This spring, Apple updated its full-size headphones with the release of the AirPods Max 2 — the new model emphasizes smart audio processing and even deeper active noise cancellation. The accessory has already become one of the brand’s most talked-about releases, so we’ve prepared a detailed review of the new features. Join us as we take a closer look at the new options, design, and sound quality.
AirPods Max 2: Key Features
The second generation of Apple’s flagship headphones features the innovative H2 chip. Compared to the original AirPods Max, the new model blocks out 1.5 times more ambient noise in Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) mode. It also includes a Transparency mode. Key features of the device include:
- Adaptive Audio — the device automatically adjusts the intensity of noise cancellation to adapt to the surrounding environment.
- Lossless Audio support — use the included USB-C cable to get ultra-fast response and enjoy tracks in high-resolution 24-bit/48 kHz audio.
- Voice Isolation technology — algorithms amplify your voice during video calls while simultaneously cutting out background noise.
- Live Translation — communicate with people from other countries without any issues thanks to AI-powered live translation technology. Note, however, that not all languages are supported yet.
- Conversation Awareness — the headset instantly mutes the audio when you start speaking.
The new Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones sensitively track even the slightest movements of the user’s head and adjust the audio accordingly. This makes sounds feel lifelike and even more immersive: you turn your head, and the sound changes. This creates a sense of presence and total immersion.
A bonus is controlling Siri with head gestures. Accept notifications with a nod or decline them by turning your head, and answer calls without taking your phone out of your pocket.
Design and Construction — Are the Headphones Comfortable for Everyday Use?
The headband’s mesh design evenly distributes the device’s weight — play and work without fatigue. The material is highly breathable. Comfort is enhanced by ear cushions made of special memory foam — they fit perfectly over your ears.
The durable aluminum ear cups look stylish. The design is engineered to prevent creaking, and the risk of breakage from accidental drops is low. Thanks to the telescopic mechanism’s secure locking, the headphones stay firmly in place even during active movement, without putting pressure on your head.
How Does The New Model Sound?
Superb sound quality is the main reason to buy the Apple AirPods Max 2. They deliver rich, deep bass and beautifully refined high frequencies. The sound is optimized on the fly thanks to a smart equalizer that accounts for your individual fit and ear anatomy.
The active noise cancellation system can block out any external distractions, whether it’s city noise or the roar of airplane engines. If needed, you can switch to Transparency mode with a single tap. It transmits voices and external sounds without distortion.
The second-generation AirPods Max have set new quality standards in the industry. Thanks to special algorithms, even compressed tracks from streaming services sound clearer and richer. By the way, old movies and vlogs are also more enjoyable to watch.
Dimensions, Weight, and Color
While the headphones have undergone significant technical changes, their design and color options remain the same. The following colors are available to customers:
- Midnight;
- Starlight;
- Blue;
- Purple;
- Orange.
The materials are quite sturdy and durable, and fingerprints aren’t visible on the housing.
The ear cups fully cover the ears. At the same time, the device remains portable and compact: it’s easy to store in the case (included) and put in a bag or backpack.
Battery Life — How Long Do They Last and How Fast Do They Charge?
The new AirPods Max last up to 20 hours with ANC enabled. They support fast charging: for example, a 5-minute charge provides about 1.5 hours of additional playback time. This makes the headphones an indispensable device for those who are always on the go.
