The AirPods Max have an Apple H1 chip and software for lossless audio, 'pro-level' active noise cancellation (they remove up to two times more background noise), and spatial audio. With Transparency Mode, you can tune in and out of the world around you. But these headphones aren't just about the specs. They also have an undeniable cool factor that you just don't get with other over-ears.
'Wirelessly, when the signal switches to lossy, everything still sounds crisp, but that sense of openness is gone, especially on live recordings,' Mashable's Senior Editor Stan Schroeder says of the new lossless audio feature. 'Switching back to lossless, and the complex interplay between the instruments is easier to digest as each individual instrument has more space to breathe.'
You'll get up to 20 hours of listening time on a single charge (with ANC activated or Transparency Mode enabled), and five minutes of charging gives you 1.5 hours of listening.
They come in five colors: blue, midnight, purple, orange, and starlight. You'll also get an AirPods Max Smart Case plus a Lightning to USB-C charging cable.

2 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever
Amazon's constant innovation is a hallmark of a business that will still be around in 50 years. Netflix is a highly profitable entertainment business that is still finding new avenues of growth. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Buying growth stocks that you intend to hold forever is a smart strategy. It forces you to think about companies that will still be around in 50 years. This raises the odds that the stock will keep compounding in value over your lifetime, which is the lazy way to get rich without doing much work. If this sounds like a good plan, here are two stocks to consider buying. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has profitable revenue streams coming from e-commerce, cloud computing, retail advertising, and third-party fulfillment services. It generated $21 billion in free cash flow on $650 billion of revenue over the last year. The foundation of Amazon's business is its online store, making up 37% of first-quarter revenue. Its wide selection, delivery infrastructure, and large customer base with more than 200 million Prime members give Amazon a strong competitive advantage. Amazon's investments in robotics to automate inventory management and order processing are strengthening its competitive advantage in a $4 trillion global e-commerce market. Amazon continues to push the limits of delivery speeds. In Q1, it set a new record for items delivered the same or next day. It's probably not by accident that this accomplishment follows the unveiling of its next-generation fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 2024. This facility is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and uses 10 times more robotics than the company's other facilities. Amazon said its new fulfillment center will set a new standard for the retail industry. This is an incredibly innovative company that has progressed from selling out of a garage 30 years ago to using AI to deliver millions of items at blazing speed. That's the kind of business you want to invest in. Amazon's investments in AI bolster its long-term prospects. Analysts currently expect the company's earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 17% in the coming years, which reflects expectations for improving margins in its retail business, in addition to strong growth from other high-margin services like cloud computing and advertising. Amazon has a lot of levers it can pull to create shareholder returns. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) stock continues to hit new highs. It has evolved from a DVD-by-mail rental service 20 years ago to a dominant streaming service. Over the last year, the company generated $7 billion in free cash flow on $40 billion of revenue, and it keeps growing. Its growing cash flow paves the way for increasing content spend to keep winning more subscribers. People have varying entertainment preferences, and Netflix can afford to make a wide variety of content that pleases everyone. It spent $17 billion in content production last year and still reported a stellar 22% profit margin. Netflix still has a huge opportunity internationally. Its growing budget will allow it to invest in widening its content offering to appeal to different cultures. Netflix started investing in local infrastructure to support its growth plans a decade ago and is now producing content in more than 50 countries. What's more, Netflix is testing new content formats to widen the viewership. Its livestream of the Taylor-Serrano fight in November was the most-watched professional women's sports event in U.S. history. With more than 700 million people watching content on its platform, Netflix could also see advertising revenue soar in the coming years. Ad-supported subscriber plans come at a lower price point, helping the company expand its audience reach and boost margins at the same time. Analysts expect its earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 22% over the next several years. Netflix's strong brand and high-margin business have the makings of a stock that is going to reward shareholders for many years. Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them.

Amazon to invest $10B in North Carolina for AI data centers
Amazon is investing $10 billion to create data centers in North Carolina aimed at expanding its artificial intelligence and cloud computing technology capabilities. The move, announced Wednesday, is its latest attempt to compete with rivals Google and Microsoft in the artificial intelligence space. It will also significantly boost its presence in the state, creating at least 500 new high-skilled jobs that range from data center engineers and network specialists, to engineering operations managers and security specialists. "This investment supports the [Trump] Administration's vision to strengthen American infrastructure and further safeguard our nation's data," said Shannon Kellogg, Amazon's vice president of public policy. "By creating hundreds of high-skilled jobs and partnering with local communities, Amazon is helping to drive economic growth and advance U.S. leadership in AI." Amazon Introduces Beta Ai Shopping Tool, 'Interests' The investment will also support thousands of other jobs in the Amazon Web Services data center supply chain, the company said. "Generative AI is driving increased demand for advanced cloud infrastructure and compute power, and our investment will support the future of AI from AWS data centers in the Tar Heel State," Amazon said Wednesday in a blog post. "This deployment of cutting-edge cloud computing infrastructure will strengthen North Carolina's position as an innovation hub." Read On The Fox Business App Amazon has been racing to invest in its artificial intelligence infrastructure. In January, Amazon Web Services announced plans to invest an estimated $11 billion to expand its infrastructure in Georgia. Big tech companies have invested tens of billions of dollars in AI. Amazon Rolling Out Ai-drive Alexa+ Service In a 2024 annual letter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said "generative AI is going to reinvent virtually every customer experience we know, and enable altogether new ones about which we've only fantasized." Leveraging this technology is one way to stay competitive, according to Jassy. "If your customer experiences aren't planning to leverage these intelligent models, their ability to query giant corpuses of data and quickly find your needle in the haystack, their ability to keep getting smarter with more feedback and data, and their future agentic capabilities, you will not be competitive," he wrote.
