Apple AirPods Max 2 for $429 ($120 Off) Apple AirPods Max 2 launched earlier this year, and while they look unchanged from the outside, they have a few key upgrades when you look a little closer.
The biggest is improved active noise-canceling (ANC). AirPods Max were already some of the best ANC headphones you could get—this second version improves on a winning formula with 1.5 times stronger ANC. Having tested this out in the real world, I can confirm they are better at blocking out sound of all kinds.
Other improvements are more software-focused, tied to Apple's H2 chip inside (upgraded from the H1 in the original AirPods Max). AirPods Max 2 now have many of the features carried over from the latest AirPods Pro, including live translation, adaptive audio, and conversation awareness.
