Apple will release a software update next month that will bring lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio to AirPods Max with USB-C.
The update will make AirPods Max the only headphones capable of both creating and mixing in Personalized Spatial Audio and head tracking.
AirPods Max with USB-C will support 24-bit, 48kHz lossless audio and reduce lag time to provide an immersive audio experience, especially for gamers and live streamers.
Owners of the AirPods Max with Lightning connector will not receive these upgraded audio features.
