Operating Features

AirPods Max offer several advanced features for an enhanced audio experience:

• Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): This feature blocks outside noise, allowing you to immerse yourself in your audio. Press the Noise Control button on the right ear cup to toggle ANC on or off.
• Transparency Mode: When you need to hear and interact with your surroundings, Transparency mode allows external sounds to pass through. Press the Noise Control button to switch between ANC and Transparency mode.
• Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking: Experience theater-like sound that surrounds you. Spatial audio adapts sound to your unique ear shape and tracks your head movements for an immersive listening experience, especially with Dolby Atmos content.
• Digital Crown Controls: The Digital Crown, located on the right ear cup, provides precise control:
  • Turn to adjust volume.
  • Press once to play/pause audio or answer a call.
  • Press twice to skip forward.

Maintenance

• Cleaning Ear Cushions: The memory foam ear cushions are designed for an exceptional fit and can be removed for cleaning. Gently detach them from the ear cups. Clean with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Cleaning Headband: The knit-mesh canopy headband can be wiped with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the ear cups and other surfaces with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Battery Care: To preserve battery life, store your AirPods Max in the Smart Case when not in use. The Smart Case puts them into an ultra low-power state.
