Apple's 2024 first-generation USB-C refresh is an earlier over-ear ANC headphone in five U.S. finishes. Its documented Bluetooth ANC, included USB-C digital-audio cable, and optional USB-C-to-3.5 mm analog cable are kept as distinct operating routes.

Why consider this model?

  • A documented fit for a buyer comparing an earlier AirPods Max generation who wants over-ear ANC, Bluetooth 5.0, an Apple-account device-switching workflow, or USB-C wired lossless audio on compatible Apple hosts. Its 3.5 mm source path exists only through a separate cable and is assessed independently from Bluetooth ANC.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • The published ANC-on maximum is 20 hours, and the headset weighs 386.2 g before a buyer considers personal fit. Apple's sources do not document simultaneous two-device Bluetooth, ANC-on runtime over USB-C or analog, or powered-off passive playback. The USB-C refresh is still first generation: its H1 chip and feature set should not be confused with AirPods Max 2's H2 update and Apple's claimed ANC improvement.
