If you're experiencing issues, the first thing you should do before anything else is reset the headphones and see if that resolves the problem. If that doesn't work, or if you've decided to return the headphones, you can reset them to factory settings and unpair them from your iCloud account.
How to Reset AirPods Max
- Before you reset your AirPods Max, make sure they have some charge by plugging them into a charging point via the supplied USB-C to Lightning Cable.
- Press and hold the Noise Control button and the Digital Crown until the LED status light at the bottom of the right-hand earcup flashes amber.
If that doesn't solve your problem, you can reset the AirPods Max to factory settings. If you go down that route to return the headphones to Apple, remember to unpair them from your iCloud account.
