Can I use AirPods Max 2 with Android devices?
Yes, AirPods Max 2 can connect to Android devices via Bluetooth for basic audio playback and calls. However, advanced features like Spatial Audio, Live Translation, Adaptive Audio, and seamless device switching are exclusive to Apple devices.
How long does the battery last?
You can expect up to 20 hours of listening time or playback with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled on a single charge.
How do I clean the ear cushions?
The memory foam ear cushions can be gently removed and wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching. Avoid using harsh cleaners.
