FAQs
How do I switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode?
You can switch between these modes by pressing the noise control button on the right ear cup. You can also control these modes from your connected Apple device in the Control Center or Bluetooth settings.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
AirPods Max provide up to 20 hours of listening time, movie playback, or talk time with Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode enabled.
Can I use AirPods Max with non-Apple devices?
Yes, AirPods Max can function as standard Bluetooth headphones with any Bluetooth-enabled device, including Android phones and Windows PCs. However, features like automatic switching and Spatial Audio are exclusive to Apple devices.
What is the Smart Case for?
The Smart Case protects your AirPods Max and puts them into an ultra-low power state to preserve battery charge when not in use. It is recommended to always store them in the case.
Are the ear cushions replaceable?
Yes, the ear cushions attach magnetically and can be easily removed and replaced. Replacement ear cushions are available for purchase.
How do I charge my AirPods Max?
You charge AirPods Max using the included USB-C to Lightning cable. Connect the Lightning end to the port on the bottom of the right ear cup, and the USB-C end to a compatible power adapter (sold separately) or USB-C port.
Do AirPods Max have a headphone jack for wired connection?
AirPods Max do not have a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. To use them wired, you will need to purchase a separate Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable adapter.
Troubleshooting
AirPods Max won't connect or pair.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. For Apple devices, try bringing AirPods Max closer to your unlocked device. For other devices, press and hold the noise control button until the status light flashes white, then re-attempt pairing. If issues persist, try forgetting the device in Bluetooth settings and pairing again.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) isn't working effectively.
Check that the ear cushions have a good seal around your ears; adjust the fit for optimal performance. Ensure the ANC mode is activated using the noise control button on the right ear cup. Also, check for firmware updates for your AirPods Max through your connected Apple device.
Battery drains quickly even when not in use.
Always place your AirPods Max back into their Smart Case when not in use. The Smart Case puts them into an ultra-low power state, significantly conserving battery life. If left outside the case, they remain active for longer periods.
Sound quality seems poor or distorted.
Verify the audio source quality. Try connecting to a different device or playing different audio. Reset your AirPods Max by holding the Digital Crown and noise control button simultaneously until the LED light flashes amber, then white.
Digital Crown or noise control button is unresponsive.
Ensure the buttons are free of debris. Try restarting your AirPods Max by holding the Digital Crown and noise control button until the LED light flashes amber, then white. If the issue persists, ensure your device's software is up to date.
