Apple has launched the brand new AirPods Max in India. Available at 59,990 INR, it is one of the most expensive headphones. Apple already has Airpods in its portfolio, but now it has stepped into the headphones category with the AirPods Max. The AirPods Max has active noise cancellation and is powered by an H1 chipset.
Features
The headphones are truly amazing if we look at the features. Available in pink, green, silver, space grey, and blue colors, the headphones are made of steel. They are foldable and also have Active noise cancellation along with adaptive EQ and spatial audio. The top of the headphones has an uncommon build, made of mesh.
The controls on the headphones allow the users to play, pause, skip songs, and also allows the user to talk to Siri. The headphones can also detect when they are in use with the help of sensors. Songs are automatically paused once the headphones are removed from the head.
The battery life of the headphones with spatial audio enables is close to 20 hours, which is also impressive. The headphones also feature a striking 40 mm driver system that enhances the audio quality of the music played.
Price
The AirPods Max costs around 549 USD or 59,990 INR. They are extremely pricey, however, Apple hopes to compete with the likes of Bose and other companies that produce headphones and earphones.
Availability
The AirPods Max will be sold in India and other countries from the 15th of December 2020. But, they will be shipped from the 25th of December.
It is not surprising to see Apple price their products so high. It has always believed in creating a niche market for its products, and it has worked in its favor too. It hopes to replicate this with the AirPods Max too.
