There’s been an influx of complaints around the AirPods Max breaking due to water condensation around the inner drivers — it’s an issue some users have complained about since launch and one of the reasons an editor here at Tom’s Guide doesn’t wear his AirPods Max to the gym.
According to some users, the issue starts when excessive heat causes water droplets to form on the inside of the earcups near where the drivers are housed. Over time, water seeps into the speaker holes and ruins the headphones.
