The headband dome mesh is made of a taut, breathable fabric that helps distribute the weight and reduce the pressure on the head. The material wrapped around the stainless steel frame is soft to the touch and combines excellent strength, flexibility, and comfort.
The telescoping rods both extend smoothly and stabilize in the desired position for a tight fit at all times. The anodized aluminum metal earmuffs are gorgeous and sophisticated, and their innovative construction allows the earmuffs to rotate independently on both sides to balance the pressure on the ear.
The outer layer of the ear cushions is covered with a special mesh fabric that provides a soft pillow-like feel. The ear cushions are made of acoustically correct memory foam that gently conforms to the ear, ensuring excellent sound quality.
The AirPods Max supports powerful active noise cancellation with an Apple H1 chip in both earcups, 10 built-in audio cores, a special acoustic design, advanced software, and computational audio technology that effectively blocks external noise to create a sense of presence, and can be switched to transparent mode with a simple press of the noise control button.
It is also equipped with a total of up to nine microphones, eight of which are for active noise cancellation, including six outward-facing, two inward-facing, and three for voice pickup, including one dedicated and two for both active noise cancellation.
The beam-forming microphones also help isolate speech from background noise during phone calls. A dynamic coil drive unit enables a wide frequency range, while a dual-ring neodymium magnet motor drive unit achieves very low total harmonic distortion over the entire audible range.
The headset comes with digital knobs to precisely adjust volume, skip tracks, answer/pause calls, and activate Siri. It also supports features such as adaptive equalization, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, head detection, and messaging.
In terms of battery life, the official claim is that when active noise cancellation and spatial audio are turned on, the longest time available for listening to music, watching videos, and making phone calls is 20 hours, and it supports fast charging, and with the Lightning, an interface can be used for 1.5 hours after 5 minutes of charging.
