Apple AirPods Max 2 Bluetooth Overhead Wireless Stereo Headphones - Starlight

Listening remastered with AirPods Max 2.

Superior sound down to a science:
Transformed by the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 deliver more stunningly detailed, high‑fidelity audio. A new high dynamic range amplifier adds even more headroom used by the custom‑built driver to reveal richer bass, more natural vocals, and precise instrument localization across a wider soundstage.

Unmake some noise:
Improved Active Noise Cancellation. Now powered by the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 get more immersive by reducing even more undesirable noise — up to 1.5x more Active Noise Cancellation than the previous generation. New computational audio algorithms counter more external sound with equal anti‑noise — without compromising sound quality.

Conversation Awareness:
When you start speaking, Conversation Awareness automatically lowers the volume of what you’re listening to and amplifies the voices in front of you — helping you stay connected and making conversations feel natural. And when you’re done talking, your music seamlessly returns to its previous volume.

Loud Sound Reduction and Personalized Volume: On by default in Transparency and Adaptive Audio listening modes, Loud Sound Reduction automatically helps reduce louder environmental sounds while preserving the audio quality. And Personalized Volume2 learns to adjust your volume across different environments over time, ensuring the perfect listening experience no matter where you are.

Effortless. With encore-ready power:
Up to 20 hours of listening or movie watching with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled.

Automatic Switching and on-head detection:
If you’re playing music on your Mac, you’ll be able to answer a call on your iPhone — without having to switch devices. Your AirPods Max sense when you take it off your head and will pause playback until you put it back on.
