AirPods Max Are Even Cheaper Than Prime Day Right Now, but There’s a Catch

If you’re considering buying some of the best headphones and earbuds on the market, it’s understandable that the price might be on the high side. Put an Apple logo on them and the price tends to go even higher, too. The AirPods Max are a prime example: A pair of Apple’s headphones would normally set you back as much as $550. They were heavily discounted through Prime Day but they’re now yours for even less — down to a new all-time low of $383 at Amazon — albeit with a catch. They’re only available in the pink color pictured above. They’re also limited in supply at this price, so they could sell out soon.

Apple’s AirPods Max have active noise cancellation, which lets you tune out the world when you need to focus on work, calls or other important tasks. Transparency mode lets you 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’s customized to your ear shape, as well as dynamic head tracking that makes spatial audio feel like it’s coming from all around you.
