AirPods Max Features: High Quality Sound bundled with Great Technology & Comfort
The AirPods Max has got many stunning features and that’s why I say “High Quality Sound bundled with Great Technology & Comfort”. The highlight here is the technology used in making this gadget which will surely surprise you.
High-fidelity Audio
The AirPods Max uses powerful H1 chips and advanced software to deliver High-fidelity audio so that you get a great listening experience. Moreover, the software helps in computational audio to deliver the best performance.
Active Noise Cancellation with Transparency Mode
Here, you get an active noise cancellation feature which we all know helps in filtering sound from the surroundings so that the listener can enjoy true music. Some also prefer getting sounds from the environment while listening, that’s where the transparency mode comes into picture. It helps you get the best of both internal and external sounds while preserving quality experience.
Spatial Audio
Suppose you have a habit of constantly moving your head while watching movies or listening to music then you might have to adjust the headphones for proper audio everytime. This issue is solved by the spatial audio feature which delivers great sound in every space and that too in real time. Moreover, you get a cinematic experience with content recorded in dolby and other high quality sound channels.
Stunning Design
The AirPods Max are designed in such a way that any head can adapt to it and that too at best comfort level. The canopy is made from a breathable knit mesh which helps the head band to release pressure on your head by distributing weights. Besides, the mesh wrapped & memory foamed ear cushions give you great comfort. It comes with a button and a digital crown(inspired by Apple watch) which helps in controlling volume & music, receiving calls, and much more.
Adaptive EQ
The Adaptive Equalizer feature gets you the perfect settings automatically so that you get controlled sound for hearing safety. It adjusts low, mid, and high range audio frequencies to create the best match.
Long Lasting Battery
The Apple AirPods Max battery lasts for as long as 20 hrs for active playback. Moreover, you get 1.5 hrs of listening with a 5-minute quick charge. Besides, when you place it in the AirPods Max smart case, it goes into ultra power saving mode so enjoy energy savings!
Auto Switch
You can use your AirPods Max simultaneously on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the Auto Switch feature. For instance, your AirPods are connected to Mac and you get a call on your iPhone then the Auto Switch automatically connects you to the call.
Audio Sharing
Enjoy things like silent disco with friends and family with the Audio Sharing feature. To enjoy this feature, bring all the AirPods near the main device, tap the button on your AirPods, and you are good to go!

Will you go for the Apple AirPods Max? What do you love about this latest innovation from Apple? Feel free to share your opinions via the comments box below.
The headphones have a truly sleek design. I loved the numerous innovative features in the device like the spatial audio, the presence of a microchip itself to aid in noise cancellation, 5 types of sensors, the unique headband design, and the jog dial button. The much needed replaceable magnetic ear pads/cushions are also such a boon. Indeed an Apple-worthy and premium product!
The negatives I see about this product is the weight (384.8 grams) and the super high price tag.
While I got pretty much excited to get my hands on these headphones but the big hole in my pocket made by the heavy price tag forced me down to go back to my chair
P.S. Ironically the original post has been placed in the “Budget Shopping” section. AirPods Max is definitely not a budget shopper’s item.
