The Apple AirPods Max have a weight of 384.8g, these are higher than 320g, which we consider as the highest average a headphone should weigh for comfort during long use. We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to move with. Over-ear headphones have larger earpads that fit around your entire ear Apple AirPods Max have a comfortable full-size form with earcups that fully enclose your ears.
This design is loved for its increased sound isolation and the fact that it won't leak sound to your neighbors. Apple AirPods Max have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. Active noise cancellation uses more advanced technology to actively counter noise.
How it works, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and then generates a mirror signal to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 outside (noise from your surrounding) and adding -1 inside (counter sound within the device) to make zero hence "diluting" the noise.
Apple AirPods Max allow you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise.
Passive Noise Cancellation uses well-designed ear cups to seal out unwanted noise. This is used for both in-ear earphones and over-ear headphones where the headphone itself will keep surrounding noise out. The Apple AirPods Max sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Apple AirPods Max's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal while at it.
Apple AirPods Max's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Sound pressure is the average variation in atmospheric pressure caused by the sound, the sound level .i.e how loud something is can be perceived differently by different people so we need to have a way of getting an objective measurement of sound level expressed in numerical terms.
The sound pressure level, SPL, is the pressure level of a sound, measured in decibels, dB, Apple AirPods Max's measurement is 109dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone. Apple AirPods Max driver unit is 40mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Impedance is the device's resistance to the electromagnetic current, when electricity flows through a conductor, it faces electrical resistance that counters the flow of current. The resistance of a wire is measured in ohms. Apple AirPods Max's impedance is 47Ohms, the lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Neodymium magnets if used in audio devices produce a higher sensitivity and substantial sound output using less power to do so. They can help produce music at quite a high sound pressure level, SPL, with the use of high magnetic flux. The Apple AirPods Max have this type of magnet.
If your headphones play wirelessly, cancel ambient noise, or enhance your listening experience with active features, their battery life will reduce over time. The device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Apple AirPods Max's battery life is 20 hours
It takes 2 hours to fully charge the Apple AirPods Max's battery.
It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using the headphones for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods. Apple AirPods Max have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging status of your headphones.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. Apple AirPods Max's battery power is 664mAh, more battery power can be an indication of longer battery life. A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
Apple AirPods Max's battery can be recharged and used over again. Apple AirPods Max can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow you more freedom of movement not restricted by a cable. Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves.
Apple AirPods Max has a v5
Apple AirPods Max support AAC, a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances. The Apple AirPods Max can connect at a 10meters distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device. Apple AirPods Max have only 9 microphones, more microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Apple AirPods Max use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments. Apple AirPods Max support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard.
It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re having a jog but would still want to be able to hear traffic. Apple AirPods Max support in/on-ear detection, the sensors in the device can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life and improving your listening experience while at it. Apple AirPods Max have a mute function, they have an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
The mute function means that you unilaterally turn off the microphone, but you can still hear the other party's voice. Apple AirPods Max support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example, you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
There is a control panel on the Apple AirPods Max body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to. Apple AirPods Max can be used as a headset. A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone.
Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc. The period of time that warrant free repair and adjustment services in case of a malfunction occurring under normal use that has followed instruction manuals.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Apple AirPods Max have a warranty period of 1 years
Carrying headphones without a case, or putting them in bags without a casing can easily put them at risk of getting damaged. The Apple AirPods Max come with their own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology that allows sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects. Apple AirPods Max have Dolby Atmos, which allows them to have immersive, 360-degree sound.
