Adaptive Audio and noise cancellation
Noise cancellation is rated up to 1.5 times as effective as the earlier AirPods Max's. Adaptive Audio blends it with Transparency to suit your surroundings.

Wired lossless audio
With the included USB-C cable, it plays lossless audio at up to 24-bit, 48 kHz. The wired connection also lowers latency for games and audio editing.

Heavy aluminium and steel build
Aluminium ear cups and a stainless steel frame make it about 130 g heavier than the Sony WH-1000XM6 or Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen). Some reviewers found the weight tiring over long sessions.
