I own a Mac Book Pro 14 for a couple of months – and also the Air Pods Max. Sound quality, pairing, Noice cancelling and so on – worked great so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I put on my Max and the sound quality was somehow … bad… bass was somehow not really there… the music sounds like it were a couple miles away…. Connecting the Max to a phone… music sounds way better… more „powerful“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some research it turned out, there is a setting in MacOS where you can set which device MacOS uses for sound input…. this is under „Settings“ => „Sound“ => „Input“… if your sound input is set as shown below – the AirPods are highlighted – your Mac uses the Max as sound input device and this reduces sound quality tremendously… try it… you will be horrified ;-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proper setting for listening music is highlighting the MacBook Microphone – seconds after the strong bass is back with the Max :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me as newbie in the Apple Universe… why does this have to be so complicated…. why does it even switch the setting when I use Apple Music… this is weird… why does it not automatically switch to a an appropriate setting when I turn on Apple Music ?!? Weird…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 2022-06-06:<\/kbd><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This settings get’s adjusted every time I connect the Max‘ … so have to manually set the Mac Microphone as input device again … annoying :-\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n
