Why has the ANC on my AirPods Max headphones deteriorated quite noticeably with the 4E71 firmware update?
it was great prior to the upgrade, now it’s “meh.”
when you spend $500 for a set of headphones expecting top line features to have even one choked like this seems rather underhanded, at best.
Hello rwb712,
If you haven't already, reset your AirPods Max as that can help resolve many odd issues. Here's how: How to reset your AirPods Max - Apple Support
Just in case, here's more information on Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode too: AirPods Pro and AirPods Max Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode - Apple Support
Let us know how it goes.
Take care!
I have this same issue. So do many others as evidenced with a quick google search. The suggested reset fix does not work.
When will a fix be available? If you do not know, could Apple at least acknowledge that there is an issue with the latest AirPod Max firmware update and/or commit to develop a fix? Thanks in advance
Why has my ANC on my AirPods Max headphones decreased dramatically with the 4E71 firmware? I feel like a very good feature on my rather expensive headphones has been robbed from me.
