AirPods Max 2: there's no reason to wait for Apple's next headset

The world of AirPods is ready to evolve into headphones, but not headphones. While the AirPods 4 with noise reduction were launched alongside the iPhone 16 and the AirPods Pro 2 were also equipped with a hearing aid functionthe AirPods Max is the big loser in history.

Indeed, the Apple headset was only entitled to a USB-C port and new colors as the only new features. And the bad news in all this is that the Apple company is not considering any developments for this product, at least for the moment.

Through his latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman shared that no new models were planned for the next few years. He states in detail that Apple has “no concrete plans” to update its headset “in any meaningful way.”

Consumers who were planning to wait for an improved version potentially launching in the coming months can now moderate their expectations for this long-awaited AirPods Max 2.

“The helmets don't sell well enough to justify the investment in development, but they are also not a big enough failure for us to abandon them completely,” adds the Bloomberg journalist.

Mark Gurman nevertheless admits that theAirPods Max has “a market, even if their price is high and their technology outdated. He mentions in particular that a good number of athletes in high-end Los Angeles gyms wear the Apple device.

The informant ends by specifying that the Apple firm will keep the AirPods Max in its current form for the “foreseeable future”, thus suggesting that we will have to wait several years before discovering a more advanced version.
