- How does the AirPods Max compare with the Sony WH-1000XM5?
- The Max has a more premium metal build and tighter Apple integration. The Sony is lighter, folds flat and offers a folding design and more features for Android users.
- Does it work with Android and Windows?
- Yes, over standard Bluetooth, but you lose instant pairing, automatic switching and spatial audio with head tracking. Noise cancellation and transparency still work.
- How long does the battery last?
- Apple rates it at about 20 hours with noise cancellation and spatial audio on. A short charge gives several hours of playback.
- Can I use it wired?
- Yes, with a Lightning to 3.5mm cable sold separately, but the signal is converted to analog and does not support lossless audio.
- Is the Smart Case required to turn it off?
- No. The headphones enter a low-power mode when set down, and the case puts them into a deeper sleep, but it is not needed for normal use.
- What is in the box?
- The headphones, the Smart Case and a USB-C to Lightning cable. No charger or audio cable is included.
