Amazon Prime Day deals have come for the AirPods Max, which is a good thing since one of the biggest gripes we have with Apple’s over-ear headphones are their steep price tag. The USB-C AirPods Max headphones have dropped to $399 in the starlight and purple color options, which is $150 off their usual price and a record low.
Apple finally refreshed the AirPods Max with a USB-C charging port and new colorways last fall. Earlier this year, the company updated the headphones with some new features, but only for the USB-C model. That version of the AirPods Max now supports lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio, though only in wired mode.

That update and the switch to USB-C charging are the only major changes Apple has made to the AirPods Max, which still otherwise use hardware from 2020. Even so, the headphones deliver high-quality audio with good active noise cancellation.
We gave the original version of the headphones a score of 84 in our review back in 2020. At the time, the lack of high-res music streaming was one of our main misgivings, but that has since been resolved. Another major negative for us was the price, though this offer mitigates that issue.
