Summary
₹67,900 AirPods Max 2 marks Apple’s first full refresh of the over-ear line in more than five years, adding the H2 chip, stronger noise cancellation and 24-bit/48kHz lossless audio over USB-C.
H2 replaces the original H1 hardware and drives up to 1.5x better ANC, more natural Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio and newer AirPods features including Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation and head-gesture Siri controls.
40mm drivers remain, but Apple pairs them with a new high-dynamic-range amplifier and updated computational audio processing to improve separation, bass and detail; head-tracked Spatial Audio is also upgraded.
386g weight, roughly 20-hour battery life and the much-criticized Smart Case carry over, leaving the second-generation model closer to a substantial upgrade than a full redesign.
The release positions AirPods Max 2 as a more complete option for existing owners—especially users of the original Lightning version—rather than a radical reinvention of Apple’s premium headphones.
