AirPods Max

Performance

Each ear cup contained a custom 40mm Apple driver — the largest ever in an Apple audio product — with Computational Audio combining the H1 chips, microphones, and accelerometer to continuously adapt the listening experience in real time.

A dedicated H1 chip in each ear cup enabled the AirPods Max’s extraordinary audio processing — with one chip handling ANC and the other handling audio rendering, together processing 9 trillion operations per second.

• Dedicated H1 chip per ear cup (dual H1 total)
• 9 trillion operations per second combined
• Computational Audio processing
• Adaptive EQ and Spatial Audio rendering
• Real-time ANC adaptation
• Automatic device switching and hands-free Siri
