Unique headband canopy

A canopy spanning the headband made from a breathable knitted mesh evenly distributes weight to reduce on-head pressure.

Stainless steel frame

Wrapped with a soft-to-the-touch material the stainless steel frame provides a remarkable combination of strength, flexibility and comfort.

Telescoping arms

Unlike other headphones, there are no annoying ratcheting clicks when adjusting. The Apple AirPods Max's telescoping arms smoothly extend and stay where you set them.

Anodised aluminium cups

The beautifully anodised aluminium cups feature a revolutionary mechanism that allows each cup to rotate independently and balance pressure.

• Soft mesh textile | A custom-designed mesh textile wraps the ear cushions to provide pillow-like softness while listening.
• Memory foam | Crafted with acoustically engineered memory foam, the ear cushions gently create an immersive seal that is the foundation of incredible sound.

High-end Sound with industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation

AirPods Max combines 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.

Computational Audio
With a powerful Apple‑designed H1 chip in each cup plus custom‑engineered acoustic design and advanced software, AirPods Max use computational audio to create a breakthrough listening experience.

• By tapping into each H1 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, letting outside sound in so you can interact naturally with your surroundings.

Adaptive EQ
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.

Head-tracking sound
Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking gives you a theatre-like experience for movies and shows recorded in 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos. 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.

Immersive listening | Active Noise Cancellation

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.

• 6 noise detecting microphones
• 2 microphones measure what you're hearing
• Beamforming microphones help isolate your voice for calls

Hear every detail | Apple-designed wide-frequency-driver

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 | Dual neodymium ring magnets

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.
