Apple did not include a power button on the AirPods Max, so there s no definitive way to turn them off, but Apple says that putting the headphones inside the included Smart Case puts them into an ultra low power mode.
That s left a lot of questions about what happens to the AirPods Max when they re not inside the case yet not being actively used, so we ve done some testing to attempt to figure out what s going on.
YouTuber Marques Brownlee (aka MKBHD) has said that the AirPods Max enter into a sleep mode after about two hours when just removed from the head and set down somewhere, and it does appear that the AirPods Max are staying actively connected to an iPhone for hours at a time.
