To solve the battery issue they need to be reset by pressing both the ‘digital crown’ and the ‘ANC button’ at the same time, for about 15 seconds until the light goes amber then turns white. People in online forums say that this fixes the battery issue.

I've had this issue too. I also thought it might have just been me since I hadn't heard too many reports of this. But now I see that it is a widespread issue. I've gone from 65% -> 1% overnight.

it is not just you... there's a lot talking about this in macforums.. seems like a software issue

I have the same issue with battery drain, you are not alone

Having MAJOR battery issues with my AirPods Max. Mine were delivered Thursday 01/07/2021 around 8:30pm. I unboxed them, put them on and they were at around 65% battery. I listened to music, talked on the phone, watched a few minutes of some shows that utilize Dolby so I could test Spatial audio, went through the different modes, adjusted the sound in the accessibility settings…you know the works. After about 2-3 hours of use, I plugged them up to the charger (out of the case). Stayed up a bit doing some work and decided to get some sleep around 2:00am on Friday, 01/08/2021. Before going to sleep I picked up the headphones to see how much charge they had and they were fully charged to 100%. I then placed them into the case so they could go into low power mode and went to bed. Friday, 01/08/2021 around 8:30am I woke up to go about my day. Around 2:30pm a friend of mine called, so I grabbed my AirPods Max so I wouldn’t have to hold the phone and because I was now in the mood for music while I worked. The AirPods Max were at 20%!!!! They drain 80% in 12 hours IN THE CASE. I opened a case with Apple and they scheduled a call with me to talk about the issue and figure out next steps. Long story short from that call, they put a profile on my phone to monitor Bluetooth usage because they think that it’s possible the AirPods Max weren’t in the case properly or somehow weren’t disconnected from my phone and therefore burned through battery. They also had me enable Assistive Touch so we could enable a quick button to save the logs and data in a file for them to analyze on Tuesday 01/12/2021 at 8:00am (since we talked Friday and the person I was talking to wouldn’t be working again until Tuesday). I also agreed to take screenshots and notate every action: when I put them on the charger, take them off of the charger, when I put them down to stop using them or right before I put them in the case for low power mode. I already questioned the idea of it being connected burning that much battery because even if it were connected, my phone goes into DND at 1:00am automatically. So no calls, no text alerts, etc. I also don’t listen to music while I sleep so my phone was literally doing NOTHING while I was sleeping. So although it isn’t the case because they weren’t connected, to drain 80% in 12 hours from simply being connected would still unacceptable. Today, Saturday, 01/09/2021 I had the SAME drain issue. From my screenshots and notes I used the for the first time after charging them again (keep in mind I put them on the charger while I was on the phone with Apple for about an hour) and after my call with Apple yesterday, Friday, 01/08/2021. Here is my usage. - 4:29pm to took a call. - 100% - 4:42pm Finished the call - 100% - 4:44pm placed in the low power case - 100% - 5:53pm removed from the case to use with my MacBookPro and iPhone 12 Pro Max to play/test them out more - 100% - 6:37pm back in the case while not in use and verified that they were in fact properly in the case by looking on the battery widget on the iPhone 12 Pro Max to see if they were connected AND looking at my Bluetooth settings on my MacBook Pro. - 100% - Today, Saturday, 01/09/2021 at 10:22am I removed them from the case for the first time since putting them in the case at 6:37pm last night. - 20% This is a HUGE issue that they need to solve. Not only do I feel these are about $100 overpriced due to the lack of Water Resistance when taking note of those who are having that weird condensation/moisture issue, but they don’t hold a candle to my NuraPhone in terms of battery life. I wear those for a 4-5 hour flight from Georgia to California and back, use them to listen to an album and then don’t use them for a few weeks or even a month and when I put them on…battery at 80% LOL. They are AWESOME. The battery issue, if as wide spread as it seems, makes the AirPods Max overpriced by $200 in my opinion. All of that said, it seems someone fixed this issue for theirs: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNZ-mqZ62c2wqHU.html

Wow I am getting mine in February space gray color.

Had this issue too. Had to do a complete factory reset and it hasn’t done it since. But I will say that the constant battery drain no matter how small makes me think that battery degradation will happen a lot earlier than there other products.

You’re not the only one, my battery drains on mine too, got it on release date, love them but even in the case they are draining battery

I noticed this with mine, since the headphones can’t turn off it seems to drain extremely fast. I’m not returning mine though because I feel like Apple is notorious for sending software updates to correct their issues.

I bought some recently and literally i had them at 75% and i put them away in the case for about 20 minutes until i used them again for a call and all the sudden the battery was at 67%

Good video

I'm dealing with the same issue. It's not just you. I don't know if its defective I just feel like they need to give us a update, or replacement.

I’m returning my 2nd pair because of the battery issue. It doesn’t hold a charge at all. Put it in my case over night, next day I go to use em and battery is at 1%! I’ve reset them…no resolve. A great pair of headphones, but this is a major flaw.

So overall is it worth it?

You will be very happy now. Just sprinkle a little water on the left (not the right) ear cup and it will grow a power button. Really works!

Mine doing the same thing same color too ;(

I was losing about 5% per hour while in the "case"

Did you notice any condensation?

Try out the Nuraphones, you’ll change your mind.

What about the battery use?

The battery drain issue is really much ado about nothing. Check out Max Tech’s video where he dutifully and carefully explains these two reported issues (battery drain and condensation): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5edlMSSx6epeIU.html

There are hundreds of people with that problem. Check macrumors forums under AirPods : AirPods Max Severe Battery Drain Even apple is aware of this problem too.

Put mine into the case then they actually go flat

they are gonna fix this issue on a software update, your very impatient. 🥴

My battery is just fine.maybe a flaw in yours.
