Apple has just announced the AirPods Max 2 at long last, a good five years after the December 2020 launch of the original AirPods Max.

The new model will be available on March 25 for $549 and includes Apple’s H2 headphone chip, the same as in the AirPods Pro 3, and a new “high dynamic range amplifier” for improved sound.
