The new version supports enhanced surround sound technology, along with the new H2 chip that delivers improved audio processing and noise reduction. Battery life has also been improved to up to 25 hours of continuous playback, with support for fast charging via USB-C.The outer design of the earbuds hasn't changed much, but they are now lighter and more comfortable for extended wear. The AirPods Max 2 also support smart connectivity features with other Apple devices, such as automatic device switching and the Find My feature for tracking the earbuds if they are lost. The new earbuds are expected to be available in the coming weeks in several new colors.
