Apple’s expensive new AirPods Max headphones have been out for a while now, which means a lot of you guys must be using them already. The AirPods Max offer impressive features including pretty great noise cancellation, incredible sound, along with all the usual features that AirPods offer in general. However, if you want to use them even better, check out these 5 tips to customise and enhance your AirPods Max experience.
Most of the time, the usual settings on your AirPods Max will suit you just fine. However, there are things that you can change here, and some of these have proved really useful to me.
- Customise Digital Crown Direction for Volume Control
- Disable Automatic Head Detection
- Customise What the Noise Cancellation Button Does
- Disable Automatic Switching
- Reset AirPods Max
1. Customise Digital Crown Direction for Volume Control
One thing that was immediately unintuitive to me after I got the AirPods Max was the digital crown. It’s great, but the direction of its rotation to increase volume felt reversed to me. If you’re in the same boat, you can customise the direction you need to rotate the digital crown in to increase or decrease the volume.
- Tap on the ‘i’ icon next to AirPods Max.
This one is actually something I didn’t change yet, but I definitely will once offices re-open and I need to talk with people while listening to music. Basically, the AirPods Max have head detection, which means the music automatically pauses if you remove them from your head, or even remove one earcup to the side.
By default, the noise cancellation button on the AirPods Max switches between Transparency mode and noise cancellation. However, you can change what the button does pretty easily if you like.
- Under the category that reads “button cycles between” you can choose the modes you want the button to switch between.
Automatic switching is a feature I use all the time with my iPhone and Mac. However, a lot of people have reported that the feature keeps switching devices when it’s not needed, which can be annoying.
Lastly, you should know how to reset your AirPods Max if needed. In my case, for some reason the AirPods Max would connect to my iPhone and Mac, but never with my iPad. That was really annoying, and if you have similar issues, resetting might solve them.
