The bone AirPods Max await update like water in Maybut the rumors coming to us from Asia are a real splash of cold water when they indicate that this renewal would not include Apple’s latest developments in terms of headphones.
If you are one of those who (like me) have AirPods Max at home, you will surely be very satisfied with the sound quality, its compactness or its good integration into the Apple ecosystem. They’re also perfect for streaming your favorite movies and series on your Mac or Apple TV. But you will also be one of those who wonder how your AirPods Pro 2, much more affordable than the Max, have more and more advanced features than the latter. Everything is explained, according to Apple, by the H2 chip included in the AirPods Pro 2, more powerful than the H1 in the Max. This chip allows AirPods Pro 2 to have adaptive sound, which adjusts volume, noise cancellation, and ambient mode to the noise in your surroundings, one of the features I like most about these earbuds. The AirPods Max update to version 2 is expected to include this chip, which is already a year and a half old.
Well, the rumor that comes to us from Asia has left us cold, because it assures that we will have new AirPods Max 2 this year, after the summer, but that It will essentially be a new version of the current versions with a USB-C connector, with no more new features to highlight. There might be a new color, but no H2 chip, no wireless charging… nothing. This would be an update that would have few, I’d say more than none, possible explanations from Apple, so let’s hope these rumors aren’t true and the company’s high-end headphones are worthy of this category in their next version.
