    AirPods Max - tell me, if you have one, what do you really think?

    It’s my birthday week so… after completing a project I was like let’s go do it. Let me treat myself to the worlds most epic headphones you can get for $550… + apple care + headphone cable… which was sold separately! So what was your first impression? They’re been out for a year or more, do you...

    iPhone 13 Pro AirPods Max Background Noise during calls

    Hello everyone, I want to know if people that have AirPods Max are experiencing the same issue as me. Apparently when I’m having a phone call with my AirPods Max connected to my iPhone and I have the ambient noise mode ON or the noise cancelling mode ON, in places where there is a lot of...

    How my year old white AirPod Max’s aged vs my new set

    Got my airpod max’s replaced today, and here is how they stack up to the new ones. I was taken back with how yellow all the white silicone looked. I felt only the mesh had yellowed. I would wash the headband with handwash around once a week or two. And don’t wear them when using any product in...

    AirPods Max Speaker Resistance

    Hello MacRumors Community! Hope you are having a great festive season! I have a question about The AirPods Max: is a loud sound can damage the quality and the physical speakers of the AirPods Max? I'm asking this question because something weird happened to me this afternoon. As I was working...

    Hello, I am owner of AirPods Max. I have connected them to my new MacBook Pro 14" with macOS 12.1. I have noticed that sound on them is quieter then when they are in use with iPhone 12 Pro with newest iOS. I have noticed it in Music app. Volume is maxed out on them in system and in Music app...

    Apple Care + for Airpods Max

    Is it worth getting apple care+ for Airpods Max and what does it actually cover? i.e If the mesh on the headband tears will they repair/replace it? There's not much specifics on what is covered under headphones unless Im not looking properly. Does anyone know? Thanks

    AirPods Max vs. AirPods Pro: Too-soon impressions (kinda disappointed)

    Took the plunge with the $439 AirPods Max deal on Amazon. Thoughts, after having them on for a few hours: • They are hot. I live in Florida, and it’s not hot right now. Can’t quite imagine these in July. • Noise cancelling is really excellent. And here’s the one where I get skewered: • I...

    AirPods Pro & Max - totally different sound between Noise C/Off/Transparent

    I'm not sure if this has only happened since iOS15 as I first noticed it with AirPods Max on an iOS15 Beta on iPad, but can confirm it's the same with AirPods Pro on the latest iOS15 release. The signature and sound quality are completely different between noise cancelling and off/transparent...

    iPhone 13 Pro Max I caved in......

    Well as always I could not control myself 😂 I managed to get a hold of a Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max in 128GB yesterday. Immediately I noticed how stunning the device is and the build quality is exceptional. I instantly noticed the 120HZ refresh rate on the display. Not as noticeable like...

    New AirPods firmware update, 4A400, any improvements?

    Hi! Usually, after a firmware update, the forum is flooded with threads of people complaining about how the firmware has made the sound quality worse, worse ANC, etc. Occasionally there is some praise about improved sound. But this time I have seen no such threads. So, I was wondering if any...

    AirPods Max and Rogue Amoeba SoundSource

    I just tested SoundSource because I was interested in the menu bar metering. That worked as I had hoped, but I also noticed they had something called Headphone EQ. After a bit of clicking around, I found presets for my AirPods Max, three in total. They lighten the bass-heavy sound and provides a...

    Airpods Max losing 10 -12 % battery while sitting idle in the smart case for 24 hours.

    Hello everyone, I just got new Airpods Max and they sound amazing. Paired with iPhone 11 Pro Max (iOS 14.8) Airpods Max Firmware - 3E756 I have tried Factory reset 2 times and Hard reset 3 times, but no avail. I rarely use them like maybe once or twice a week for listening music and I'm...

    I just recently picked up the Airpods Max and have enjoyed the sound quality and integration into the apple eco system, immensely! However in the two days that i’ve had them, i have found them slightly uncomfortable in its clamping and i also feel like the ANC might be giving me slight...

    Airpods Max keep breaking due to condensation?

    Hey everyone, I have a strange issue with my Airpods Max. Here is the story. I bought the Airpods PRO right away when they were released and I love them. Yes, I had the "rattling" issue with them but Apple exchanged them and everything is fine since then. What I love most about the Airpods PRO...

    AirPods Max fizzle out on Mac

    Does anyone else have an issue with their AirPods Max where they "fizzle out" when connected to a Mac? By fizzle out, they'll be fine then you'll encounter some skipping (almost as if you are getting too far way). It gets worse and worse until they ultimately just stop playing. If I take them...

    AirPods Pro and AirPods Max or Sony WF-1000XM4 and Sony HF-1000XM4

    Hi there, friends! First, a short introduction to what this thread is about. I use an iPhone 12 Pro max, and I love to go for walks while listening to music. For years, I've been an "Apple only" man. I've used the original EarPods (from the 3,5mm jack version to the lightning version), the...

    Airpods Max battery consumption while in Smart Case

    Context: Airpods Max, with latest firmware, put in their Smart Case to rest. On the support page How to charge your AirPods Max and learn about battery life, Apple explains that APM should go into low power mode instantly, and into ultra-low power mode after 18 hours. In the last few days I...

    Loud crack + disconnect on AirPods Max (3E756)

    [I read through rattlegate briefly, and searched for "disconnect", but didn't see anything familiar.] My new AirPod Maxes just disconnected with a super sharp crackle. Super loud, ow. It's enough to make me not want to wear them anymore. At the same time, they disconnected and reconnected to...

    AirPods Max First Impressions

    I just got a pair of space grey AirPods max this morning, I am planning on returning them within the allowed period (not because I don't like them) I wanted to buy them to test them out and see if they're worth the money, testing in the apple store isn't as good as taking them home. I paid...
