The AirPods Max will be available from December 15. It costs INR 59,900. There’s only one model that one can choose from – but you can purchase the AirPods Max in five different colours. They are Space Gray, Silver, Green, Sky Blue, and Pink. Unlike previous AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max aren’t really pods at all. They are over-ear headphones, meaning they cover your entire ear. The new retro-style headphones have aluminium ear cups and memory foam ear cushions that can be removed and attached via magnets. The headband is made of stainless steel, while the top band is a flexible mesh.

Apple promises up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge with both ANC and Spatial Audio enabled. The headphones come with a Lightning to USB-C cable in the box, but Apple doesn’t include a charger.
