Elevate Your Listening Experience

With the upcoming software update, AirPods Max users will be able to enjoy 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio. This enhancement will ensure that listeners experience music exactly as it was intended to be heard—rich, authentic, and true to the original recording. What's more, the lossless audio feature will be fully compatible with Apple Music's extensive library, giving users access to over 100 million songs in stellar quality.

A New Era for Music Producers

For music creators, the integration of lossless audio and ultra-low latency is monumental. These updates will allow music producers to leverage AirPods Max throughout the entire workflow on platforms like Logic Pro, enhancing songwriting, beat making, and mixing processes. Users will then be able to connect their AirPods Max via USB-C, making these headphones a vital tool for anyone serious about music production.

The ultra-low latency feature, in particular, will ensure there’s virtually no delay during recording or editing, allowing artists to deliver their best work without compromising audio fidelity.

Gaming and Livestreaming Just Got Better

Gamers and livestreamers will also reap the benefits of this update, as ultra-low latency audio will minimize lag, delivering a smoother and more immersive experience comparable to the built-in speakers on Apple devices. Whether you're strategizing in real-time or interacting with your audience during a live stream, the enhanced audio experience will be seamless and responsive.

Free Firmware Update and Availability

The highly anticipated firmware update equipped with lossless audio and ultra-low latency features will be available in April, coinciding with iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4. AirPods Max are currently available for $549 in a selection of colors including midnight, starlight, blue, purple, and orange.

Additionally, to maximize the capabilities of AirPods Max, a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable will be available for purchase at $39, enabling users to connect their headphones to various audio sources, including airplane audio ports and car stereos.

Unleash the Power of Spatial Audio

AirPods Max users will have the unique ability to create and mix in Personalized Spatial Audio using Logic Pro. The process requires an iPhone equipped with a TrueDepth camera to establish a personal profile for Spatial Audio, which can then sync across all compatible Apple devices running the latest operating systems.

This major update is set to redefine how we experience audio, bridging the gap between casual listening and professional-grade music production. Stay tuned for what could be the biggest audio transformation in years!
