Apple's AirPods Max are among our favorite wireless headphones and, right now, you can snag a pair of these at a significant discount. While they typically retail for $549, you can currently pick them up for just $449 at Walmart and Amazon. That's $19 more than the lowest price we saw during the holiday sale last year but it's still a great saving -- especially for the newer USB-C-equipped model.
We also spotted them at the same price at Best Buy, plus there is potential for trade-in credit, so you certainly have options in terms of outlets. However, we don't know how long this deal is going to last, which is a problem. So, grab it before the deal expires or stock runs out.
The AirPods Max (USB‑C) stick close to the previous generation in terms of features but they now use USB‑C instead of Lightning. That change makes life easier as the same cable now works across newer Apple devices like iPads, Macs and iPhones, plus their accessories.
Performance is still top-tier with pro‑level active noise cancellation, quick pairing and smooth device switching powered by the Apple H1 chip. You also get personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, Dolby Atmos support and the clear Transparency mode. Looking for personalization? AirPods Max now come in five stylish colors -- each with a color‑matched Smart Case.
