Apple Inc.'s AirPods Max are getting a powerful software update in April, bringing studio-quality sound and ultra‑low delay audio, the company revealed on Monday.
The move makes AirPods Max the first headphones to support both music creation and mixing in Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, offering an immersive, real-time experience tailored to each user. The technology is aimed at music creators, offering significant enhancements to songwriting, beat-making, and production. The update will also unlock 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audio, preserving the integrity of original recordings and allowing listeners to "experience music the way the artist created it in the studio."
After the announcement, the tech darling's shares traded 1.04% higher in the premarket session at 9:15 am ET to sell for $220.46.
