The expensive AirPods Max are actually getting better. Apple just announced that both lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio will soon be available on its premium headphones.
Highest quality sound with USB-C cable
Lossless audio delivers 24-bit, 48 kHz audio output for the best possible experience. It will also expand to Personalized Spatial Audio for a more accurate and immersive experience. There are over 100 million songs in lossless audio with Apple Music .
Since regular Bluetooth connections can't handle lossless audio, you'll need to use the included USB-C cable to connect to your Apple device.
A USB-C cable is also required to unlock ultra-low latency audio. As the name suggests, this reduces latency and delivers sound on par with the built-in speakers on Macs, iPads, and iPhones.
The changes will arrive next month with a firmware update for the headphones alongside the iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4 updates from Apple.
You can buy AirPods Max from Apple and many other retailers for $549. They are available in Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Orange.
Apple also introduced a new USB-C to 3.5m audio cable for $39, which lets you connect AirPods Max to 3.5mm audio sources like in-flight entertainment systems.
All of the new audio improvements are only available on the USB-C AirPods Max, first introduced in September 2024. The previous AirPods Max model with a Lightning connector cannot use the new features.
The addition of audio features is too little and too late.
It’s hard to understand why Apple didn’t include lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio in the “update” version introduced in 2024. That might have been a game-changer and gotten buyers interested in the headphones. But now it’s certainly too late to make much of a difference, since both features are aimed at audio creators and gamers, not everyday, regular headphone users.
The AirPods Max have always been one of Apple’s most confusing products. First introduced in 2020, the over-ear headphones offer some great features if you’re willing to spend a little money. Now, compared to other headphones on the market, the AirPods Max don’t have much to offer. You can easily find a similar product for hundreds of dollars less.
Many people have always thought that the original AirPods Max were one of the worst things they’ve ever bought. Along with the high price, poor battery life, and no way to completely turn the earbuds off. That’s not to mention the confusing Digital Crown, the terrible case, and the bright colors that show dirt after just a short time of use.
