Apple launches AirPods Max

With active noise cancellation and adaptive equalization, the new Apple headset costs R $ 6,899..

Announced last week, the Airpods Max, an over-ear headphone (which sits over the ears, not internally in the ear canal) wirelessly from Apple features transparency mode, spatial audio, adaptive equalization and active noise cancellation.

"Each part of it is carefully designed to provide exceptional acoustic performance for each user," says the company, pointing out that the breathable fabric arch distributes the weight of the equipment and reduces pressure on the head.

The stainless steel structure offers "flexibility, strength and comfort for different head shapes and sizes". It also has telescopic arms for adjustments that allow the headphones to rotate independently.

The pads are made with a memory foam designed to create an effective seal - inspired by the Apple Watch, with precise volume control and the ability to pause, skip tracks, play, activate Siri, answer or end calls.

Designed by Apple, a 400 mm dynamic driver provides "rich, deep bass, accurate midrange and a clean, crisp high-frequency range so every note can be heard". There are 10 audio cores of the chips, providing a sound similar to content recorded in 5.1, 7.1 and Dolby Atmos. 

Each headset receives three microphones, one inside which monitors the sound emitted to the user and the other outside to detect environmental noise. According to Apple, the Airpods Max battery lasts up to 20 hours, plus the smart case helps to save charge when the headset is not in use. 

The novelty will be launched in Brazil for R $ 6,899. In the US, Airpods Max will be available from December 15 for $ 550.
