Introducing AirPods Max
A perfect balance of exhilarating high-fidelity audio and the effortless magic
of AirPods. The ultimate personal listening experience is here.
A radically original composition
The over-ear headphone has been completely re-imagined. From cushion to canopy,
AirPods Max are designed for an uncompromising fit that creates the optimal
acoustic seal for many different head shapes – fully immersing you in
every sound.
- Canopy spanning the headband is made from a breathable knitted mesh, distributing weight to reduce on-head pressure.
- The stainless steel frame is wrapped with a soft-to-the-touch material for a remarkable combination of strength, flexibility and comfort.
- Telescoping arms smoothly extend and stay where you set them, for a consistent fit and seal.
- The beautifully anodised aluminium cups feature a revolutionary mechanism that allows each cup to rotate independently and balance pressure
- A custom-designed mesh textile wraps the ear cushions to provide pillow-like softness while listening.
- Crafted with acoustically engineered memory foam, the ear cushions gently create an immersive seal that is the foundation of incredible sound.
- The Digital Crown lets you precisely control volume, skip between tracks, answer phone calls and activate Siri.
Sounds like an epiphany
AirPods Max combine high-fidelity audio with industry-leading Active Noise
Cancellation to deliver an unparalleled listening experience. Each part of their
custom-built driver works to produce sound with ultra-low distortion across the
audible range. From deep, rich bass to accurate mids and crisp, clean highs,
you'll hear every note with a new sense of clarity.
Immersive listening
To cancel unwanted external sound, AirPods Max use a total of six outward-facing
microphones to detect noise in your environment, and two inward-facing
microphones to measure what you're hearing. Beamforming microphones help isolate
your voice on phone calls, so it's heard clearly – even in windy
situations.
Hear every detail
The Apple-designed dynamic driver produces a wide frequency range that uncovers
the rich details of every sound – delivering your favourite songs with
previously unheard texture and accuracy.
Distortionless playback
Modelled on those in high-end floor-standing speakers, the driver's motor uses
dual neodymium ring magnets to minimise total harmonic distortion across the
entire audible range. The result is consistently clear playback, even at full
volume.
Computational audio. Key to performance
With a powerful Apple-designed H1 chip in each cup, our custom-engineered
acoustic design and advanced software, AirPods Max use computational audio to
create a breakthrough listening experience. By tapping into each
chip's 10 audio cores, computational audio helps block outside noise, adapts
audio to the fit and seal of your ear cushions, and makes movie scenes sound
like they're happening all around you.
- Industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation counters external sound with equal anti-noise, allowing you to immerse yourself in what you're listening to.
- Press the noise control button to switch to Transparency mode, which lets outside sound in so you can interact naturally with your surroundings.
- Adaptive EQ tailors sound to the bespoke fit and seal created by the ear cushions. Inward-facing microphones measure what you're hearing, then adjust the frequencies of your music to deliver a rich, consistent experience that faithfully reproduces every note.
- Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking gives you a cinema-like experience for movies and shows, with sound that surrounds you.1 Using built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max and your iPhone or iPad track the subtle motion of your head, anchoring sounds to your device.
Elaborately simple
AirPods Max inherit all of the wireless, effortless magic of the AirPods family.
From setup to Siri commands, they make the listening experience completely
fluid – day to day, device to device.

iPod touch or Apple TV. Bring any AirPods near the device you're listening to
and connect in a tap.
More magic to play with.
- On-head detection
