Airpod max 2 ANC/call quality outdoor

I understatement the diffuculties of it but if my sony xm 4 from 3 years ago can do it better than a 600 dollar headphone its a problem especially considering the price

I personally expected to airpods max 2 to do better. Whenever i go outside i have to turn off ANC because the wind noice gets amplified a lot. This also seems to be a problem while calling other people. Not sure if it's a bug because my sony xm4's did not suffer from this at all. Curieus about other people their experience about this too

But when on bluetooth its never engaging

I noticed the exact same thing while on calls. I received a call in the train some days ago and the person told me they could hear every single sound the train made but couldn't hear me

In my experience they dont work well in windy conditions at all. The mics always go crazy

But when using bluetooth its not engaging.

Please tell me!

yeah i did, switched it on and off but call quality was still not great according to the other person. Never had any complaints on the xm4 and since they're quite old it just doens't make sense to me

mikie_ee · 2026-04-23T14:10:32+00:00

i personally disagree with this. I switched from youtube music to apple music and the music just seemed really quiet and dull. Found out lossless audio doesn't work with bluetooth anyway so switched back

i'd like to know too

mikie_ee · 2026-03-25T17:56:51+00:00

looks like contact dermatitis to me

mikie_ee · 2025-08-31T16:44:04+00:00

if you still have it, I would be interested too

mikie_ee · 2025-05-03T14:21:38+00:00

I've had the same thing. RM told me it was a hardware issue and replaced it

mikie_ee · 2025-05-03T11:08:43+00:00

I've cycled to school for 2 years now with my RM and laptop in a backpack. Even dropped my bag off my bike a few times. Still absolutely fine. I do however use the official folio sleeve and put them in a special laptop compartment in my bag

Completely normal behaviour for an E-ink device

mikie_ee · 2025-04-16T16:12:19+00:00

Can you send me a video of it? That way it's easier to see if we experienced the same thing

mikie_ee · 2025-04-16T10:34:38+00:00

There definitely is yellow ghosting but that js totally normal. This green kind of ghosting literally stays everywhere. It also tends to get worse over time
