Apple AirPods Max (Sky Blue)

Apple uses six outward-facing microphones to measure distracting ambient sounds, and then neutralizes it with anti-noise. This is meant to isolate you with only the audio you want to hear. During playback two additional inward-facing microphones measure what you’re hearing, and then use adaptive EQ to adjust frequencies for a consistent experience and faithful audio reproduction.

When active noise cancelling mode is on, you can easily chat with others or listen in on your surroundings without taking off your AirPods Max. Simply press the dedicated noise control button to active transparency mode, and let outside sounds back in.

Included with the Airpods Max is Apple’s Smart Case, which conveniently stores the headphones and puts them into an ultra-low-power state to preserve battery life.

Over-ear headphones can be cumbersome to wear for long periods of time, which is why Apple redesigned the headband of the AirPods Max to incorporate a breathable knit mesh canopy. This canopy is designed to optimally distribute the weight of the headphones to reduce on-head pressure. It’s connected to two earcups that sport a mesh textile-wrapped memory foam for pillow-like softness.

Each anodized aluminum earcup rotates independently to further balance pressure and improve comfort. Telescoping arms extend smoothly and stay in place to ensure the earcups maintain a precise fit. The entire AirPods Max durable stainless steel frame is wrapped in a soft-touch material to give them a premium look and feel.

The sounds around you can not only distract you as you listen, but they can ruin conversations as well. When paired with an iPhone for hands-free calling, the AirPods Max uses three microphones and beamforming technology to focus on your voice and ensure that it’s transmitted clearly.

With the AirPods Max, Siri is always on and ready to help. Get directions, weather forecasts, listen to your schedule, and more. Siri will even speak incoming messages to you when they arrive with the Announce Messages feature. You can then tell Siri to respond via voice command.

Sensors built into the AirPods Max will detect when they are removed and will automatically pause your audio. Audio will automatically resume when the AirPods Max detect that you’ve placed them back on your head.
