Apple introduces AirPods Max 2

Any indication of the AirPods Max 2 battery life time compared to the original?

Two questions not answered by their press release: 1. Will it have sleep detection like all other H2 based Airpods? 2. Did they make any changes to the goofy sleep case, where the only turn off the Airpods max is their weird case? These are the two things that I'm looking for in an upgrade to my current Max's.

I always feel that Max is very hot and heavy.

> "For the highest-quality audio across music, movies, and games, the new AirPods Max support 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio when connected with the included USB-C cable." I feel like this should have been 24-bit at 192 kHz. I'm wondering why they couldn't do that, especially since Apple Music supports it and they're talking about a wired connection. Although they write: > "with the included USB-C cable". Does that mean a third-party cable could handle more, or is there some other limitation? The wording seems a bit odd, no?

I am surprised it got updated without redesign because AirPod Max was perhaps one of the worst Apple product in recent history. Big, Bulky, Heavy and not comfortable. Surprisingly people say consumer will blindly follow Apple but instead you see far more Sony XM series headphone around.

Pretty disappointing update. AirPods Pro can do wireless lossless audio streaming with the Vision Pro. Really expected them to add that to these for streaming music from your phone. That would have justified the price for me.
