TIP: If you press both buttons at the same time and it’ll pause the music and change to transparency mode so you can talk to someone. It’s been great.

Thanks for this. Video. I just got mine yesterday. My son got me these for my birthday/mothers day and i love them.

Great video. One suggestion: might want to cover off setting around Headphone Accommodations. In Settings, under the Accessibility section, there is a Hearing category that allows for the adjustment of audio settings for headphones. This includes options such as "Headphone Accommodations, " which can be used to enhance the sound of speech, reduce background noise, and adjust the overall audio balance. Additionally, you can use "Live Listen" which uses the microphone on your AirPods or compatible headphones to amplify sounds around you, making it easier to hear a conversation in a noisy environment.

THANKS! The toggle for "Announce Messages with Siri" is a really useful button! My big problem though is that I want to GET MORE VOLUME FOR TRANSPARENCY. I wear hearing aids, and found that the AirPodsPro can adjust the gain of transparency, but with the MAX, I have Transparency ON and can't hear outside sounds. I can TELL that it is on, but you'd need to shout at me for me to hear at all. I'd love to be able to get it to work like the AirPodsPRO.

Even though I’m already pretty familiar with the AirPods Max, I haven’t gotten mine yet. So I learned a few things from this video. Thanks!

Forget about the headphones, where can I get the stand that you have them sitting on?

[yousefmaddani]

if I connect audio cable to Air pods Max using 3.5 mm lighting adopter, will that work? as wired headphones.

I’m gonna get mine in a few days, can’t wait :D

I really don’t understand why the unplugged led is green for 15%. Why on earth did that not make it green=+75% yellow =below 50% and red=below 25%. I feel like that would be so much more helpful since these don’t have any way to recharge on the go like the AirPods case which means if you leave the house when they’re “green” with 15% battery that’s not a lot of playback time…I’ve never seen a green led mean “hey you’ve basically got a dead battery but you’re good to go.”

Thank you Andrew for that air pods pro max tip, I'm going get me a pair in pink thanks so much

[Alex-uyzx]

Great tips! Thanks so much explaining how to have multiple sets of headphones being able to watch content on the same device at the same time!

[danadirectmarketing]

I have heard they are HEAVY? Do you find this to be the case? Thank you...

[UrdaManrd]

Andrew, Have you tested a wired connection using the Apple Lightning to 3.5 Audio cable ($35) and Apple USB-C to 3.5 Audio Adapter ($9) for a wired connection to an iPad Pro with a USB-C Port???? Have a safe Holiday and New Year!!!

[tajtaj]

Just bought a set for myself now and this was the first video about the AirPods max that was worth the watch. Thanks for the tips👍🏼

[shadowios]

Getting these bad boys in 12 days, honestly, I need to get a case for it. An *actual* case, so I can put it in my bag.

[georgestiros]

[johnraymundo]

i usually connect my AirPods Max to my tv. anyone know which sound indicated ANC and/or transparency mode??

[woahisthatlegend]

When I have on auto head detection and take off one earcuff it still plays the content but only plays on the earcuff thats still on. Pretty Cool.

[jamesallen]
