Apple’s $549 AirPods Max already have a serious bug you should know about

[Jacob Siegal]

• Apple launched the AirPods Max just over a month ago, but some users are already reporting serious battery drain issues when they aren't using the headphones.
• Some early adopters of the AirPods Max claim that their headphones have dropped from fully charged to nearly dead overnight, even while in the Smart Case.
• Apple has yet to address the issue and it's unclear how widespread it might be.

Apple's brand new AirPods Max were praised by critics upon release for their impressive build and sound quality, but the $549 headphones also have a rather serious flaw. As spotted by Dutch blog AppleTips (via 9to5Mac), some early adopters of the AirPods Max have reported significant battery drain issues with the headphones, with users claiming that the battery is dropping from 100% to 1% or even completely dead overnight.

One of the interesting quirks of the AirPods Max is that despite being full-sized, over-ear headphones, they don't have a physical power button or switch. When you're done using them, Apple expects you to place them in the Smart Case that ships alongside the headphones, at which point they "go into a low power mode immediately to preserve battery charge." Unfortunately, that isn't making a difference for some early adopters.
