AirPods Max are carefully crafted wireless over-ear headphones that provide exceptional acoustic performance. A custom acoustic design, 40-mm Apple-designed dynamic driver, dual neodymium ring magnet motor, and two Apple-designed H1 chips power computational audio for breakthrough listening. A breathable knit mesh canopy reduces on-head pressure and the headband frame offers a flexible fit.
