Apple may be best known for its latest AirPods earbuds, but more and more people are turning to the brand’s AirPods Max headphones as well. Loved by stars like Bella Hadid, Timothée Chalamet and the Blackpink girls, AirPods Max are Apple’s first-ever wireless headphones, featuring an instantly recognizable earcup design and big, powerful sound to match. Now, you can finally find these headphones on sale.
Normally priced at $549, Amazon’s new spring sale gets the AirPods Max on sale for just $499. That’s a massive $50 discount and the lowest price we’ve seen for these wireless headphones since Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year.

These wireless headphones are designed to perform, with a custom acoustic envelope and a large dynamic driver that drives through high-resolution, theater-like sound. Apple audio engineers have also implemented spatial audio into these cans, creating a more natural and realistic listening experience. The music is floating around to you and not directly in You, while Dynamic Head Tracking keeps sound at ear level, even if you’re in motion.
AirPods Max come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, which helps block out ambient noise. Which makes these headphones especially great for travel or work. Turn on Transparency Mode when you need to let in a little outside noise, for example, to alert you about traffic, or to hear a colleague talk.
Battery life is very strong on the AirPods Max, with up to 20 hours of playtime on a single charge. A five-minute quick charge gives you 1.5 hours of listening time.
We love the iconic design of these Apple headphones, which feature oversized memory foam ear cushions and a knit mesh headband (never sweaty). Adjust the headband to find the most comfortable fit for you.
Normally priced at $549, get the Apple AirPods Max on sale for just $499 at Amazon.com – 9% off. We prefer the silver color (above) but you can choose from five different colors on sale, including grey, green, pink and ‘sky blue’. The AirPods Max are still priced at $549 on Apple’s own website, so this is a deal worth taking advantage of.
