What changed in the 2024 AirPods Max?

The main change is USB-C charging instead of Lightning. Drivers, noise cancellation and the overall design carry over from the earlier model.

Do they work with Android?

Yes, over Bluetooth, but you lose automatic switching, Spatial Audio head tracking and some Siri features that need Apple devices.

Apple rates up to 20 hours of listening with noise cancellation and Spatial Audio on. Charging is over USB-C.

No. The headphones sleep automatically when set down in the case or after inactivity, and wake when you put them on.

The USB-C port is for charging, not audio. There is no 3.5mm jack, so wired listening needs a separate adapter setup.

Choose the AirPods Max for build, Apple integration and spatial audio. The Sony is lighter, folds flat and offers more features on non-Apple devices.
