Apple AirPods Max 2 review: Is the H2 chip and USB-C upgrade worth the switch?

From long-haul flights to office focus, we put the upgraded AirPods Max 2 to the test to see if the new H2 chip and the transition to USB-C justify the high-end price tag.

As an OG user, the switch to a USB-C port on the AirPods Max 2 makes charging much more convenient. Picture: Noel Campion.

I’ve been using the new Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones for the last month, while travelling to Australia and back, working in the office, and listening to music and watching movies. I’m coming from the perspective of an original AirPods Max user to see if the upgrades make a difference.
