Apple announced a new set of AirPods Max during its event last week, updating them with USB-C and in a new set of colors. The switch to USB-C is a welcome one, to be sure, but Apple changed nothing else about them.

Issue: The latest AirPods Pro (and even the $129 AirPods 4) get a more advanced H2 chip, which improves battery life and ANC performance and is necessary for Apple’s adaptive transparency mode. But the AirPods Max are stuck on the older H1 without any of the new features. Fix: None. It still has the H1, farcically.

Everything you need to know to pre-order the new Apple AirPods 4, including the model with active noise cancellation, and the lightly refreshed AirPods Max headphones.
