Get the highlights.

All the vivid details.

AirPods Max deliver stunningly detailed, high-fidelity audio for an unparalleled listening experience. Each part of the custom-built driver works to produce sound with ultra-low distortion across the audible range — so you’ll hear every note with a new sense of clarity.

Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking3 gives you a theater‑like experience with sound that surrounds you for movies, TV shows, and games. Using built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max and your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV track the subtle motion of your head, anchoring sounds to your device.

Adaptive EQ tailors sound to the bespoke fit and seal created by the ear cushions. Inward-facing microphones measure what you’re hearing, then adjust the frequencies of your music to deliver a rich, consistent experience that faithfully reproduces every note.

Lossless Audio preserves every detail of the original recording, whether you’re enjoying a movie or music. Simply connect AirPods Max to your device by USB‑C to enable Lossless Audio content. If you create your own audio in apps like Logic Pro and GarageBand, you’ll also get ultra-low latency on par with the built-in speakers on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Unheard-of sound.

Everything designed in perfect harmony.

From cushion to canopy, AirPods Max are designed for an uncompromising fit with unequalled comfort that creates the optimal acoustic seal for many different head shapes — fully immersing you in every sound.

Effortless.With encore-ready power.
