When Apple announced its expensive “new” AirPods Max with USB-C Last fall, I asked if headphones There will be USB-C audio and get an optional USB-C to 3.5 mm cable for wired connection to devices with a headphone jack. I didn't get an answer from Apple, but no feature was available at launch, which seemed … Strange. Now, Apple says Come both features to AirPods Max (with USB-C) as part of the firmware upgrade in April.
With Original AirPods Enabled by Lighting Maximumyou can buy a Lightning up to 3.5 mm cable for $ 35 To get higher quality audio without loss of your computer (or dedicated music player) and connect to flight entertainment systems. It was boring that Apple didn't include the $ 549 headphone cable, especially since the sound was significantly better in my tests when I listened to trails without losses on my computer with a wired connection.
The advantage of AirPods Max with USB-C is that you can use the USB-C charging cable to connect headphones to your computer, smartphone or tablet equipped with USB-C to get an audio without loss. Plus, Apple will sell you USB-C up to 3.5 mm cable for $ 39. Again, such a cable should be included with headphones that cost this a lot (currently reduced $ 480 in Amazon), but at least it will be available now.
Apple will start selling USB-C to 3.5mm cable for $ 39 in April.
“With this update, AirPods Max will unlock 24-bit, 48 kHz without loss, preserving the integrity of the original footage and allowing listeners to experience music as the artist created in the studio,” Apple said. “Audio without loss also extends to personalized spatial audio to deliver more sound accurate, uncompressed and submersible experience, and users can enjoy more than 100 million songs in audio without loss with Apple Music.”
The press statement also notes that using the USB-C cable, AirPods Max “becomes the only headphones that allow musicians to create and interfere with personalized spatial audio by tracking their heads.” In addition, gamers will appreciate audio ultra-lateness.
If you own AirPods Max and didn't use them in wired mode, it's worth a try: I noticed a significant upgrade to the sound quality of wireless listening via Bluetooth. As soon as I test the refreshed AirPods Max (with USB-C) in wired mode, I will update this article with my impressions.
