Black Friday deal on AirPods Max drops them to record low
AirPods Max earn praise for their excellent sound quality. They truly make Apple music tracks shine. (Read our review: AirPods Max will excite your ears, dazzle your eyes and empty your wallet.)
Their over-ear design boosts their amazing active noise cancellation. Combine that with their 20-hour battery life, and they’re perfect for long flights, busy commutes or just relaxing at home.
Their sleek metallic earcups might have looked a bit weird at first, but they’re increasingly easy to spot on the street. As with the original AirPods, the world quickly came around to Apple’s innovative design sense.
Save on Apple’s premium headphones
AirPods Max headphones — updated with a USB-C connection last year as part of Apple’s move away from Lightning — come in five colors: blue, midnight, purple, starlight and orange. Almost all colors are currently on sale at a record low price of $399.99 at both Amazon and Best Buy.
AirPods Pro 3 (also on sale now) truly great earbuds. But if you want the best audio experience, AirPods Max should be any Apple user’s choice. And this Black Friday deal finally drops them to a reasonable price.
Don’t miss your chance to save $150 on Apple’s finest headphones.
