Apple’s AirPods Max was released in December 2020. These wireless headphones came with a noise cancellation feature and a sturdy metal build. The company will most likely launch its successor in the future. Earlier, we reported that according to posts by various AirPods Max users, the device seems to have been suffering from condensation, which may be damaging their device.
Upon removing the headphones’ earcups, users notice water building inside them, raising the question of whether it will damage the headsets. The company has not yet publicly acknowledged the issue.
As per the report by 404media, a class-action lawsuit regarding this issue has been filed in California, and affected consumers have been talking to the brand about a settlement. Several people are facing this problem and have reported that their headsets are losing their noise cancellation feature, and that they hear a buzzing noise.
The plaintiff has been engaged in negotiations with Apple for several months in an attempt to reach a settlement. Apple’s legal representatives are not contesting the presence of condensation within the AirPods. However, they note, “Unlike other over-ear headphones, these headphones are magnetic and removable, making any moisture retained from body heat around the ear more noticeable to users when they remove the ear cups.”
Consumers are still concerned about buying AirPods Max (which retail for over $500 worldwide!) and whether they will face a similar issue with condensation. We will have to wait for Apple to make an official statement regarding the issue, clarifying what caused these people’s headphones to malfunction.
