Apple launches wireless headphones priced at ₹60,000, costlier than some iPhones

Apple on Tuesday unveiled AirPods Max, a set of wireless over-ear headphones priced at $59,900, even costlier than some iPhone and iPad models. The new AirPods will have up to 20 hours battery life, and will be shipped to customers from next Tuesday.

The company said the AirPods Max contains nine-microphones to help reduce wind noise on phone calls, provide noise cancellation and also adjust audio levels in real time using microphones inside the ear cups.

Apple had launched its newest iPhone range with faster 5G connectivity in October, a month later than its usual September release, due to pandemic-linked delays.
