Can I sweat with AirPods Max?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

I can provide a more detailed and personal answer for you.

When it comes to using AirPods Max for sweating, unfortunately, it’s not recommended. As an avid gym-goer myself, I understand the importance of having headphones that can handle a good sweat session. However, the AirPods Max and their case are not sweat or water resistant.

Using AirPods Max during exercise or in humid conditions where you’re likely to sweat can potentially lead to damage. Sweat can seep into the headphones and cause malfunctioning or affect the audio quality. The lighter colors of the AirPods Max, such as silver or white, may also show staining over time if exposed to sweat regularly.

I understand that it’s disappointing, especially considering the high price tag of the AirPods Max, but it’s important to take these limitations into consideration. Apple designed the AirPods Max primarily for indoor use and casual listening rather than intense workout sessions.

If you’re specifically looking for headphones to use while exercising, there are other options available in the market that are specifically designed for sport and fitness activities. These headphones often come with sweat and water resistance ratings to ensure durability and performance even in challenging conditions.

I hope this helps clarify the situation regarding using AirPods Max for sweating. While they may not be suitable for intense workouts or outdoor activities in rainy weather, they still offer excellent audio quality and a premium listening experience for everyday use.
