Troubleshooting
AirPods Max won't connect or pair with my device.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Place AirPods Max in their Smart Case for 10 seconds, then remove them to 'wake' them up. If issues persist, try a factory reset: Press and hold the noise control button and the Digital Crown for about 15 seconds until the LED flashes amber, then white.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Transparency mode isn't working effectively.
Check that the ear cushions are properly seated and forming a good seal around your ears. Ensure there's no obstruction on the microphones or sensors. Try restarting your AirPods Max by placing them in the Smart Case and then taking them out. If still an issue, try resetting your AirPods Max.
Sound quality is poor or distorted.
Check your device's audio source to ensure it's playing high-quality audio. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your AirPods Max. Ensure your device's software and AirPods Max firmware are up to date. Also, try playing audio from a different device to rule out a source issue.
