FAQ
Does Airpod Pro Max turn off automatically?
When you place your headphones in the Smart Case while not in use, they enter a low-power mode right away to conserve battery charge. After being in the Smart Case for 18 hours, the headphones switch to an ultralow power mode. This mode deactivates Bluetooth and Find My features, allowing for maximum battery life.
Is there a power button on AirPods Max?
The AirPods Max lack a specific button for powering on or off, making the process of doing so unexpectedly complicated. These headphones, produced by Apple, are considered by many to be some of the best noise-canceling headphones available but are also subject to controversy.
How do I put my AirPods Max to sleep?
To place the headphones in a sleep mode instantly when they are not being used, put them in the smart case. If the headphones are not put in the case and are left on a surface like a desk or table, they will eventually enter a similar mode, but it will take longer for them to reach that state.
Conclusion
Turning off your AirPods Max is easy once you know how to do it. You can use the button on the ear cup, the Control Center on your iPhone or iPad, or allow them to automatically turn off after a certain period of inactivity. Whatever method you choose, make sure to turn off your headphones when you’re not using them to conserve battery life.
