Apple’s new AirPods Max come in a range of colors, these include Space Grey, Silver, Sky Blue, Green, and Pink. The headphones are Apple’s most expensive AirPods to date and retail for $549. These over-ear headphones are designed to deliver high-fidelity audio, active noise cancellation, and a premium listening experience.
Now we have a video from Unbox Therapy, where every color of the new AirPods Max headphones gets unboxed.
Design and Build Quality
The AirPods Max feature a stainless steel frame covered with a soft-touch material, providing both durability and comfort. The ear cups are made from anodized aluminum and are attached to the headband with a unique mechanism that balances and distributes ear cup pressure. The memory foam ear cushions create an effective seal for immersive sound. The Digital Crown, inspired by the Apple Watch, allows for precise volume control, playback, and answering phone calls.
We have already seen some reviews of the new AirPods Max, and they appear to have decent sound quality. The headphones are equipped with custom-built drivers that deliver deep bass, accurate mid-range frequencies, and crisp high notes. The computational audio technology, powered by the Apple-designed H1 chip in each ear cup, uses advanced software to deliver a breakthrough listening experience.
Features and Performance
One of the standout features of the AirPods Max is their active noise cancellation (ANC). The headphones use six outward-facing microphones to detect environmental noise and two inward-facing microphones to measure what you’re hearing. This allows the AirPods Max to adapt to the fit and movement in real-time, ensuring optimal noise cancellation. Additionally, the Transparency mode lets you hear and interact with the world around you while still enjoying your music.
Another notable feature is the spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. This technology uses gyroscopes and accelerometers in the AirPods Max and your iOS device to track the motion of your head and device, remapping the sound field so it stays anchored to your device even as your head moves. This creates a theater-like experience for content recorded in 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos.
What does seem to be unpopular about them is the case that they come with and its interesting design. The Smart Case, which puts the AirPods Max in an ultralow-power state to preserve battery charge, has been criticized for its unconventional look and lack of protection for the headband.
The new AirPods Max are now available to buy, although you will have to wait a while as Apple’s website is showing delivery for them in February. It looks like these new headphones could end up being a popular device for Apple. Despite the high price tag, the combination of premium materials, advanced audio technology, and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem makes the AirPods Max an attractive option for audiophiles and Apple enthusiasts alike.
