However, he also pointed out that Apple has no plans to bring major updates to AirPods Max. In fact, this update may be so minor that it may not even be considered a second generation.

At present, it seems that the main reason for this hardware update is to comply with new EU regulations, that is, charging accessories (such as headphones) must use a USB-C interface, and AirPods Max currently uses Apple’s proprietary Lightning port.

In addition, Gurman also mentioned that this headset will continue to use the H1 chip instead of the H2 chip, so it still cannot support a series of advanced features that AirPods Pro has, such as adaptive audio, conversation awareness, personalized volume, and “Siri” Wake words etc.

This headset is currently priced at US$549 and it is expected that the new AirPods Max will still maintain this price.

In an interview with Hi-Fi magazine, Anderson reflected on the development journey since the release of the early generation AirPods Pro in 2019. Our goal is to give you the best experience possible,” he said. We want to put an AirPods Max in everyone’s pocket. although there will be sacrifices in the final finished product to polish it to everyone’s satisfaction”.

Anderson said that in order to create a superior sound quality, Apple has formed a team of “expert listeners” (expert listeners). In the design of the product, they will be consulted. He said the biggest challenge during the development of AirPods Pro 2 was the high-frequency response, and the solution they found was to focus the airflow.

What’s called good sound quality is looking at how the product flows to the air,” Anderson said. It’s kind of weird because it’s not talking about the case or how it looks, it’s about making sure we design for airflow as well”.

According to 9to5 Mac, The Verge, at least after Apple released the 4E71 firmware update in May, more and more AirPods Max users are now convinced that the headphones’ active noise cancellation has gotten worse.

Many users are calling the 4E71 firmware “garbage” and can hear themselves typing, birds chirping, cars on the street, heavy objects clanking at the gym, and other external noises they’ve never heard before after updating the 4E71 firmware. Some users have gone to the Apple Retail Store to get new headphones after the active noise cancellation experience has also dropped a lot.

So far, there seems to be no way to improve the active noise cancellation on AirPods Max. Some users have tried fixing the advanced headphones or resetting the personalized space audio on iOS 16, but that doesn’t seem to be working.

Apple is currently testing a new firmware update for the AirPods Max wireless headphones. While it has been discovered that the headphones will feature a new LC3 codec to improve audio calls, it’s unclear if Apple is actively working on improving the active noise cancellation feature.
