Apple AirPods Max Now Support Lossless Audio Playback

AirPods Max is getting a major upgrade. Apple just announced that its high-end headphones will support Lossless audio, a feature that’s been missing from its lineup. This means AirPods Max owners will be able to experience music in its purest form, just like the artists intended.

What’s Lossless Audio?

Lossless audio is a way of listening to music that preserves the original sound quality. It’s like having a direct feed from the recording studio. With Lossless, you get to hear every nuance, every detail, and every frequency that the artist meant for you to hear. Apple Music has over 100 million songs available in Lossless, and now AirPods Max users can tap into that library.

To get Lossless audio on AirPods Max, you’ll need to update your firmware to the latest version, which is coming in April. The update will be available for free on iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4. You’ll also need to connect your AirPods Max to your device using a USB-C cable. Note that wireless Lossless listening isn’t possible yet, but this update is a big step forward for audiophiles.

What to Expect

With this update, AirPods Max will be able to play Lossless audio at 48 kHz, 24-bit. This means you’ll get to experience your favorite songs with unprecedented clarity and detail. Whether you’re a music lover or an audiophile, this update is a game-changer. So, get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Lossless audio with AirPods Max.
