Frequently asked questions about this product

What is the rated battery life of the AirPods Max 2?
Up to 20 hours of listening or video playback with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio enabled — so the figure already includes its conditions, those of real-world use of the headphones.
How many microphones drive the noise cancellation?
Eight: six facing outwards to detect noise and two facing inwards to measure what you actually hear. It is this second group that makes it possible to correct what reaches the ear.
What does the Adaptive Audio mode on these headphones do?
It adjusts the level of noise cancellation by itself depending on where you are — from a quiet office to a noisy café. A listening mode button also lets you switch to Transparency to let the outside world in.
What do you gain by connecting these headphones over USB-C?
Lossless audio and ultra-low latency: the wired connection preserves the detail of the original recording and removes the lag that gets in the way when gaming. This advantage is specific to this connection.
What does the Digital Crown on the ear cup do?
It brings the controls together: one press plays or pauses, takes a photo or mutes the microphone during a call; two presses skip the track or end a call; and you turn it to adjust the volume precisely.
Can the headphones translate a conversation live?
Yes: the Live Translation feature, powered by Apple Intelligence, translates what the person you are talking to says into your language. It is activated by pressing and holding the listening mode button.
What is Adaptive EQ on these headphones?
A real-time correction: inward-facing microphones measure what you actually hear and adjust the sound according to how the ear cushions fit on your head. The sound therefore stays consistent from one person to the next.
How does Personalised Spatial Audio work?
Gyroscopes and accelerometers track your head movements and anchor the sound to the device: the soundstage stays in place when you turn your head, as it would in front of a screen. This applies to films, series and games.
Are calls handled well in a noisy place?
Yes: the Voice Isolation feature, powered by the H2 chip, isolates your voice during calls, even in a noisy environment. Apple also highlights studio-quality voice recording for content creation.
Do the headphones protect against a sudden, overly loud noise?
Yes: Loud Sound Reduction is on by default in Transparency and Adaptive Audio modes. It reduces loud environmental noise without degrading the quality of what you are listening to.
What is the AirPods Max Smart Case for?
To put the headphones into an ultra-low-power state: stored in this soft case, they stop drawing power needlessly. This is what saves you from finding the headphones flat after a few days without use.
Are the AirPods Max 2 comfortable for long listening sessions?
Their breathable knit mesh headband spreads the weight across the head instead of concentrating it, and the over-ear ear cushions are made of memory foam. Playback pauses as soon as you take them off.
Are the Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones new and under warranty?
Yes, new and genuine, with a 1-year warranty, the invoice serving as the warranty document. Keep it: it is all you need for any workshop repair.
