Experience Music Like Never Before

The update will enable AirPods Max to deliver an impressive 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio quality. This ensures that listeners experience music exactly as the artists intended, preserving the original recording's integrity. For Apple Music users, this means access to over 100 million songs in high-quality lossless audio, turning every listening session into a rich and immersive sound journey.

Empowering Music Production

For music producers, the enhancements are game-changing. AirPods Max will now support ultra-low latency audio, allowing seamless integration into professional workflows with software like Logic Pro. Musicians will benefit significantly from the ability to create and mix tracks in Personalized Spatial Audio, optimizing their sound with remarkable precision. The USB-C cable included with the headphones will further elevate this experience by facilitating high-resolution audio playback.

A Gamer’s Dream

Gamers and livestreamers can also rejoice! The ultra-low latency feature significantly reduces audio lag, allowing for smooth gameplay that rivals the built-in speakers of Macs and iPads. No more frustrating delays—just crisp audio that enhances the overall gaming experience and keeps livestreams engaging.

Availability and Pricing

The lossless audio and ultra-low latency sound features will roll out as a free firmware update in April, compatible with iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4. Meanwhile, AirPods Max are currently priced at $549 and come in five vibrant colors: midnight, starlight, blue, purple, and orange.

Create Your Own Audio Profile

To fully unlock the potential of Personalized Spatial Audio, users with an iPhone equipped with a TrueDepth camera can create a personal profile that synchronizes across all Apple devices. This feature integrates seamlessly into daily use, enhancing how users experience sound across their Apple ecosystem.

Stay tuned as April approaches—the future of audio excellence with AirPods Max is just around the corner!
