Airpods Max drain to 1% while in their "Smart Case" (Not Smart).

Can anyone explain why when I put my Airpods Max back in their case at 60% battery life and the next morning they we're at 1% battery life? This has happend to me multiple times with the magnetic flap closed. So I know I'm putting them in the case correctly. Feels like this needs to be a software fix. Apple please give us the ability to turn these headphones off.

Hey guys just to say something useful. I Reset the AirPods max to factory settings and that fixed the problem... At least for me, I did it like 3 weeks ago and they last as advertised. Hope this can help.

You only need to keep pushed both buttons (The Crown and the noise canceling button) until the LED blink orange or amber. Then you connect them as new and you should be fine.


Hope this help. Cheers!

I had the same problem with the Airpod Max I bought late December.

Went to bed with 65% battery and put them into the case. Next day < 10% battery.

I found it very disappointing and I absolutely disliked to always use the case.

Because of this I sold them even if sound quality was good.


If I put on the headphones in one room and end up on another room, I have to walk around the house just to find the case.

To me this is a real no go in real life.
