focus on your voice and ensure that it's transmitted clearly.
Siri
With the AirPods Max 2, Siri is always on and ready to help. Get directions, weather forecasts, listen to your schedule, and more. Siri will even speak incoming messages to you when they arrive with the Announce Messages feature. You can then tell Siri to respond via voice command.
On-Head Detection
Sensors built into the AirPods Max 2 will detect when they are removed and will automatically pause your audio. Audio will automatically resume when you put the AirPods Max back on your head.
