The entire speaker of AirPods Max is actually very easy to remove. Apple may have thought about customization.

       On the morning of January 20, Apple's AirPods Max headphones attracted users' attention due to their price of 4,399 yuan. Recently, iFixit completed a complete disassembly of the product. An unexpected discovery was that the sound parts on both sides of the headphones were easy to remove, which means that Apple considered the possibility of customization when designing this headset.

Just poke it like this and the speaker can be removed

　　If you remove the magnetic earmuffs on both sides of the headset, you will see a small hole. You can poke it with a SIM card needle to see the secret behind it. The entire speaker part can be taken off and put back.

The internal structure is like this

　　After removing the speakers, the metal link bars on both sides of the headband reveal a small connector for transmitting sound or data between the speakers on both sides. The contacts of this connector are a bit like a smaller version of the Lightning connector.

　　Perhaps when Apple was first designing AirPods Max, it had thought about this replaceable design, just like the replacement straps for Apple Watch, but for some reason it was not promoted in the end.

　　Maybe they are not ready for customization, or there are other reasons, but given Apple's confidentiality principles, we may never know the reasons behind it.

　　Previously, Evans Hankey, Apple's vice president of industrial design, said that Apple designed hundreds of AirPods Max prototypes during the long development period. So one speculation is that Apple may finally abandon the concept of replaceable headband to speed up production, and finally only retain the replaceable earmuffs.

　　This easy-to-remove design is unusual for earphones.

      Sony and other similar products will not use such an easy to disassemble design

　　Finally, I would like to advise users who are curious about this function to try it with caution, because it is currently uncertain whether doing so will void the product warranty.
