The Apple AirPods Max are now reaching more and more buyers. However, some models have started to experience problems when changing ANC mode. This is how you can fix it.
But what exactly is the error? The AirPods Max have a button on the side that you can use to switch between "noise cancellation" and "transparency" modes. However, some users are currently experiencing that the mode only changes on one side. After pressing the button, Active Noise Canceling may be active on one side while Transparency mode is working on the other. Apple has not yet released a fix for the error in a software update. In the meantime, however, there is a way to solve the problem, at least temporarily.
Apple AirPods Max: How to fix ANC mode switching error
A reset of the headset should temporarily fix any errors until a software update by Apple. Proceed as follows:
- Make sure that the AirPods still have enough remaining battery. Plug the headphones into the power supply for safety.
- Press the button to change the ANC modes and the Digital Crown at the same time. On the right-hand side, the status LED should start flashing after a while.
After that, the AirPods Max are reset. Repeat the above steps if this misconduct should become noticeable again.
Hello, Apple was unfortunately unable to help me with my problem. Despite cleaning and resetting the AirPods Max several times, I can no longer connect them properly and they always quickly switch to sleep mode. What else can I do?
