The Apple AirPods Max USB-C (2nd Generation, 2024 model) are over-ear headphones that charge over USB-C. They have Active Noise Cancellation to block outside sound and a Transparency mode to let surrounding sound in.
An Apple H1 chip sits in each ear cup. The headphones use adaptive EQ and computational audio, and they support Spatial Audio with head tracking. They connect over Bluetooth 5.3 and work with other Apple devices.
