00:00It has been five years but we finally have the second generation of AirPods Max. These might
00:05look familiar but this is in fact AirPods Max 2. It's a pretty familiar box for Apple AirPods Max
00:112 and along with a similar design, similar packaging, the other good thing is these retain
00:16the $549 price point in the U.S. The real change under the hood here is with that H2 chip.
00:22Up to
00:221.5 times better active noise cancellation, an even better transparency mode which I think will
00:27be pretty hard to beat the first gen AirPod Max is because it just sounds so natural as if you're
00:31not wearing headphones. You also get live translations. You can wear these and you know speak with somebody
00:36who's maybe speaking Spanish or French and have it translated back into English. You also get the
00:42new personalized sound so it'll protect your hearing a bit. It has spatial audio improvements. Still the
00:46same battery life. You still charge with USB-C and you do get a USB-C to USB-C cable
00:50in the box. First
00:51impressions, the blue color definitely looks more in line with what we saw with the AirPods Max when
00:56they switched from lightning to USB-C. Versus the first gen, these are definitely a little bit more
01:00muted, not as bright. But let me know what you think about this color and what you think about
