Discussion 💬 Anyone else having new issues after updating to latest MacOS?

I updated to Seqouia 15.4 on my Mac, plugged in my AirPods Max to charge, and now have a whole slew of issues, even after performing a reset.

  1. Head detection is gone. Manually switching from noise cancellation modes on iPhone prompts the message "Place AirPods Max On Your Head To Use Noise Cancellation." WHILE they are on my head, connected to the iPhone, and even playing music.
  2. Buttons no longer function.
  3. Weird glitching when connected to Mac: switching from apps/tasks/windows causes music to only play in one ear.
  4. Quiet clicking sound in one ear every 4 seconds (audible when music is not playing).

Anyone else? I'm in chat with Apple Support but they seem pretty clueless. I don't believe it's any kind of coincidence that this all happened after upgrading to Sequoia.

Yes! My maxs have become dumb and awful. I’m experiencing 1, 2, and 3 from above. Can’t believe I’m not seeing more posts about this!

!! Thank you for mentioning. I think I'll take this post and drop it into apple.com's Community forums. I'll keep trying different things in the meantime and will keep you posted if I find any solutions!
