Inexpensive Apple AirPods Max have problems: headphones "sweat" and include noise cancellation only by half

At the beginning of the month, Apple introduced full-size AirPods Max headphones, which are not cheap.

$549. Despite the high price tag, the new product was not without problems.

What's wrong

One Reddit user states that whenWhen worn for a long time, condensation appears inside the headphones. He used his headphones all day, taking only a few short breaks. When he removed the fabric ear pads, he discovered droplets of moisture inside, which could eventually damage the electronics.

In this case, the headphones were worn only indoors,under normal humidity conditions. Apparently this is due to the aluminum body, which is colder than the human ear, and the tight fit to the head, which blocks natural ventilation. In theory, if you wear headphones periodically, removing them from your head, you may not notice this problem.

In addition, some users haveWhen switching noise canceling modes, one side activates the new settings, while the other leaves the old ones. For example, one earphone has active noise cancellation, and the other one has a transparent mode. Most likely, this problem can be solved by releasing a fresh update.

But now there is a way out.Reboot the headphones by holding down the noise canceling button and the Digital Crown until the status LED on the bottom of the right earbud flashes amber. If this doesn't help, try resetting the settings by following the same steps as above, but holding the knob down for a longer 15-second period. The indicator should turn yellow and then white.

If all these steps do not work, it is better to contact Apple support.
