AirPods MaxApple’s most expensive headset, it has been the subject of speculation and rumors since its launch in 2020. However, the latest news shows that the Cupertino company may shelve this product. According to the latest newsletter published by analyst Mark Gurman, Apple has no “significant” plans to refresh the AirPods Max after the recent upgrade to USB-C.

While AirPods Max have a premium design and sound quality that caters to a very demanding audience, their price makes them a best sellerLike other members of the AirPods family. In addition, the lack of significant updates has also limited its popularity. Despite this, Apple decided to keep them in its catalog, albeit without much effort to improve them. Even in renewing its controversial cover.

The future of AirPods Max is uncertain

Gurman summarized the AirPods Max scenario simply: They are not popular enough to justify a significant investment. Although there is a niche market, especially among users looking for a high-quality and custom-designed product, sales have not been high enough to encourage new updates.

In the middle of this year, Apple introduced the second generation AirPods Max, which did not meet expectations at all, four years after its first release. Updated these with USB-C connectivity and new colors for 579 euros.

The current AirPods Max offer a high-quality audio experience but lack some of the newest features of other Apple products. For example, They do not have the H2 chip, which improvements in noise cancellation and spatial audio. Moreover, although its design is attractive, it may be disturbing for some users.

If Gurman’s predictions are correct, We can expect the AirPods Max to remain largely unchanged for years to come. Apple may choose to lower the price of these headphones to make them more attractive to consumers, but it’s unlikely we’ll see a full refresh anytime soon.

AirPods Max represent a risky bet for Apple. Although they are a high quality product Its high price and lack of significant updates limited its commercial success. Although we may see some minor improvements in the future, Apple seems to have decided to focus its efforts on other products, at least for now.
