Highest Audio Quality Possible
Initially the second gen AirPods Max with USB-C lacked wired support.
With this software update, Apple will bring 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio support to the AirPods Max. With lossless audio, it preserves the integrity of original recordings and allowing listeners to experience music the way artists have intended in studio recordings. This update essentially means Apple Music subscribers can access more than 100 million songs in lossless audio.
Gamers & Streamers Alike To Enjoy Low Latency
The update will also significantly reduce audio lag for a seamless experience comparable to native built-in speakers on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. With this, users such as gamers and live streamers can enjoy synchronized audio-visual performance.
Create & mix in Personalised Spatial Audio with Head Tracking
Not only that, musicians and editors will be able to create and mix in Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, utilizing apps like Logic Pro without compromising audio fidelity.
Using the USB-C cable, AirPods Max will also become the only headphones that enable musicians to both create and mix in Personalised Spatial Audio with head tracking. Especially with the lossless, high-resolution digital audio with low latency support combined, anyone can seamlessly record and mix with AirPods Max without compromising fidelity.
USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Cable
With this update, Apple also introduces a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable priced at RM219, facilitating connections to various audio sources, including airplane audio-out ports and car stereos.
