Our take on the Apple AirPods Max 2 USB-C

The AirPods Max 2 is Apple's over-ear headphone, now with a USB-C port for charging and wired lossless audio. It keeps the aluminum and mesh build, active noise cancelling, spatial audio and the Digital Crown controls of the original. Sound and noise cancelling rank among the best in over-ear headphones, and it pairs instantly with iPhone, iPad and Mac. It suits Apple-heavy users who want premium build and tight ecosystem integration; Android owners and buyers who want a lighter, more portable headphone get less from it.

Cons

Questions and answers

Is the AirPods Max 2 worth it over the original AirPods Max?: If you want USB-C charging or wired lossless audio, yes. Otherwise the sound and noise cancelling are close, so an original at a lower cost is still a reasonable pick.
Does it work with Android phones?: It works as a standard Bluetooth headphone for audio and calls, but spatial audio, automatic switching and Find My are Apple-only. Android users lose much of what makes it special.
How long does the battery last?: Apple rates it at up to 20 hours of listening with noise cancelling and spatial audio on. Heavy spatial audio use and calls reduce that.
Can I use it wired?: Yes, over USB-C with a compatible cable for lossless audio. There is no 3.5 mm jack, so analog sources need an adapter.
What is in the box?: The headphones and a Smart Case. Apple does not include a charging cable or a power adapter.
Is it good for travel?: Noise cancelling is excellent for flights, but it does not fold and the case is thin, so packing it takes space and care.
Where is the Apple AirPods Max 2 USB-C cheapest?: At PC Richard & Son, for $448.88, 18% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
