Apple AirPods Max
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.
The canopy spanning the headband is made from a breathable knitted mesh, distributing weight to minimize 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 enables 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 allows you to precisely control volume, skip between tracks, answer phone calls and activate Siri.
Audio quality
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 create sound with ultra-low distortion across the audible range. From deep, rich bass to accurate mids and crisp, clean highs, you will 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 are hearing. Beamforming microphones help isolate your voice on phone calls, so it is heard clearly — even in windy situations.
Distortionless playback
Modelled on those in high-end floor-standing speakers, the driver's motor utilizes 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 utilize 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 are happening all around you.
Industry‑leading Active Noise Cancellation counters external sound with equal anti‑noise, enabling you to immerse yourself in what you're listening to.
Press the noise control button to switch to Transparency mode, which allows 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 provides you a cinema‑like experience for movies and shows, with sound that surrounds you. Utilizing built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max and your iPhone or iPad track the subtle motion of your head, anchoring sounds to your device.
Magical experience
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.

More magic to play with.
On-head detection
AirPods Max pause audio when you take them off, and resume playback when you put them back on. So you never miss a beat.
Announce Messages
Let Siri read your incoming messages to you as they arrive with Announce Messages. And you can even tell Siri to respond — no hands required.
Always-on Siri
Get directions, check the weather, schedule a meeting and more with a simple “Hey Siri”. With an expansive set of commands, your favourite personal assistant is more helpful than ever.
A case with staying power.
When stored in their soft, slim Smart Case, AirPods Max enter an ultra‑low‑power state that preserves charge.
A battery that keeps stayin' alive.
