PSA: The new USB-C model of AirPods Max is missing important features.
The updated version of Apple's AirPods Max for this year focuses on transitioning to USB-C and color changes, rather than being a complete replacement for the original AirPods Max 2. Unfortunately, the new USB-C model has lost important features that were previously supported.
AirPods Max now includes a USB-C port but lacks wired playback functionality.
The original AirPods Max with Lightning is largely similar to the new USB-C model, except for the different charging port and colors.
However, Apple's initial AirPods Max had several advantages:
"Wired playback was supported."
"If you purchased an Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Audio Cable, you could connect your Lightning AirPods Max to any headphone jack for wired audio enjoyment."
This feature was excellent for various use cases such as flying, podcast recording, and more. Although it didn't provide perfect lossless audio reproduction technologically, having a wired option was certainly beneficial.
"However, as discussed in recent podcasts, Apple made changes to the latest AirPods Max."
AirPods Max does not support wired playback using USB-C.
When connected via USB-C, it doesn't function. Additionally, Apple has not provided an adapter to enable this feature. Various Reddit threads have recorded experiences of users attempting wired playback with different third-party adapters, but none have succeeded.
"Can Alibaba revive wired support?"
The hope is not entirely lost.
It's always possible that Apple will provide wired playback through a new adapter or via an AirPods Max firmware update. However, we do not base our purchasing decisions on this possibility.
The new USB-C AirPods Max supported Lightning as its predecessor but now lacks important features.
Are you aware of these changes? Do you think Apple will make wired playback possible in the future? Please let us know in the comments section.
