Get a pair of Apple AirPods Max for just $399 through this early Amazon Prime Day deal
It’s impossible to buy new, high-quality headphones without coming across Apple’s AirPods Max headphones. These are some of the best headphones on the market right now, and we have the review to prove it. CNET editor David Carnoy said they deliver richer and more detailed sound than cheaper competitors from established audio outfits like Bose and Sony. Unfortunately, such quality will never be cheap. A pair of these headphones would normally retail for $549, an amount that will undoubtedly turn off some potential buyers. Luckily, with Prime Day sales heating up, Amazon has dropped the price by $150. bringing the cost down to just $399. That’s only slightly more than the best price we’ve seen yet, but the catch is you can only choose between Space Grey, Sky Blue, Pink (with a discount coupon) and silver colors with the lightning gate.
Apple’s AirPods Max have active noise cancellation, which helps you focus on the world when you need to concentrate on work, phone calls, or other important tasks. Transparency mode allows you to listen to your favorite media while remaining aware of what’s going on around you. You can also use features like personalized audio for sound that adapts to the shape of your ear, as well as dynamic head tracking that makes spatial audio feel like it’s coming from all around you.
