Apple Updating the AirPods Max Means They Might Actually Be Worth Buying
1 min read
Summary
Apple has announced that the pricey AirPod Max headphones will be upgraded with lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio, but the new features won’t be available until next month’s firmware update.
The new features will require the use of a USB-C cable, but an adapter is required as the current AirPod Max buds have a Lightning connector.
The new USB-C to 3.5m audio cable will also be available to purchase separately for $39 and will allow users to connect the max to 3.5mm audio sources.
Critics are disappointed that the new features are geared towards audio creators and gamers, and feel that the upgrade is too little, too late for the expensive wireless headphones.
