Personalized Spatial Audio
with dynamic head tracking3 gives you a theater‑like experience with sound that surrounds you for movies, TV shows, and games. Using built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers, AirPods Max and your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV track the subtle motion of your head, anchoring sounds to your device.
Adaptive EQ
tailors sound to the bespoke fit and seal created by the ear cushions. Inward-facing microphones measure what you’re hearing, then adjust the frequencies of your music to deliver a rich, consistent experience that faithfully reproduces every note.
Lossless Audio4
preserves every detail of the original recording, whether you’re enjoying a movie or music. Simply connect AirPods Max to your device by USB‑C to enable Lossless Audio content. If you create your own audio in apps like Logic Pro and GarageBand, you’ll also get ultra-low latency on par with the built-in speakers on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
