The Apple AirPods Max in Gold are premium over-ear headphones designed for audiophiles and Apple ecosystem users seeking an unparalleled listening experience. They deliver high-fidelity audio, industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation, and immersive Spatial Audio.

High-Fidelity Audio: Custom-built dynamic drivers deliver rich bass, accurate mids, and crisp highs with ultra-low distortion across the audible range, ensuring a detailed sound experience.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Pro-level noise cancellation employs six outward-facing and two inward-facing microphones to effectively block out external environmental sounds, creating a deeply immersive listening space.

The Apple AirPods Max are engineered for exceptional audio performance across various scenarios. For commuters, the Active Noise Cancellation profoundly silences engine hums and chatter, making your train or bus ride a private concert hall. When walking in a city, Transparency mode allows you to stay safe and aware of traffic and announcements without removing the headphones. This balance makes them versatile for both immersive listening and situational awareness.
Music lovers will appreciate the high-fidelity audio with its custom drivers, delivering studio-quality sound that uncovers new details in favorite tracks, from the subtle strum of a guitar to the full impact of a bass line. The Adaptive EQ constantly fine-tunes the audio to your ear's unique fit and environment, ensuring consistent sound quality regardless of minor head movements or repositioning.
For media consumption, Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking is a game-changer. Watching a film, you'll experience sound placed around you, mimicking a multi-speaker setup, with audio remaining fixed to the screen even as you turn your head, making you feel truly immersed in the action, whether it's a thrilling explosion or a quiet dialogue.
Voice calls are remarkably clear, even in noisy or windy conditions, thanks to the beamforming microphones that intelligently isolate your voice from background noise. With up to 20 hours of battery life, you can enjoy extended listening sessions, and a quick 5-minute charge provides 1.5 hours of playback when you're in a hurry, making them suitable for long travel or busy days.
Charge Your AirPods Max: Connect the included USB-C to USB-C cable to the AirPods Max and a power adapter (sold separately) or a compatible USB-C port. A quick 5-minute charge provides 1.5 hours of listening.
Pair with Apple Devices: Hold AirPods Max near your unlocked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Follow the on-screen animation to connect. They will automatically pair with all supported Apple devices signed into your iCloud account.
Pair with Non-Apple Devices: Press and hold the Noise Control button (located on the right ear cup) for approximately 5 seconds until the status light flashes white. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your device and select "AirPods Max" from the list of available devices.
AirPods Max are compatible with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac models, Apple Watch, and Apple TV running the latest software versions.
They can also connect to non-Apple devices via Bluetooth 5.0, though some advanced features like Spatial Audio, seamless device switching, and "Hey Siri" may be unavailable or limited.
Cleaning: Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to gently clean the ear cushions and canopy. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or submerge the headphones in water. The ear cushions are magnetically attached and can be removed for separate cleaning according to Apple's guidelines (Info needed: specific Apple cleaning guidelines for ear cushions).
Storage: Always store AirPods Max in their Smart Case when not in use. The Smart Case protects them from damage and automatically puts them into an ultra-low power state to significantly preserve battery charge.
Charging: Use only the provided USB-C cable or an Apple-certified alternative. Ensure the charging port is dry before connecting any cable.
Temperature: Avoid exposing AirPods Max to extreme hot or cold temperatures, as this can affect battery life and performance. Keep them within typical operating and storage temperature ranges (Info needed: specific temperature ranges if available).
