Hello guys! How’s the battery life of your airpods max? How do you store them? I noticed if I put my apm on my headphone stand it lasted longer than putting them on the case. Plus you can see the battery percentage on your Iphone. How’s yours?

I use mine with noise cancelling off, and it seems about 25 hours listening time at 75% volume, so pretty good
Problem is. ....they drain battery when not in use, around 10% per day even if never used
Apple really need to put a power off option on these. Or at the very least, let us choose how long they remain on for when set down.

My battery life is good. Use them a lot every day, and charge them about once every two days.

if they run out of battery, and I want to listen then I switch to a different pair of Bluetooth headphones that I have and in a little bit I can switch back.

I listen about 6-7 hours a day. Then I put them on a stand in between. I get about 2.5 days before they are about 25% and then I charge them.

Couldn’t agree more ? I hope for the next updates they’ll include apm for us to have the toggle on/off.?

Likewise bro almost everyday from the day I bought them I used them non stop and happy with the battery. Just a toggle for on/off and it’ll be perfect imho?

Yea. Real happy with the battery life. I always charge them to a 100% I think having the stand helps. Before I got it, used to just lay them down and I would have to charge every day. It may also help that I have a 30w fast brick, they charge up in less than an hour.

Do you just have them connected to just your iPhone or are you also using them with an iPad/Apple TV etc

They are usually connected to one of my two iPads. Rarely use the phone. Maybe about 20% of the time, have them also connected to my watch as I use them for walks or when I don’t have an iPad with me.

Hello, everyone! Rather than create a new thread, I thought I’d just ask here.

I put my APM with 91% battery in its case at 4:06 a.m., then took it out later at 1:54 p.m. It showed having 87% charge.

Is that a normal rate of battery drain while in the case? I’m on firmware 3E756.
