In 2023, Apple upgraded the AirPods Pro 2 with new features such as Adaptive Audio and Automatic Switching.
Launched in December 2020, the AirPods Max has seen minimal hardware changes over the years except for the transition to a USB-C port late last year. Apple is adding features to the USB-C-only version.
The new software update allows AirPods Max users to use the included USB-C cable and enjoy the highest quality audio across music, movies and games while music creators can experience significant enhancements to songwriting, beat making, production and mixing.
The update unlocks 24-bit 48kHz lossless audio which the brand is saying will preserve the integrity of original recordings and allow listeners to experience music the way the artist created it in the Studio.
Lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio enable music creators to fully utilize AirPods Max throughout their entire professional workflow on Logic Pro and other Music Creation apps. With the USB-C cable, AirPods Max enables musicians to create and mix in Personalized Spatial Audio with head-tracking. While the high-resolution digital audio with ultra-low latency allows artists to seamlessly record and mix with AirPods Max supposedly without compromising fidelity.
Apple claims that gamers and live streamers may benefit from ultra-low latency audio as it significantly lowers lag time and is on par with native built-in speakers on Mac, iPad and iPhone. With no perceivable delay, gameplay and live streaming should become reliably smooth and even more immersive for users.
Apple has updated the availability of colorways of the AirPods Max in the Philippines. Philippine customers can pick between Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple or Orange.
To coincide with this new feature, Apple is also introducing a new USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable
