Can I use AirPods Max 2 with non-Apple devices?

What is the battery life with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled?

Do I need a special cable for lossless audio?

Yes, you need a USB-C to Lightning cable or a USB-C to USB-C cable (depending on your source device) to achieve lossless audio playback by connecting AirPods Max 2 directly to your device.

Troubleshooting

AirPods Max 2 won't pair

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Reset the AirPods Max 2 by holding the noise control button for 15 seconds until the status light flashes amber, then white. Bring them close to your Apple device and try pairing again.

Audio is distorted or low quality

Check if you are using a wired USB-C connection for lossless audio. Ensure the audio source is compatible and not experiencing streaming issues. Try resetting the AirPods Max 2.

Active Noise Cancellation not working effectively

Make sure the earcups are creating a proper seal around your ears. Clean any debris from the earcups and sensors. Try toggling ANC off and on again via the noise control button.

Live Translation not activating

Verify that your iPhone is running iOS 17.4 or later with Apple Intelligence enabled. Ensure the feature is enabled in your device's settings and that your iPhone is connected to the internet. Live Translation is currently in beta.

Poor battery life

Ensure AirPods Max 2 are stored in the Smart Case when not in use to enable low power mode. Check battery health in your device's Bluetooth settings. Avoid prolonged use of high-volume audio with ANC and Spatial Audio enabled.
