How to Find Your Lost Apple AirPods Max in Minutes

Losing your $549 AirPods Max is stressful. But if they still have battery, they're broadcasting an invisible Bluetooth Low Energy signal right now. EarBuddy turns your phone into a radar that can detect that signal and guide you straight to them.

Why Find My Isn't Enough

AirPods Max show up in Find My, but they enter a low-power mode (not off) when placed in the Smart Case. In this state, the Find My signal may be weak or delayed.

How EarBuddy Finds Your AirPods Max

Because Apple uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0), your AirPods Max constantly broadcasts a short-range signal — even when disconnected. EarBuddy scans for this signal and shows you real-time signal strength on a radar display, guiding you physically to the device.

Open EarBuddy and begin scanning.

AirPods Max emit a BLE signal even in the Smart Case's low-power mode.

Walk through likely areas — your office, car, gym locker.

The signal strength will increase sharply when you're close.

AirPods Max are large, so once you're in the right area, they're easier to spot.

Ready to Find Your AirPods Max?

Download EarBuddy and start scanning in seconds. The Bluetooth radar works with all BLE devices — no pairing required.
