Cupertino (California): Entering an all-new wearable segment, Apple unveiled its first wireless over-ear AirPods Max with high-fidelity sound, Adaptive EQ, Active Noise Cancellation, and spatial audio for Rs 59,900
Available to order from apple.com and Apple Authorised Resellers. AirPods Max will begin shipping on December 8 in the US and more than 25 other countries and regions.
AirPods Max combines a custom acoustic design, H1 chips, and advanced software and comes in five colours — including space grey, silver, sky blue, green, and pink.
"With AirPods Max, we are bringing that magical AirPods experience to a stunning over-ear design with high-fidelity audio," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
"The custom acoustic design, combined with powerful H1 chips, and advanced software enable AirPods Max to use computational audio to wirelessly deliver the ultimate personal listening experience."
From the canopy to the ear cushions, every part of AirPods Max is carefully crafted to provide exceptional acoustic performance for each user. Each ear cup attaches to the headband through a revolutionary mechanism that balances and distributes ear cup pressure and allows it to independently pivot and rotate to fit the unique contours of a user’s head. e Digital Crown, inspired by Apple Watch, offers precise volume control and the ability to play or pause audio, skip tracks, answer or end phone calls, and activate Siri.
- AirPods Max sports knit mesh canopy, spanning the headband, that is made to distribute weight and reduce on-head pressure.
- The stainless steel headband frame provides strength, flexibility, and comfort for a wide variety of head shapes and sizes.
- Telescoping headband arms smoothly extend and stay in place to maintain the desired fit.
- AirPods Max feature a 40-mm Apple-designed dynamic driver that provides rich, deep bass, accurate mid-ranges, and crisp, clean high-frequency extension so every note can be heard.
- AirPods Max uses Adaptive EQ to adjust the sound to the fit and seal of the ear cushions by measuring the sound signal delivered to a user and adjusting the low and mid-frequencies in real-time — bringing rich audio that captures every detail.
- AirPods Max delivers immersive sound through Active Noise Cancellation so users can focus on what they are listening to. . Using computational audio, noise cancellation continuously adapts to the headphone fit and movement in real-time.
- With AirPods Max, users can switch to Transparency mode to simultaneously listen to music while hearing the environment around them — ensuring everything, including a user's own voice, sounds natural while the audio plays perfectly.
- Switching between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode can be done with a single press using the noise control button.
- AirPods Max use spatial audio with dynamic head tracking to place sounds virtually anywhere in space — delivering an immersive, theatre-like experience for content recorded in 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos
- AirPods Max offers battery life with up to 20 hours of high-fidelity audio, talk time, or movie playback with Active Noise Cancellation and spatial audio enabled.
- AirPods Max require Apple devices running iOS 14.3 or later, iPadOS 14.3 or later, macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later, watchOS 7.2 or later, or tvOS 14.3 or later.
