Apple AirPods Max

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Apple has unveiled the wireless headphones 'AirPods Max' equipped with noise-canceling functionality.

On the 8th (local time), Apple announced that it has started pre-sales of AirPods Max in 25 countries including the United States, and will begin shipping from the 15th. The domestic release schedule is undecided, and the price is 719,000 KRW.

AirPods Max features the H1 chip and offers active noise cancellation, adaptive EQ, transparency mode, and spatial audio functions. It will be available in five colors: Space Gray, Silver, Sky Blue, Green, and Pink.

AirPods Max consists of two ear cups connected by a headband. The ear cushions use memory foam material to enhance sound isolation and rotate independently to fit the user's head shape. The AirPods headband is made of stainless steel to maintain the shape according to the head, and the center part is designed with breathable mesh material to distribute the weight of the device and reduce pressure.

Reflecting the know-how of the Apple Watch, the digital crown allows volume control, audio playback and pause, track skipping, call answering and ending, and Siri activation. Each ear cup is equipped with three microphones to detect external sounds. A smart case is also provided to store the headphones in an ultra-low power state to maintain battery charge when not in use.

AirPods Max is equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers that deliver deep bass, midrange, and clear treble. The H1 chip designed by Apple and advanced software provide the highest quality listening experience ever. The H1 chip can perform 9 billion operations per second. It offers adaptive EQ that measures sound signals and adjusts mid and low frequencies in real time, active noise cancellation that helps focus on music by detecting ambient noise, and transparency mode that lets in audio, the user's voice, and surrounding sounds. Pressing the noise control button switches between active noise cancellation and transparency mode.

Integration with Apple devices is also excellent. AirPods Max automatically pairs with iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, Apple TVs, and other devices using the iCloud account. If you are listening to music on a Mac and receive a call on your iPhone, the AirPods Max connection automatically switches to the iPhone. It also supports audio sharing for two AirPods with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

The battery life allows up to 20 hours of audio playback or calls with active noise cancellation and spatial audio enabled.

Greg Joswiak, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Marketing, said, "With AirPods Max, we want to bring the captivating experience of AirPods to a beautiful over-ear design with hi-fi audio. The powerful H1 chip combined with advanced software and custom acoustic design helps AirPods Max deliver the optimal personal listening experience wirelessly using computational audio."
