Launched in 2020, AirPods Max was probably one of the most expensive headphones ever offered by Apple. The model, which was on sale for customers who preferred over-ear headphones in the brand’s expanding AirPods product range, was especially notable for being the top-end and expensive model in the AirPods product family. According to the information on the subject, Apple will renew the product with the AirPods Max 2 model. Here are the details…
AirPods Max 2 will be released in 2024
In fact, AirPods Max is the oldest AirPods model among the Apple headphone models currently on sale. However, it also has the title of being the most expensive and high-end device. However, the model released in 2020 has not changed after 3 years.
But don’t worry! If you are a true AirPods Max fan, the good news has finally arrived. AirPods Max, Apple’s most premium headphones, will appear with its 2nd generation in 2024. So what awaits us in this new device? As it is known, when AirPods Max first debuted, it was criticized by many people.
Because the headphones were quite expensive and this prevented everyone from accessing them easily. However, looking at the features table, the headphones were really high-end. With AirPods Max 2, we will first see the USB-C charging port. The AirPods Max model also gets its share from the Lightning – USB-C input change in the Apple ecosystem.
The Bluetooth 5.3 specification is already available on AirPods Pro 2, iPhone 15 series and the latest Apple Watch models. It is also supported by all Mac models released in 2023. Therefore, the second-generation AirPods Max are similarly expected to feature the latest Bluetooth standard.
There is one detail that we should add here, because it is an element that will require you to buy the 2nd generation instead of AirPods Max 1: The U2 chip. Apple’s U2 Ultra Wideband chip can be found in the latest iPhone 15 series, Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, and enables Precise Finding in the Find My app. AirPods Max 1 has basic support for “Find My”, but doesn’t even include the previous generation U1 chip. Apple’s addition of a U2 chip in the AirPods Max 2 would therefore provide a much more precise way to locate the earbuds when they’re nearby.
And then there’s the H2 chip, which is the only feature that will allow the headphones to skip a generation. Apple may use the H2 chip it introduced with AirPods Pro in the Max 2 model. However, a better quality sound transmission and noise canceling features will be in the Max 2 model. Finally, we come to the part that will probably attract the most attention. With AirPods Max 2, new color options await users.
