That was fast: The new Apple AirPods Max 2 are already on sale one day after their preorders opened. Thank Amazon, which is offering the deal amid its third annual Big Spring Sale, live now through March 31.
The midnight and starlight variants are both marked down to $529.99, which is almost $20 off their normal retail price of $549. (Suffice to say, they’ve never been cheaper.) They were still stuck at full price at other major retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
The best AirPods deals to shop in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale — AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 3 on sale
Apple surprise-announced the AirPods Max 2 last week, a small but long-awaited update to its supremely stylish over-ear headphones; they’re set for release on April 1. We have yet to test them, but Apple promises that they offer better noise cancellation than the original AirPods Max, which it launched in 2020 and updated with USB-C charging in 2024.
The new AirPods Max 2 also support more smart features, including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Live Translation, Siri head gestures, and a camera remote. (If you have your camera app pulled up on a paired iPhone or iPad, pressing the AirPods Max 2’s Digital Crown takes a picture.) They run on the H2 chip like the AirPods Pro 3.
Mashable Deals
If you can do without those improvements, note that the first-generation AirPods Max are discounted to $449.99 (in every color) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target this week. They’re still not as good a value as other premium noise-canceling headphones from brands like Sony and Bose, but $100 off is $100 off.
Again, this is the first-ever discount for the new AirPods Max 2 headphones, and you can only find this preorder offer at Amazon
