Frequently asked questions about this product

How is the weight of the AirPods Max distributed?
Through a breathable knit mesh headband that spreads the pressure across the head instead of concentrating it, and anodised aluminium ear cups that pivot independently — each ear cup adjusts on its own to the shape of the head.
Does the headband adjustment stay in place?
Yes: the telescoping headband arms stay at the chosen setting. This is the detail that sets premium headphones apart from a notched model, which has to be readjusted every time you put it on.
What is the rated battery life of these Apple headphones?
Up to 20 hours of listening with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio enabled. So the figure already includes its conditions: it is the battery life in the mode in which you actually use these headphones.
What does this generation's noise cancellation change?
It is quoted as up to 1.5 times more effective than that of the previous generation. Transparency mode and Adaptive Audio also let you control how much gets in depending on your surroundings.
Does the music stop when you take the headphones off?
Yes, on-head detection pauses playback as soon as they leave your head. Stored in the Smart Case, the headphones also go into an ultra-low-power state.
What can you do with the Digital Crown on the ear cup?
Control everything without your phone: volume by turning it, play and pause by pressing it, and call handling. It is a mechanical control, so it can be used without looking or taking off your gloves.
How does the spatial audio on these headphones work?
It is personalised and dynamically tracks your head movements: the soundstage stays anchored to the device when you turn your head, instead of moving with the headphones.
Are these headphones comfortable for long listening sessions?
The design is over-ear, with memory foam ear cushions that enclose the ear, under a breathable mesh headband. The whole is designed for extended wear rather than extreme lightness.
Are the Apple AirPods Max 2 Starlight 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.
