        "content": "No \u2014 the new 2nd-generation AirPods Max **do not** come with a USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable in the box. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-us/126620?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere\u2019s a breakdown of what *is* included, and what you\u2019d need to buy extra if you want to plug into a 3.5 mm jack:\n\n---\n\n### What you *get* with AirPods Max (2nd generation)\n\nApple\u2019s official specifications clearly list the box contents:\n\n- AirPods Max 2  \n- Smart Case  \n- USB-C charge cable  \n- Documentation ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-us/126620?utm_source=openai))\n\nNo 3.5 mm audio cable is among the included accessories.\n\n---\n\n### Can you use wired mode with a 3.5 mm jack?\n\nYes \u2014 but you need to buy an extra cable. Apple now offers a **USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable** (sold separately) if you want to connect the headphones to an analog source like a radio, laptop headphone jack, etc. ([9to5mac.com](https://9to5mac.com/2025/03/24/apple-now-sells-usb-c-to-3-5-mm-cable-for-wired-airpods-max-playback/?utm_source=openai))\n\nFirmware updates in 2025 added support for wired playback with USB-C on the newer AirPods Max models. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108364?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Bottom line\n\nIf you want to use AirPods Max 2 with a device that only has a 3.5 mm jack, here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to do:\n\n- Buy Apple\u2019s USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable (or a compatible third\u2010party one that supports bidirectional audio).  \n- Plug the USB-C end into the AirPods Max, and the 3.5 mm end into your device\u2019s headphone jack.  \n- Make sure your AirPods Max have the latest firmware installed so that wired mode over USB-C works properly. ([support.apple.com](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108364?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can help find a good third\u2010party USB-C \u2194 3.5 mm cable that works well (and costs less) than Apple\u2019s option. Do you want me to pull some suggestions together?"

([apple.com](https://www.apple.com/xf/shop/product/mdv84am/a/c%C3%A2ble-usb-c-vers-audio-35-mm-12-m?utm_source=openai))  \n- Retailers like DirectDial and Barcodes also carry that same Apple cable as MDV84AM/A. ([directdial.com](https://www.directdial.com/ca/item/apple-usb-c-to-3-5mm-audio-cable-1-2m/mdv84am-a?utm_source=openai))  \n- On Amazon.ca, I found several USB-C to 3.5 mm *adapters* and cables by third-party brands like UGREEN and Samsung. ([amazon.ca](https://www.amazon.ca/UGREEN-Headphone-Adapter-Earphone-Connector/dp/B082WG5VTK?utm_source=openai))  \n- But none of those listings clearly show the Apple MDV84AM/A cable being sold by Apple or an authorized seller. The Apple cable is distinct: it\u2019s woven/white, 1.2 m, bi-directional (works both ways), and designed specifically for AirPods Max & Beats Studio Pro. ([apple.com](https://www.apple.com/xf/shop/product/mdv84am/a/c%C3%A2ble-usb-c-vers-audio-35-mm-12-m?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What you can do\n\nIf you prefer getting the *official Apple cable*, here are your options:\n\n- Order directly from Apple.ca, where it\u2019s in stock. ([apple.com](https://www.apple.com/xf/shop/product/mdv84am/a/c%C3%A2ble-usb-c-vers-audio-35-mm-12-m?utm_source=openai))  \n- Check authorized resellers (e.g. big electronics stores) to see if they can order it.\n\nIf you\u2019re okay with third-party options, you *can* get one on Amazon.ca; just make sure to:\n\n- Use search terms like **\u201cApple USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable MDV84AM/A\u201d**  \n- Check the product images to see if it matches the official design  \n- Look at the seller\u2014ideally \u201cApple\u201d or \u201cSold by Apple Store / Authorized Reseller\u201d  \n- Check return policies in case it\u2019s not genuine or not working as promised\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can look up a few reliable alternatives on Amazon.ca with good ratings that are known to work well with the AirPods Max. Do you want me to pull those together for you?"
