AirPods Max Just Dropped to a New All-Time Low Price

The official Apple Black Friday event doesn’t start until Friday, but Amazon and Walmart are already offering significant discounts on Apple products, including the AirPods Max for $399. These popular over-the-ear headphones are some of the best around and usually retail for $549, so this $150 discount is likely the best you’re going to find for some time.

Apple AirPods Max for $399.99

AirPods Max represent Apple’s top-of-the-line audio experience, featuring a custom Apple-designed audio driver, H1 chip for instant pairing and automatic switching between your Apple devices, and personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking. Similar to the AirPods Pro, these also feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode, which allow you to seamlessly adjust the audio to suit your environment.

These are the latest AirPods Max models available, which now include up to 2x better ANC, a USB-C port for charging, and a refreshed lineup of colors: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Orange. The USB-C port also allows for lossless audio, which is a great addition for audiophiles.

If you’re more into earbuds than over-the-ear headphones, check otu the wireless AirPods deals. Nearly all models of AirPods are on sale for Black Friday, including the refreshed AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation) for $99 and the standard Airpods 4 for $69. If you’re looking for a higher-end in-ear solution, the new AirPods Pro 3 are also on sale as well, with improved ANC, an improved fit, and the ability to track workouts without an iPhone or Apple Watch needed.

For even more savings, you can shop Black Friday deals at just about every retailer right now, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.
