6 important things you should know about the new Apple AirPods Max

 

Last Tuesday, Apple announced the new wireless headphones AirPods Max that offer the same experience of the famous Apple headphones AirPods, but with a different design, as these headphones come with a new design to be placed on the head over the ear instead of inside.

AirPods Max combine custom audio design, advanced software, and an H1 processor for computational audio playback for a great listening experience, with Adaptive EQ, Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency and Surround.

It will come at $ 549, which is more expensive than the new iPhone SE, which starts at $ 399, and its price is almost close to the new iPhone 12, which starts at $ 699, while the original AirPods costs $ 199.

Here are 6 important things you should know about the new Apple AirPods Max headphones if you are considering buying them:

1- AirPods Max come without a charger:

AirPods Max will also come without a charger, and this is no longer weired matter, as Apple has provided iPhone 12 also without charger to protect the environment, so it is a new trend that Apple will follow with all its upcoming products.

In the box, you'll find a Smart Case, and a Lightning to USB-C cable, so you'll need a USB-C power adapter to charge the headphones.

Apple says that the headphones can last for 20 hours on a single charge, and keeping them in a Smart Case preserves battery life thanks to the ultra-low power mode.

2- AirPods Max support fast charging feature:

AirPods Max support fast charging feature exactly like: headphones bearing the Beats brand from Apple, providing only 5 minutes of charging and up to an hour and a half of listening time, although you will need to purchase a power adapter for charging.

3- The cushions can be changed:

Apple explained in the AirPods Max presentation video that the cushions are not built into the headphones, and they are designed to be attached magnetically, so you can change them at any time easily.

Apple has also listed the cushions in the same colors as the headphones in its store, and it is expected that Apple will release them on December 15th with the headphones, and it will sell for $ 69.

AirPods Max come in five colors: gray, silver, blue, green, and pink, and are available for now at $ 549, and Apple will start shipping them starting Tuesday, December 15th.

4- AirPods Max are not lightweight:

You should keep in mind before purchasing AirPods Max that they weigh 385 grams, making them among the heaviest headphones available in the market, and they are much heavier than Apple's Beats Studio3, which weighs only 260 grams.

However; Apple has promised that the ergonomic design of the headphones will help distribute the weight more evenly than many other headphones.

Apple said that the frame around the head is made of mesh fabric that distributes the weight of the headphones evenly to relieve pressure on the head, and the stainless steel body is coated with a soft-touch material to provide an amazing combination of durability, flexibility and comfort.

5- You can use an audio cable with the headphones:

AirPods Max support wireless communication with devices via bluetooth, as they support (Bluetooth 5.0) for wireless connectivity, and provide you with up to 20 hours of listening on a single charge, but it turns out that you can use the audio cable (Lightning to 3.5mm) to switch to the connection, which allows you to use the headphones if the battery is low.

But you will have to buy this cable because it is not included in the box, and Apple sells the audio cable (Lightning to 3.5mm) in their store at $ 35, is 1.2 meters long, and is available in black or white, and you can also use it with Apple Beats Solo Pro headphones.

6- You can use the headphones with Android phones:

AirPods Max are designed to work primarily with Apple devices, and Apple insists on running the latest versions of operating systems: iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, macOS and watchOS in its devices to make the better experience of the headphones.

But this does not mean that you will not be able to use it with Android phones or Windows computers, as these headphones depend on the connection to bluetooth, so you can also easily pair them with any other device, whether it is an Android device or any other device that supports bluetooth connection.
