Dive Deeper

AirPods Max 2 are the only over-ear Apple branded headphones built for the best listening experience with the support for lossless audio.

To use AirPods Max 2 with lossless audio, a cable is required - this is sold separately.

Design

Aluminium ear cups, stainless steel frame with a mesh top canopy available in Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple and Orange.

Battery

Apple rates AirPods Max 2 with up to 20 hours on a single charge and the device can enter an ultra-low-power state when in the case.

5 minutes in the case gives about an hour and a half of listening time.
