Apple AirPods Max 2 over-ear headphones are powered by the H2 chip and deliver high-fidelity audio with deep bass, expansive mids, and crisp highs. Active Noise Cancellation is up to 1.5x more effective than the previous generation, while Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Transparency let you move between immersive listening and the world around you.

Personalized Spatial Audio tunes sound to your unique ear shape with dynamic head tracking, and Live Translation lets you press and hold the listening mode button to translate speech into your preferred language. The acoustic-first design pairs a breathable knit-mesh canopy with memory foam and custom textile ear cushions and telescoping arms, and a USB-C connection supports Lossless Audio and charging. Battery life lasts up to 20 hours of listening or movie watching with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled.
