Apple Announces AirPods Pro Max
Tuesday, December 8, 2020
Today Apple likely made their final product announcement of 2020, with the release of a new over-the-ear headphone. This new accessory, dubbed “AirPods Pro Max” brings many of the best features of AirPods Pro to a larger, over the ear headphone. This should make a great holiday gift for the audiophile in your life! Here are the key details.
AirPods Max come in five colors, including space gray, silver, sky blue, green, and pink.
Although no one has heard the sound of these yet, Apple says they provide “rich, deep bass, accurate mid-ranges, and crisp, clean high-frequency extension.” Each ear cup is equipped with Apple’s H1 chip for “computational audio” to deliver the “highest quality listening experience possible.”
Similar to the Apple Watch, AirPods Max feature a Digital Crown for volume control and the ability to play or pause audio, skip tracks, answer or end phone calls, and activate Siri.
The headphones are priced at $549, and can be ordered as early as today, with shipments beginning December 15.
