Компания Apple показала свои новые беспроводные наушники, выполненные в полноразмерном формате — AirPods Max. В Apple обещают, что каждая чашка подстроится под анатомию пользователя, а "дышащий" материал не доставит дискомфорта при долгом прослушивании музыки. AirPods Max оснащены 40-миллиметровым динамическим драйвером, который обеспечит насыщенное звучание. AirPods Max автоматически определяет, когда находятся на голове пользователя и автоматически ставит воспроизведение на паузу, даже при поднятии одной чашки. В США AirPods Max предлагаются за 549 долларов (примерно 40 000 рублей по текущему курсу, без учета налогов штата).

To skip songs on your AirPods, you can use the double-tap action on the left or right earbud. Only those with Gen 1 AirPods or Gen 2 AirPods can modify skipping songs through the double-tap feature as AirPods Pro do not allow you to adjust this. The default setting for both AirPods and AirPods Pro is to double-tap one of your AirPods to skip the song that is currently playing. So you'll only be able to change the double-tap settings if you're using the standard 1st generation or 2nd generation AirPods. AirPods Pro will have options to change the left and right press-and-hold settings instead of the left and right double-tap settings.
