About this item

Product details

AirPods Max is the over-ear end of the AirPods line, and this is the USB-C version. The frame is stainless steel under anodised aluminium cups, the canopy is knit mesh that spreads the weight across the crown, and the memory foam cushions attach magnetically so they can be swapped when they wear out.

An H1 chip in each cup runs noise cancellation from eight microphones, Transparency, Adaptive EQ and Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking.

Plug in the USB-C cable and it plays 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio with very low latency.

Sold and shipped by ComBuy. Free shipping on orders over $35.

Questions & answers

Is there a power button?

No. They drop into a very low power state after a few minutes of stillness, and go deeper still when you slide them into the Smart Case. Leaving them out of the case overnight uses a little more battery.

What do I need for lossless audio?

The USB-C cable in the box, connected to a source that supports it, with the headphones updated to current firmware. Over Bluetooth they use Apple's usual codec, not lossless.

Can I plug them into a 3.5mm headphone jack?

Not directly. The port is USB-C, so an aeroplane seat or a stereo amp needs Apple's USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable, which is sold separately.

Do they work with a PC or an Android phone?

Yes, over standard Bluetooth for music and calls, and over USB-C for wired listening. Automatic switching, Personalized Spatial Audio and firmware updates need an Apple device.

Can the ear cushions be replaced?

Yes. Each cushion is held on by magnets, so it pulls straight off and a new one clicks into place. Apple sells replacements in the same colours.
