Apple is stepping up its game for audiophiles and creators alike. The tech giant has announced that AirPods Max will soon support lossless audio and ultra-low latency when connected via USB-C.
With this update, AirPods Max will unlock 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio, preserving every detail of the original recordings. Even better, Personalized Spatial Audio will now support lossless playback, offering a richer and more immersive listening experience.
Music lovers will gain access to over 100 million lossless tracks on Apple Music, ensuring top-tier sound quality across the platform.

But it’s not just about listening—creators will also benefit. Musicians and producers can take advantage of ultra-low latency audio for real-time mixing and recording, enhancing precision and accuracy. Gamers, too, will experience smoother audio synchronization with minimal lag.
This game-changing update will roll out as a free firmware upgrade in April, arriving alongside iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4. However, there’s a catch—only AirPods Max with USB-C will support these new features, leaving Lightning models behind.
Apple continues to refine its audio technology, making AirPods Max an even more compelling choice for professionals and everyday listeners alike.
