How To Change AirPods Max Ear Cushions

Are you not familiar with how to change your AirPods Max ear cushions?

We may have heard some negative feedback about AirPods Max even after a few months of its release. But even if that is the case, many users are still choosing to use it because of its ‘stunning over-ear design with high-fidelity audio’. Moreover, it’s a waste not to use it after spending almost a thousand bucks for it.

It may look like AirPods Max are just your average headphones, but it is actually built uniquely among others. The headband is adjustable, and together with the ear cushions, they are made from a breathable knit mesh. The earcups are also equipped with memory foam for that maximum amount of comfort and contour as much as possible.

But on top of all these, AirPods Max also features removable ear cushions. However, not all users are familiar with how to change them. 

So in this article, we will go over why you need to change your AirPods Max ear cushions. But do not worry, as we will also guide you through the steps on how to do it.

Without further ado, let’s dive right in!

1. Why Change Your AirPods Max Ear Cushions?

Whether your ear cushions are bound for replacement because of issues like condensation or the battery easily draining or just want a change in color, you will eventually have to change your AirPods Max ear cushions. Luckily, these ear cushions are magnetic, so replacing them will not be that difficult as you have imagined.

The packaging of the standalone ear cushions may also imply that Apple had intended these for customization, rather than for replacements. This is a pro for users who are looking forward to matching their silver or black AirPods Max to sky blue, green, or even red ear cushions for a more unique feel.

The box also looks similar to the Apple Watch’s band packaging. This is evident in its ‘simple pull tab’ design to remove the ear cushions from the box. Eventually, this can be used to store another set of cushions that are not in use.
