News Summary

• AirPods Max 2 are the first main upgrade to Apple’s flagship headphones since they launched six years ago.
• The improvements are almost all chip-based ones, with nothing external other than the USB-C charging port and the colours having changed.Physically, they look and feel exactly the same as a pair bought last year (or even my original 2020 pair) But under the hood, there are some changes that marginally improve both the sound and active noise cancellation quality, both of which were already very good.
