FAQs
How do I check the battery level of my AirPods Max?

Can I use AirPods Max for phone calls?
Yes, AirPods Max feature beamforming microphones that isolate your voice for clear calls, even in noisy or windy environments.
What is the purpose of the Smart Case?
The Smart Case protects your AirPods Max and automatically puts them into an ultra-low power state to significantly preserve battery charge when not in use.
Are AirPods Max waterproof or water-resistant?

How do I switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode?

How does Spatial Audio work?
Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking uses gyroscopes and accelerometers to track your head movements and the device's movements, creating a three-dimensional audio experience that makes sound seem to come from all around you, fixed to the screen.
Can I replace the ear cushions on AirPods Max?

Troubleshooting
AirPods Max won't turn on or respond.
Ensure the headphones are charged. Connect them to a power source using the USB-C cable for at least 5-10 minutes. If unresponsive, try a force restart by simultaneously pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the Noise Control button for about 10 seconds until the LED flashes amber, then white.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Transparency mode isn't working correctly.
Check that the ear cushions are properly seated and forming a good seal around your ears. Ensure there's no obstruction on the microphones. Try switching between ANC and Transparency mode using the Noise Control button. If the issue persists, try resetting AirPods Max by disconnecting and reconnecting them to your device or performing a force restart.
Poor sound quality or distorted audio.
Ensure your audio source is of high quality. Check the Bluetooth connection stability and move closer to your paired device. Clean the ear cushions and speaker mesh gently to remove any debris. If connected to an Apple device, check for any available software updates for your AirPods Max.
AirPods Max not pairing with my device.
For Apple devices, ensure Bluetooth is enabled and hold the AirPods Max close to the device, following on-screen prompts. For non-Apple devices, press and hold the Noise Control button until the status light flashes white, then select 'AirPods Max' in your device's Bluetooth settings. If issues persist, try restarting both your AirPods Max and the device you're trying to pair with.
