The AirPods Max 2 are Apple's new premium headphones that come with significant internal improvements, even though they look almost identical to the previous version on the outside.
Inside them is the new H2 chip, which brings a range of intelligent functions such as "Adaptive Audio", "Conversation Awareness" and real-time translation - a very practical feature for traveling abroad.
In terms of sound quality, these headphones offer an even better experience than the previous model. With a new amplifier and improved active noise cancellation (ANC), the sound is clearer, more detailed and with powerful bass. Setup is very quick and the connection to the iPhone is done without any problems.
In testing, they were compared to high-end models like the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 and proved to be just as good. The improved ANC blocks out ambient noise more effectively, making them ideal for travel or noisy environments.
Another advantage is support for high-quality lossless audio (24-bit/48kHz) via USB-C, as well as Spatial Audio technology that creates a more immersive listening experience. The system also automatically adjusts the sound to the shape of your head and ears.
Additional features include noise isolation during calls, automatic volume adjustment based on preferences and environment, and real-time translation through Apple's intelligence. Control via the "Digital Crown" remains a practical and intuitive solution.
However, not everything is perfect. The design has not changed at all and the colors are the same as before. Even the protective case remains the same and continues to be criticized for lacking full protection.
Another big downside is the price – around £499 – which is quite high, especially when competing models like the Sony WH-1000XM6 or Bowers & Wilkins Px7 offer excellent performance at a significantly lower cost.
In conclusion, the AirPods Max 2 are very high-quality headphones with excellent sound and advanced features. But the lack of design changes and the high price may make many users look at more affordable alternatives. /GazetaExpress/
