After many suggestions to try resetting my AirPods Max I did last night and the battery drain is the same as it was.
@drjosephs347 3 жыл бұрын
I did a hard reset and now I have the expected slower battery drain. After about 8 hours in the case, they went from 90 to 86. I have not connected them to my Apple TV in a few days. There a have been some thoughts here about multiple devices in the Apple eco system trying to stay connected. There may be something to that.
@db4a 3 жыл бұрын
@@drjosephs347 If you don’t put them into the case then the Bluetooth and Find My functions still remain active for 72 hrs. This 72 hr drop time is unusually long because Apple wants the AirPods Max to instantly connect to another Apple device when the user places them back on their ears. However, there could be some device grabbing the still active Bluetooth connection of the AirPods Max which could be causing the battery to drain. Using the ear sensors, Apple should automatically drop the Bluetooth and Find My functions if the AirPods Max have been off the ears after 2 hrs. It shouldn’t take long to reestablish those connections when placing them back on the ears. And I’m sure that most users would rather those connections be dropped than have potentially excessive battery drain during standby mode.

There was a recent firmware update that created this bug on the AirPods Max. New firmware is 3C16, unsure what the update was for but this created a bug. Hard reset the AirPods Max and that should easily fix the problem. I had the same issue in the last few days after the update and fixed it through hard reset.

@@CescoCDN A phone is not comparable to a car. What Apple did is place themselves in a non-existent tier (of headphones). It is on them to justify themselves being higher priced, without much of a meaningful difference with other headphones in the $300-$400 range. At the same time they also need to prove why they are meant to compete with certain headphones (think Bose, Soundcore, Drop+ THX Panda, and Sony) rather than audiophile headphones in that price range (think Sennheiser, Audeze, AKG, and AudioTechnica). That is the logic.

Makes me wonder if it needs rebooting. I did the same, putting mine on a headphone hanger without case. It’s been a day and a half and it’s declined by 16% (hung it at 96% and it’s at 80%). At this rate, it’ll easily hit 72 hours. This type of drain happens occasionally with my Apple Watch. Typically after an entire day, it finishes with about 55% charge left. But every once in a while the watch drains down to 10% in less than a day for unknown reasons. I reboot it and everything’s fine. Perhaps rebooting the headphones is needed (from what I read, hold down both buttons for several seconds and the headphones will reboot).

JTL, not clear what the issue is that you are having but I’ll share a couple of thoughts. If they aren’t shutting down appropriately with the magnet case or on their own then that sounds like an under warranty issue. My own experience with the AirPods Max presented one problem, that happened after I connected them to an external amp/dac for A-B testing versus the Pandas and a few other headphones in wired mode. I performed a hard reset and the issue hasn’t recurred.

I returned them, I haven't worn them in 3 or 4 days and my ear is still sore. My left side never had a issue. I guess with my head shape and the way the pressure was distributed around my ear I was having a issue. Kinda sucks because I really liked them.

First couple of days I did not notice the battery quickly draining, but I was using them a significant amount. Since I have not been using them as much lately they have been draining very quickly and at first I thought I was forgetting to charge them but then I made a point to remember when I charged them and I have still been having the same issue.

My suspicion is that this is related to a software/firmware update (I think there was one issued right about the time people started having problems) and that it can be fixed in software or firmware. Also there is some suggestion that rebooting the APMs will fix the problem, at least for a while. From my standpoint, whenever I put my headphones on a stand I plug them into power to charge, so I doubt I would have noticed this without seeing the MacRumors forum and your video. But I agree, when not in use they should not discharge anywhere near this fast. I’ve got a pair on order but they won’t come for a couple of months, so I’ll have ample time to see if this gets resolved.

They won’t do that or else Find My won’t work. Secondly, other AirPods have no power button either. The illusion that the other AirPods have 100% charge when in the case makes people not think about a power button but the case is constantly discharging. The only difference between a Max and the other AirPods is that the Max keeps all of its charge in itself, instead of having it mostly in a case. Would you think differently if the Max had a 2-hour battery life but had about 18 hours in its case? Why does no one think about a power button for other AirPods? Jason’s problem seems unique. My own experience is nothing like his. I had mine hanging on a headphone hanger without case for 36 hours and lost 16% power. If I don’t use it, it’ll easily reach 72 hours with over 60% charge left. Rebooting his headphones may solve the problem of battery drain (hold down both buttons).

Not at all. I live in Iowa and it's snowing right now. Pretty much 0 humidity

Right, we don’t need no stinking off button! Wonder if they can program Siri to turn it off on command?

I have heard them twice. demo set at shop constantly had lightning cable plugged in to be charged. Well, Apple has to stay on target if they want to sustain sales of the Max!

Perhaps it was because of the orientation you left them hanging on.

Maybe I’m missing something but why didn’t apple just add an on/off switch?
@TamingChaos 3 жыл бұрын
None of the AirPods line have off switches. Partially to make sure they can be rung by Find My if you miss place them or need to find them if you lose them. If you have an on off button thieves can just turn it off until they get somewhere safe and reset them. I’d still prefer the choice to turn them off.

I am probably wrong here, but I thought MKBHD said in his video that the low power mode doesn't kick in out of the case after 2hours? Maybe they've changed that with a software upgrade, I'm not an apple tech user, but I seem to remember something like this when they came out

Mkbhd was wrong. Apple clarified later.

Maybe if transparency and/or noise cancelling mode is on, they lose more power.

I’m experiencing the same thing, I’ll charge them and put them in case at 100% and next day I pull them out and they are at 50%

Unfortunately this is not the first case I listen about. I hear about two cases like that and at least in Spain they don’t have spares in the Apple Stores.

Are the batteries replaceable or are they like the Air Pods and you’re going to have to toss them. Lots of tears for those that have failing batteries in the future no matter the condition of the headphones.

Tbh this was expected. 1st gen new tech, “ultra low power mode”, and no power button. All Apple has to do, is fix it with software by adding it to the OS in a update like everything else and allowing voice activation via Siri to turn it off.

Mentioned this on Vyyypers video too, because I'm surprised and worried - really hoping this isnt a hardware/manufacturing fault. I keep thinking about the Airpods Pro repair program that was put out recently. Fingers crossed its a quick over air update. Bummer :(

Believe my pair did a drain not in low power on a hanger with the smart case. Gonna retry it out!
@MacTX 3 жыл бұрын
It's a problem that Apple could probably fix with a software/firmware update that would change it to let you turn them off or into the ultra low mode with one of the two buttons but they probably don't want to because they want you to use that case.

Apple wants the headphones to stay connected as much as possible so they can be seen by the Find My app. I have tried it and it works as expected. Also the instant on is nice with a fast connection to my iPhone or Mac. I would turn off my Sony M3s each time I finished using them so turning them on often was a pain. Maybe Apple can give us a power on off control and let us decide if we want the hassle of managing the power in exchange for better battery life
@MacTX 3 жыл бұрын
@@drjosephs347 That Apple isn't even giving the option is the problem. It's not the first time Apple is stubborn like that and it probably won't be the last.

You should be able to switch it off as an option. That’s crazy that you can’t. Apple needs to update to allow the user to switch off. Problem Solved!

This is definitely an annoying problem. I have decided that if I choose to keep them I’ll just need to leave then plugged in overnight every night. It’s exasperating. 72 hours is ridiculous to wait for ultra low power mode. There are more problems than there are pros so far. Luckily we have that lengthy extended holiday window to decide before I return them.
