AirPods Max 2: What To Expect

Apple’s AirPods Max are rumored to be updated by the end of 2024, with several changes that customers have wanted for years. So here’s what we can expect. Starting with new colors.

[@miro007ist]

This channel gives off late 2000s early 2010s nostalgic vibe

[@lestagez]

omg i always felt like that. you just put it into words for my thoughts

[@ObviouslyMegamind]

Why?

[@Annielogue_YT]

I agree. It’s kinda sad that they removed green but purple is my favorite color

[@aurangzebzeb7259]

100 percent😅😅😅

[@tcsnowdream9975]

Yeah, it needs that 2024 aesthetic update: “YOYOYO, WAZZUP ITSYABOI ________ HERE!” Followed up by 5 minutes of stupid non sequitur updates, paid sponsorship, more random yelling, “smash that like button,” more previews of upcoming unrelated videos, more non sequitur clips from previous episodes with stupid :O face reactions. Now the intro, cutaway gag, intro HYPE… continue on for 30 minutes then give 2min of actual info buried at the 45:14 mark. Repeat everything as an outro. Boom, 90 minutes of content for 2 minutes of information. KZbin 2024… let’s do it brah.

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

They should include an aux input. Being able to use them when the batteries inevitably die should be a base expectation for headphones. Sony’s Bluetooth headphones can operate as wired headphones with no battery, apple has an adapter for lightning to headphone for the AirPods Max but it still requires them to be powered on which defeats half of the purpose of having aux input

[@omaw.]

the battery life them is insane… i don’t see a reason why you’d need to use them after they die unless you seriously don’t have a life lol

[@christianeverything450]

@@omaw. if you make songs in GarageBand like I do it reduces it reduces delay

[@alb3rto807]

I have the Max 1. Very cool headphones, especially for people in the Apple ecosystem. However, I have to say that after 1.5 years they are no longer good, at least not without third-party gadgets from Amazon. The headband at the top is very stretched from wearing them a lot. This puts all the weight on the two supports, which is incredibly uncomfortable if you wear them for more than 15 minutes. So unless they come with interchangeable headbands, I won't be buying the Max again. I mean, you can change the headband, but there are no spare parts. They could really fix that.

[@killerlion6]

Thanks for sharing. Very hard to find real user experience after a year, two or even three.

[@sarikhamaraican1380]

Thanks so much!

[@nyb6195]

It might depend on user. I’ve been using mine for almost 3 years at work, 6 hours a day, every working day and I don’t feel it at all. Maybe you’re using a stand where they hang on the headband and that’s the cause?

[@antman7673]

@@PSy84 At least a few colours are important, so that it works better with your own style. It is not necessary, but such a popular product would be very soulless with many people wearing the exact same colour. -That would be kind of depressing. Modularity increases the lifespan of the headphones. -I had some issues with the cushions of past headphones, that were not replaceable.

[@chrismastere]

Bluetooth doesn't have enough bandwidth to transmit duplex lossless audio. Currently only aptX Lossless exists (since 2021), which is simplex.

[@yungstreichholz]

needs to have a complete redesign to be worth that price. Cant even fold that thing.

[@ThePlaceAndTime]

After more than three years of daily driving max 1s, I'd hope for the following -Improved headband - the mesh stretches out over time, concentrating the weight on the two supports which can become uncomfortable -Wireless charging - USB C is cool and all but I want the option to just set them on a charger -Redesigned case - the current case is not ideal in many ways. I only use the case when traveling, which leads into the next point -Improved stand-by mode - I don't want to be forced to use the case every time I take them just so the battery doesn't drain for hours

[@DawnOfTheCrazy]

I could stand to be corrected, but I think they may have updated stand-by mode since initial release so they don’t require being in their case. Don’t hold me to that, but it’s what I’ve heard lol

[@anthonygray4482]

What about improved active noise cancellation features?

It would be nice if you could plug them in to your Mac or iPad in a wired mode so that there’s no latency when using apps like Garage Band or Logic. Obviously wireless is better most of the time but there are a few situations where wired headphones are necessary.

[@christianeverything450]

[@trumanhicks6404]

With the USB-C law 🇪🇺 in place now by 2024, does that mean that  will also upgrade their remaining Lightning accessories by this year (eg. the Magic Mouse & Magic Keyboard)?

[@Scriba1000]

Yes and no , due to european law all NEW outcoming devices have to be USBC. They have time to update though

[@imykyndall]

[@hubertstrawinski]

@@Olutunu yea, seems like we will have to wait a few more years :/

[@neelkrishna]

I tend to get neck aches so a heavy set of headphones is a no-go. If they can make these as light as competitors, even if they have to switch to plastic, I’d be more likely to buy. Looking for something to replace my QC35s

[@CC-lf3xl]

Sadly the H2 Chip is not on the Airpods max, but the Airpods 4 has H2 on both ANC and regular model. The colors have changed and it’s now a USBC. Thats it unfortunately. I was so disappointed when I found out it had the H1 chip still. Apple let me down this year.

I'd definitely want lossless audio over that USB-C cable (if not over Wifi). Bluetooth compression really gets old fast,

[@xniq]

yall think this going to be a september release with the iphone 16 or a december release just like back in 2020?

[@CC-lf3xl]

I think it will release most likely in September. But i’m hoping for some new colors(Red, Cyan, Black on Black or maybe even the option to customize them to your own color) and some more updates like a H2 or H3 chip, USBC, Adaptive Audio, Better ANC, Better Audio Quality, Find My, Conversation Awareness, A different case, and a full redesign. That would be a good idea to get more profit for Apple along with their Airpods and Airpods Pro.

[@xniq]

@@CC-lf3xl I agree. It would be a shame if they let such an excellently designed headphone go to waste by only changing its charging port, especially when it's competitors (bose, sony, etc.) are starting to pull miles ahead of the old model. I especially notice an increase in the popularity of the old airpods max model and other over ear headphones nowadays so if they add those new upgrades like you mentioned it would truly be beneficial for both user and company for sure 💯

[@Timely-ud4rm]

I'm really excited about the updates coming to the AirPods Max! The switch from Lightning to USB-C is a fantastic move, making it so much easier to use a single cable for all my devices. The new colors and enhanced features from the H2 chip, like personalized volume and conversation awareness, sound like great improvements too. However, I'm disappointed that they're sticking with Bluetooth 5.3. While it's the latest version, I believe a proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless technology could offer an even better experience. It would likely provide better battery life and superior audio quality. It feels like a missed opportunity for Apple to push the envelope further in wireless audio technology. It would be really cool if Apple started using 2.4 GHz technology for their ecosystem's benefit. I know it would break compatibility, but Apple has done this before, like when they moved to USB-C and phased out USB-A ports on Macs. Why not do the same here for a much better experience?

apple will NEVER make a clamshell case, NEVER! not that it is even needed, you can never break the airpods max, you just need to protect them from scuffs and having a simple light small case is all you need for that.
