AirPods Pro and AirPods Max microphone sample rate

Posted:
in General Discussion
Hi there
I've struggled to find the specs of the microphones that come with the AirPods "pro" and AirPods Max.
They both default to 16 kHz, which I find surprising. The cheapest of cheap usually do 44/48 kHz. 
Anyway, it seems like 16 kHz is the best these can sample at and it's not a software issue I'm having?

Any one know?

Thanks

    From my research, it seems that you are correct. 

    Audio MIDI Setup will show you the available sample rates and bit rates for a given audio device (for the AirPods (non-Pro) I have here, Input and Output show up as separate devices.)
