Apple AirPods Max 2 Purple

The sound. Remastered.

Enhanced high-fidelity sound. Deep bass, natural mids, and precise treble.

A closer look.

AirPods Max are designed for unparalleled comfort and optimal noise isolation. Just focus on the music and forget about everything else.

Press the Digital Crown once to play or pause music, take a photo, record a video, or mute or unmute the microphone during a call. Press it twice to skip to the next song or hang up, and control the volume with a twist.

The headband mesh, made of a breathable braided material, distributes the weight of the headphones to reduce pressure.

The ear pads, made of memory foam and an exclusive mesh fabric, envelop your ears and provide impeccable acoustics with maximum comfort.

The headphones, made of anodized aluminum, have a mechanism that allows you to rotate them independently to your liking and thus balance the pressure.

The telescopic arms extend easily and lock into place, ensuring a very precise fit and superior insulation.

Sound tuned with science.

Supercharged with the H2 chip, AirPods Max 2 deliver high-fidelity sound with stunning detail. The new high dynamic range amplifier gives the custom-designed driver even more headroom. The result? Deeper bass, more natural vocals, and precise instrument localization across a wider soundstage.

Adaptive EQ has been completely redesigned for the H2 chip. Its function is to modify the sound based on the isolation and fit of the ear pads to ensure flawless playback regardless of the position of the headphones, your movements, or the shape of your ears. Inward-facing microphones analyze what you hear and modify the sound in real time to provide an even more incredible experience where every note sounds as it was played, even at the highest frequencies.

Connect AirPods Max 2 to your device via USB-C and get ready to be amazed by lossless audio and ultra-low latency: every detail of the original recording is preserved so you can enjoy music and movies exactly as they were meant to be heard. If you're a gamer, ultra-low latency will take your gaming to the next level by eliminating lag and making the experience even more immersive.⁵

Thanks to personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, watching shows, movies, and playing games is like being at the cinema, with sound coming from all directions. Through built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max and your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV track your movements to lock the sound to your device.

No noise.

Improved active noise cancellation. AirPods Max 2 harness the full power of the H2 chip to further reduce distracting noise and deliver an immersive experience, with up to 1.5 times more active noise cancellation than the previous generation. New computational audio algorithms neutralize outside noise and help you focus on what you want to hear without compromising sound quality. You heard right.

Adaptive audio automatically adjusts noise cancellation levels based on your surroundings, providing optimal sound quality anywhere, whether in the quiet of an office or a bustling café. You can also press the listening mode button to switch to ambient sound mode and return to the real world.

Real-time translation powered by Apple Intelligence. Communicating with people who speak other languages is easier than you think. Just press and hold the Listen Mode button, and AirPods Max 2 will translate what the other person is saying into your preferred language.

Conversation Detection. When you start speaking, this feature automatically lowers the volume of what you're listening to and amplifies nearby voices. This way, you don't miss a thing and conversations flow naturally. As soon as you stop speaking, the music returns to its previous volume.

Loud Noise Reduction and Custom Volume. In Ambient Sound and Adaptive Audio modes, Loud Noise Reduction is enabled by default to attenuate excessively loud noises without compromising sound quality. Meanwhile, Custom Volume learns to adjust the volume based on your surroundings so you hear what matters at any given moment.

Easy to connect. Hard to run out of power.

Battery life. Enjoy up to 20 hours of audio or video playback with active noise cancellation and spatial audio enabled.

Siri, ready to take your commands. Play music, make calls, get directions, or check your calendar by saying "Hey Siri." You can even nod or shake your head when Siri asks if you want to answer a call, listen to a message, or manage a notification.

Automatic switching and usage detection. If you're listening to music on your Mac and receive a call on your iPhone, you can answer without switching devices. Additionally, AirPods Max detect when you remove them and pause your music until you put them back in.

Audio Sharing. To share what's playing, you can connect another pair of AirPods to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV with just a tap.

USB-C charging. The USB-C connector lets you charge AirPods Max 2 with the same cable you use for your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other Apple devices.

Smart Case. When you store them in the flexible, compact Smart Case, AirPods Max go into ultra-low power mode.
