The upcoming update will make AirPods Max "the only headphones that enable musicians to both create and mix in Personalised Spatial Audio with head tracking."

Nearly six months after release, USB-C versions of the Apple AirPods Max will FINALLY get lossless audio playback via USB-C.

To use the 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio and ultra-low-latency audio, the headphones must be connected to the audio source through a USB-C cable. When Apple updated the AirPods Max with USB-C last September, the new USB-C port was enabled only for charging. The Lightning-equipped AirPods Max are not included in the feature update.
