Apple Reveales Over-Ear “AirPods Max”

Apple have launched their new AirPods Max range alongside the original AirPods and AirPods Pro. The new wireless headphones have a number of classic AirPods functionalities with a new over-ear design.

The main AirPods Max features include a custom acoustic design, Adaptive EQ, Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode and spatial audio. The headphones themselves are joined using a knit mesh canopy, distributing weight equally and reducing pressure on the wearer.

The Airpods Max also has 20 hours of audio, talk time or movie playback. The Smart Case puts them into an ultralow power state, allowing battery life to be preserved. The new range will consist of five different colour options, including “Space Gray,” “Silver,” “Sky Blue,” “Green” and “Pink.”

Apple senior vice president Greg Joswick said, “AirPods are the most popular headphones in the world, beloved for their effortless setup, incredible sound quality, and iconic design. With AirPods Max, we are bringing that magical AirPods experience to a stunning over-ear design with high-fidelity audio. The custom acoustic design, combined with powerful H1 chips, and advanced software enable AirPods Max to use computational audio to wirelessly deliver the ultimate personal listening experience.”

Apple’s all-new AirPods Max are available to order from the Apple web store now — priced at £549.
