If you are someone who wants to buy an AirPods Max or even if you are a proud owner of this new headphone, you probably want to learn different tips and tricks about it for sure. After using the AirPods Max continuously, you also would like to know how long they can work, and for this reason, you will definitely also require information about its battery percentage that you can easily check on your iPhone. In this article, we will tell you in detail which is the total battery life of AirPods Max and how to check its battery status on your iPhone.
AirPods Max Battery Life
According to Apple, it was confirmed that the battery life of AirPods Max can last up to 20 hours with ANC and spatial audio turned on, but various tests show the headphones can easily achieve a longer duration of autonomy.
Apple also claims that “if you charge your AirPods Max for 5 minutes you will get 1.5 hours of listening time”. The test gave as a result 1 hour and 39 minutes of playback after 5 minutes of recharging starting from completely discharged headphones, so also in this case Apple’s claims are in line since the difference is a few minutes.
Apple has provided answers to questions that suggest that the Smart Case is not all that essential to preserve the battery life of AirPods Max. In fact, when the AirPods Max are not worn but not inserted into the Smart Case, they still enter a “low power mode” after five minutes. If left untouched, the AirPods Max headphones remain in this mode for 72 hours before entering an “ultra-low power” state which disables Bluetooth and the Find My function to further conserve any remaining charge.
The AirPods Max, as mentioned above, thus has a confirmed autonomy of 20 hours of listening with active noise cancellation and spatial audio enabled. In 5 minutes of fast charging, they offer 1.5 hours of listening.
