Watch out for humidity that can accumulate under the airpods max 🆕 |Watchgeneration

A user of AirPods Max published these amazing photos of the helmet on Twitter.Under the pad which is very easy to remove on the Apple helmet, it noted a strong humidity with multiple drops of water that have been formed.According to his explanation, this is the result of long indoor use, sitting at his office and not a sports session in the rain as you might think.

When you know that airpods max are not thought of to resist water or the slightest humidity, this is a problem.And besides, this user has already noted dysfunctions with the ear detector that takes care of the automatic break.At this rate, his helmet will quickly be H.S.And probably not supported by Apple, which will have no way to determine whether the use has been "normal".Fortunately, the user in question specifies that the detector worked again after drying.

If it seems unthinkable, it may be because you haven't tried the AirPods Max for several hours.Without reaching this level of humidity, I myself noted that my ears became slightly damp after a few hours of use.It is not common, especially in winter, but the pressure exerted by the pads is high and the Apple helmet is hermetically closed, more than its direct competitors.

If the explanations interest you, this comment published on Reddit will bring technical light on what could happen.To summarize, the heat released by the ears warms up the air contained inside the headphones, so that it can exceed the temperature of the room and quickly arrive at the level where the humidity of the air condenses.A natural phenomenon which would be reinforced by the choice of aluminum on the Max AirPods, and which obviously depends on the temperature in the room and that of the ears.

Several headset users designed by Apple have reported the same problem.Unfortunately, there is no good solution, except to take frequent breaks or at least open the headphones to regularly renew the air they contain.

[MàJ]: one of our readers, who uses his airpods Max normally (no physical activity), told us the same phenomenon.He hardly uses them more than two hours.He got into the habit, in the evening, to remove the pads to allow the cavities of the headphones to dry otherwise this condensation struggles to disappear.

Update on 12/29/2020 4:41 PM: After three hours without interruption on my head, my AirPods Max have many humidity visible under the pads.The drops of water are less visible on my pink copy, but we can see them.I used the helmet only in my office, I never went out with.
