Apple AirPods Max are engineered for a premium audio experience in various scenarios. When commuting on a busy train or airplane, Active Noise Cancellation significantly reduces engine hum and chatter, allowing you to focus on your music or podcast. Switching to Transparency Mode lets you safely interact with flight attendants or hear announcements without removing the headphones.
For entertainment, Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking transforms movie watching on your iPhone or iPad. It creates a soundstage where audio appears to come from all around you, relative to your device's screen, offering a truly immersive cinematic experience. During phone or video calls, the multiple beamforming microphones ensure your voice is clear, even in noisy environments.
The Digital Crown offers a tactile and precise way to control your audio – a simple turn adjusts volume, while presses handle playback, calls, and Siri. The Adaptive EQ constantly monitors the fit and seal of the ear cushions, fine-tuning frequencies in real-time to deliver consistent, high-fidelity sound that is personalized to your ears.
Initial Pairing (Apple Devices): Simply hold your AirPods Max near your unlocked iPhone or iPad. A setup animation will appear on your screen. Tap 'Connect' and follow the on-screen instructions. They will then automatically pair with all other supported devices signed into your iCloud account.
Pairing (Non-Apple Devices): Press and hold the noise control button on the right ear cup until the status light flashes white. Then, select "AirPods Max" from the Bluetooth settings on your non-Apple device.
Apple Devices: Fully compatible with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and Apple TV running the latest software versions, enabling all advanced features like Spatial Audio and automatic switching.
Other Devices: Can be used as standard Bluetooth headphones with Android phones, Windows PCs, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, though advanced features will not be available.
Cleaning Ear Cushions: The ear cushions are magnetically attached and removable. Gently wipe them with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not submerge them in water.
Cleaning Canopy Mesh and Headband: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For tougher dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
Battery Preservation: Always store your AirPods Max in the Smart Case when not in use. This puts them into an ultra-low-power state, significantly extending battery life.
Charging: Charge using the included Lightning to USB-C cable and a compatible power adapter. Avoid using damaged cables or chargers.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose AirPods Max to extremely hot or cold temperatures, as this can affect battery life and component integrity.
