FAQ

Do these still work if the AirPods Max run out of battery?

No, unfortunately Apple designed the AirPods Max to only operate with a charge. When the AirPods Max run out of charge, the headphones must be recharged to continue hearing audio with or without an auxiliary cable or Max Mic attached. It is recommended to have a passive GA headset in proximity if using as a primary headset in flight.

How well does the Max Mic stay plugged in?

The Max Mic is a snug connection into the AirPods Max and should not slip with standard use. When adjusting the flexible microphone boom arm hold the Max Mic in place with another hand. To minimize the weight of the cord, use the included cable tie to wrap the extra wire to the AirPods Max Headband. If the connection still feels loose, try to clean out the lightning connector of the AirPods Max and try again.

Does Max Mic have a Warranty?

Yes, Max Mic has a 1 year manufacturer warranty on any component failures. Physical damage and accidental damage is not included. Repairs are always a possibility regardless of damage type. If there are any issues, please reach out to our email!

Can I connect my phone to the AirPods max with bluetooth while using Max Mic?

No, unfortunately Apple designed the AirPods to only allow audio from bluetooth OR an aux cable not both. In order to connect to bluetooth the Max Mic must be disconnected. If you are interested in a future version of Max Mic with bluetooth connectivity please reach out to our email!

Is the Max Mic compatible to wear on the Left Cup?

No, the Max Mic connects to the right cup of the AirPods Max; however, the product can be plugged in reverse and the headphones can be worn backwards to emulate a left cup microphone. The Max Mic will cover some ports on the AirPods Max if plugged in the  reverse position.

No, the Max Mic is specifically designed to be used with the Apple AirPods Max released in 2020 with a lightning connector
