Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones - Orange - USB-C

You can switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode by pressing the Noise Control button located on the top of the right ear cup. You can also control these modes through the Control Center on your iPhone or iPad, or System Settings on your Mac.

Yes, AirPods Max can connect to any Bluetooth-enabled device as standard Bluetooth headphones. However, features like Personalized Spatial Audio, automatic device switching, and 'Hey Siri' functionality are optimized for and primarily available when paired with Apple devices.

This model of AirPods Max features a USB-C port. You can charge them using a USB-C to USB-C cable (usually included) and a compatible USB-C power adapter. The Smart Case puts the AirPods Max into an ultra-low-power state to preserve battery, but it does not charge them.

Personalized Spatial Audio creates an immersive, theater-like listening experience by placing sound all around you. With dynamic head tracking, the sound adapts as you move your head, making it feel like the audio is coming from a fixed point in space, even when you turn. It works with compatible content, including Dolby Atmos tracks.

The ear cushions are magnetically attached and can be removed. Gently wipe the ear cushions and the headband with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. You can use a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe on the exterior surfaces of the earcups, but avoid getting moisture into any openings or on the knitted mesh canopy. Do not submerge them in water.

The Digital Crown provides precise control over various functions. You can rotate it to adjust volume, press it once to play/pause audio or answer a call, press twice to skip forward, press three times to skip back, and press and hold to activate Siri. This tactile control offers a satisfying and accurate user experience.

The Smart Case is designed to protect your AirPods Max and put them into an ultra-low-power state when stored inside. This significantly extends battery life when the headphones are not in use. It does not provide charging functionality itself.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. For Apple devices, bring the AirPods Max close to the device and look for the setup prompt. If unsuccessful, restart both your AirPods Max (press and hold the Digital Crown and Noise Control button until the LED flashes amber, then white) and your source device. If still an issue, try 'Forget This Device' in your Bluetooth settings and re-pair.

Check that the memory foam ear cushions are properly seated and forming a good seal around your ears. An improper seal can significantly reduce ANC performance. Ensure no hair or accessories are interfering with the seal. Also, ensure ANC is enabled in your device's settings or by pressing the Noise Control button.

Ensure your AirPods Max are within range of your connected device (typically 30 feet or 10 meters). Check for sources of interference, such as other wireless devices or strong Wi-Fi signals. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the AirPods Max, or restarting both the headphones and the source device.

Confirm that all your Apple devices are signed into the same iCloud account and running the latest software versions. Check the Bluetooth settings on each device to ensure 'Automatic Switching' is enabled for AirPods Max. Sometimes a simple restart of the devices can resolve this.
