APM volume outside of Apple Music
Hi everyone, So I bought a pair of APM, coming from the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless. First thing I noticed was that the Airpods Max are definitely a bit "quieter" when it comes to volume. The M3s are very loud headphones. That's not a big issue when listening to Apple Music as music is more... -

For the price, Can’t beat the Max
Having a stereo HomePod pair, I believe they sound better. However, I am amazed with the nuances that were previously unheard. this is a stellar product and I believe the best wireless product. Bluetooth headphones are crap, and I’m not for wires which has way better options than these... -

AirPods Max lightning to 3.5 mm cable alternatives
I have the official Apple cable and it's... fine. I'm hoping to find something a little thicker and preferably braided for better durability. All the Lightning to 3.5 mm cables I've found on Amazon or elsewhere either make no mention of the AirPods Max or specifically say they don't work...- Daguerratype

Hopefully get some help on this one... I've got the APM Pink connected to a MBP 15" 2019. I'm scrubbing through Premier Pro, and when there's a section of audio that's significantly louder than the background music playing from Spotify/Music, my APM automatically reduces the volume for me... -

Keyboard shortcut to activate AirPods (Max) on demand on a Mac
I'm one of those who like to have a keyboard shortcut for everything. AirPods auto-switching works better with iOS and iPadOS than it does with my M1 Macbook Air. Also, I dislike having to click Connect every time with the trackpad. I want a keyboard shortcut key that I can press just in case...- petterihiisila

Loose Airpods Max Earcup
I already own a pair of the APM but was checking local availability after reading an article of how supply is limited everywhere. I noticed that Best Buy had an Open-Box Excellent pair of APM for only $460! So I purchased with the thought of gifting to a sibling and they arrived today. As soon... -

AirPods Max Ear Cushions - Now Available
Ear cushions are now available to order. FYI. My pre-order on the black cushions are preparing to ship. For those who want to customize theirs. I would also advise washing them before wearing as I’ve had allergic reaction on both of my APMs. Washing these took that allergic chemical away (or... -

AirPods Max much better "sound" on iOS than macOS
Can't quite put my finger on it - but does anyone else seem to find the AirPods Max sound much better when playing from an iPhone/iPad than a Mac? Music seems to just sound worse when playing from the Mac. Apple Music btw.- merrickdrfc

Returned your AirPods Max?
I’m curious for those that returned the AirPods Max, what did you purchase instead? I returned my AirPods Max mainly because of the weight of the earcups. Over time, it was bothersome. But I really miss the sound quality. Picked up the Bose 700 headphones which are lighter and way more... -
APM not auto switching audio
I have the setting in my iPhone set to automatic for audio switching, but if I am using my iPad and my phone is not being used (screen is off, no notifications , etc) the audio from my iPad will come through the iPad speakers and not my Airpods max. I have to manually switch the audio to my APM...- NikkiAngel

AirPods Max Smart Case Epiphany.
So uh... I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but... I've last track of how many times people have called attention to the fact that the little cutout/notch in the APM Smart Case is not properly lined up with the lightning port. Almost all of these people comment on how "it...- Ryanoceros

Inconsistent Noise Cancellation? (AirPods Max)
So I’ve had my AirPods Max for about two weeks now. Is it just me, or does the Noise Cancelling change in correlation to how your turn your head and the location of the sound source? Or is this normal? I’m on my second pair now (due to colour change) and I’m noticing this on both pairs. Does... -

AirPods Max automatic switching fail
Dear all, I just goy myself some AirPods Max. The automatic switching works great from my MBPr to my iPhone Xs, but it never works from my iPhone Xs to my MBPr. Apparently, browsing Reddit suggests that many owners of AirPods and AirPods Pro are in the same situation. If you are experiencing... -

AirPods Max ANC: Does it learn over time?
Edit: Doesn't look like it does. But the ANC performs well nevertheless. Original post: *** Here's an observation. I got my pair yesterday. Out of the box the ANC was pretty much on par with my Bose NC700, more or less. There are certain rattling fans and whirring freezers in this house that...- petterihiisila
