The most recent pair of AirPods Max with USB-C lacked something important for audio fans \u2014 a wired listening mode. The cable in the box was only there to charge the cans rather than listen to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, thanks to anupcoming update from Apple, the USB-C equipped AirPods Max aren’t just getting cabled listening, but you’ll also find a couple of different modes out of the box. Lossless audio (up to 24bit, 48Khz) and low latency mode could make them a much tougher contender for thebest wireless headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll be able to use the cable that comes in the box with your AirPods Max to listen to music, and there’s a new cable you can buy that will let you plug your headphones into a 3.5mm headphone jack \u2014 a big bonus for music producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once plugged in, you can listen to music at a much higher, lossless bitrate \u2014 24-bit 48Khz. That’s not quite as high as some of thebest music streaming servicesgo, likeQobuz, but it’s a big step up from the wireless limitations that the Max has been subjected to before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means you’ll be able to get more detail out of yourApple Musiclistening. It’s also going to apply to much higher-quality Spatial Audio mixes. Apple also thinks it will be a big bonus to music producers, who can now get much better sound out of their AirPods Max and connect to their mixing hardware physically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple says, “Using the USB-C cable, AirPods Max will become the only headphones that enable musicians to both create and mix in Personalised Spatial Audio with head tracking.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also coming to the AirPods Max and their new wired listening is a low latency mode. That will reduce the time it takes for audio to reach the headphones, perfect for gaming and live-streaming applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
