FAQs
How do I switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode?
Press the Noise Control button located on the top of the right ear cup. Each press will cycle between Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, and Off (if enabled in settings).
Can I use AirPods Max with Android phones or other non-Apple devices?
Yes, AirPods Max can connect to Android phones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. However, advanced features like Spatial Audio, automatic switching, and 'Hey Siri' will not be available, and you'll manage playback directly from your device.
What is Personalized Spatial Audio and how does it work?
Personalized Spatial Audio creates an immersive, theater-like listening experience by placing sound all around you. It uses dynamic head tracking to keep sounds anchored to your device even as you move your head, making audio feel like it's coming from specific directions in a 3D space, especially with Dolby Atmos content.
How do I charge my AirPods Max?
Connect the included USB-C to USB-C cable to the USB-C port on the bottom of the right ear cup and plug the other end into a compatible USB-C power adapter (sold separately) or a USB-C port on a computer.
How do I clean the ear cushions?
Gently remove the magnetic ear cushions from the ear cups. Wipe them with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not soak or use abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
Do AirPods Max fully power off?
When placed in the Smart Case, AirPods Max enter an ultra-low power state to conserve battery. After 18 hours out of the Smart Case and motionless, or 72 hours in the Smart Case, they enter an even lower power mode that completely turns off Bluetooth and Find My.
Can I replace the ear cushions?
Yes, the ear cushions are magnetically attached and can be easily removed and replaced. New ear cushions can be purchased separately if needed.
Troubleshooting
AirPods Max won't connect or pair with my device.
Ensure your AirPods Max are charged and placed near your Apple device. Try turning Bluetooth off and on again on your device. If using a non-Apple device, put AirPods Max into pairing mode by holding the Noise Control button until the status light flashes white.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Transparency Mode isn't working correctly.
Check that the Noise Control button has been pressed to cycle between modes. Ensure the ear cushions form a good seal around your ears. If issues persist, try restarting your AirPods Max by holding the Digital Crown and Noise Control button until the status light flashes amber, then release.
Spatial Audio is not activating or working.
Verify that you are playing compatible content (e.g., movies, TV shows, or music with Dolby Atmos) on a supported Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac). Ensure Personalized Spatial Audio is enabled in your device's Bluetooth settings for AirPods Max.
Battery drains quickly even when not in use.
Always store your AirPods Max in the Smart Case when not in use. While the Smart Case puts them into an ultra-low power mode, it does not fully power them off immediately. For longer storage, a full power-off happens after 72 hours in the Smart Case, or after 18 hours out of the case and motionless.
Audio quality is poor or distorted.
Check your audio source for quality issues. Ensure there are no physical obstructions or dirt on the speaker grilles. Try resetting your AirPods Max to factory settings if the problem continues. (Hold Digital Crown and Noise Control button for 15 seconds until status light flashes amber, then white).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your AirPods Max is remarkably simple, especially within the Apple ecosystem:
- Charge: Before first use, ensure your AirPods Max are sufficiently charged using the included USB-C cable.
- Pairing: Bring your AirPods Max, housed in their Smart Case, near your unlocked iPhone or iPad. A setup animation will appear on your device's screen.
- Connect: Tap `Connect` on your screen. If you have multiple Apple devices (like an iPhone, iPad, and Mac) signed in with the same Apple ID, your AirPods Max will automatically set up with all of them.
- Fit: Adjust the telescopic arms to find a comfortable and secure fit. The ear cushions are magnetic and can be easily removed if needed.
Compatibility
- Apple Devices: AirPods Max are fully compatible with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and iPod touch models running the latest software versions. You'll experience features like automatic switching, Spatial Audio, and Siri integration.
- Other Devices: While AirPods Max can connect to non-Apple devices via Bluetooth, advanced features such as Spatial Audio, automatic switching, and seamless pairing may not be available.
Care
Proper care helps maintain the performance and longevity of your AirPods Max:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the ear cushions and canopy with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not immerse them in water or use harsh cleaning agents. The ear cushions are magnetically attached and can be removed for easier cleaning or replacement.
- Storage: Always store your AirPods Max in the Smart Case when not in use. This protects them from scratches and puts them into an ultra-low power state to preserve battery life, though it does not fully power them off.
- Charging: Use the provided USB-C cable for charging. Avoid exposing the charging port to moisture or debris.
- Moisture: AirPods Max are not waterproof or water-resistant. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, rain, or sweat.
