Apple AirPods Max 2 — Midnight
H2 chipLossless over USB-CUp to 20 h with ANCSmart Case included
Apple AirPods Max 2 (MHWK4ZM/A, Midnight) are Apple's premium wireless over-ear headphones, now with the H2 chip in each ear cup, Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio and lossless, low-latency audio over a USB-C cable. They are for iPhone and Mac users who want the highest-quality Apple listening experience for travel, focused work and music or video editing.
Apple pairs an Apple-designed dynamic driver with a custom high dynamic range amplifier. The H2 chip brings Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Personalised Volume, Voice Isolation for calls and Loud Sound Reduction, while Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking works with compatible content. Some of these features need the latest firmware and iOS, iPadOS or macOS 26.4 or later.
Controls stay familiar: the Digital Crown adjusts volume and handles playback and calls, and a separate button switches listening modes. The included Smart Case puts the headphones into an ultra-low-power state when stored.
Before you order: Full feature set works with iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV on the latest software. With Android, Windows or older Apple software they work as standard Bluetooth headphones with limited functions. A power adapter is not included.

What It Means in Practice
- With the included USB-C cable connected to a Mac or iPhone you get lossless, low-latency audio for compatible content, useful for music production checks or video editing.
- On a long-haul flight ANC is on for up to 20 hours; 5 minutes of charging gives about 1.5 hours.
- Adaptive Audio blends ANC and Transparency automatically, and Conversation Awareness lowers media when you start talking.
- Personalised Spatial Audio requires an iPhone with a TrueDepth camera to create your profile.
What Will Not Work
- Lossless audio over Bluetooth: lossless works only over the wired USB-C connection with compatible content.
- Advanced features (Adaptive Audio, automatic switching, Spatial Audio profile) on Android or Windows; there they act as basic Bluetooth headphones.
- Charging without your own USB-C power adapter: only the cable is included.
- A 3.5 mm analogue input: AirPods Max 2 use USB-C for wired audio.
