Active noise cancellation gets major improvement
The H2 chip, combined with new computational audio algorithms, enables active noise cancellation to further reduce unwanted ambient sounds. Usuários can concentrate better on music, calls, or work in noisy environments, such as airplanes or city trains.
The Transparência mode has also been optimized using a digital signal processing algorithm specific to the H2. Essa improvement makes ambient sound sound more natural, making it easier to interact with people nearby without removing the headphones.
High sound quality with new amplifier
The AirPods Max 2 incorporate a high dynamic range amplifier that delivers clearer, cleaner audio. The line’s signature sound signature remains intact, with more accurate bass, natural mids and highs, and improved instrument placement on the Áudio Espacial.
24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio support via the included USB-C cable ensures maximum fidelity in music, movies, and games. Criadores musicians use headphones in professional streams on Logic Pro, including for mixing on Áudio Espacial Personalizado with head tracking.
Reduced latency in wireless audio improves the gaming experience on Modo Jogo for iOS, macOS, and iPadOS devices. Jogadores perceive greater responsiveness and immersion during matches.
Smart features expand functionality
The Áudio Adaptativo automatically adjusts cancellation and transparency levels as the environment changes. Essa functionality optimizes hearing in different situations without manual intervention.
The Consciência of Conversa decreases playback volume and reduces background noise when the user starts talking to someone nearby. The Isolamento of Voz prioritizes speech during calls, blocking out external noise through advanced computational audio.
Tradução to Vivo, driven by Apple Intelligence, allows communication in different languages in person. Usuários press Digital Crown to remotely control the camera in photo and video apps on iPhone or iPad.
Studio-quality audio recording benefits podcasters, musicians, and creators. Vocal texture sounds more natural, and features like Redução of Ruídos Altos protect your hearing. Volume Personalizado adapts the experience based on preferences over time, while Interações with Siri respond to commands by nodding their heads.
Environmental commitment maintained in new models
AirPods Max 2 use 100% recycled rare earth elements in the magnets. The ear cushions feature 100% recycled polyester, and the printed circuit boards designed by Apple incorporate 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder.
The packaging is made entirely from paper-based fibers and can be recycled easily. Essas choices align with the company’s plan for carbon neutrality by 2030, reducing emissions in materials, electricity and transport.
