Apple’s $549 AirPods Max 2 add better ANC and live translation

Apple has just announced the AirPods Max 2 with better noise cancellation and sound quality. The second generation of Apple's over-ear headphones starts at $549 and comes equipped with an H2 chip that powers a bunch of new features, including AI-powered live translation, which translates speech to your preferred language in real-time.

As noted by Apple, the AirPods Max 2 offer active noise-cancellation that's 1.5 times more effective when compared to the original AirPods Max, which launched in 2020.
