They finally got an upgrade. I’m curious about the improved latency claim. Wonder if they’re good enough for wireless electric guitar recording in garageband. For now that only really works wired.

Apple has surprised announced a brand new second generation of their highest end headphones: AirPods Max.

AirPods Max 2 is big leap for active noise cancellation, audio quality, and innovative features only Apple can provide, powered by the revolutionary H2 chip, and it has a great 20 hour battery life even with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled, at $549.

AirPods Max 2 has 1.5X more active noise cancellation, an increased separation of instruments and increased naturalness of sound via a higher dynamic range amplifier, and innovative features like lossless playback, enabling AirPods Max 2 the only headphones in the world that someone can create and mix Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking. Wireless connection is also improved for even lower latency.

Further features include Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation, Voice Isolation, camera remote, Loud Sound Reduction, Personalized Volume, and Siri Interactions. This brings feature parity with AirPods Pro 3, while extending AirPods Max 2 feature set to offer only something AirPods Max can do: studio-quality audio recording, and lossless playback via 24 bit 48 KHz audio.

I was an avid Max user but switched to Pro’s. We have 4 Max’s, and they all, at one point or another, stop working to the point where i have to put them in the freezer to get them working again. Too much of a pain.

Interesting. Well, with new speakers and new chips and microphones I'm sure they redid the logic board. Hopefully that doesn't happen again in future if you use them!

Yeah I've heard you've had issues. Quite a shame. Mine have worked flawlessly throughout the whole time I've had them, which id about 5 years. I only really like over-ear headphones. Fortunately they've never had any issues for me, but it sucks that all of yours have shown problems.
