SAVE $67.23: The space gray AirPods Max were on sale on Amazon for just $481.77 as of July 8 — that’s 12% off their $549 MSRP, which is their highest discount yet.
We spent June crossing our fingers that some retailer would bless us with a Prime Day discount on the AirPods Max that shaved at least 5% off their (borderline ridiculous) $549 MSRP. And get this: Not only did Amazon come through — Apple’s premium on-ear headphones dipped down to $499 in during its two-day shopping event — but they’ve only gotten cheaper there in the weeks since.
As of July 9, you could score a pair of the space gray AirPods Max on sale from Amazon for only $481.77 — that’s almost $70 off their retail price in the Apple Store and their biggest discount yet. (Not a fan of that color? Amazon had the sky blue and green versions listed at just $489.99 apiece, which is a $59.01 savings either way.)
Initially released in December (amid a cacophony of memes), the AirPods Max are basically “a culmination of all the technology and features that have made Apple’s line of earbuds so successful,” as Mashable tech reporter Brenda Stolyar keenly observed in her review: They pack noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and even spatial audio. (That’s the immersive new sound format introduced to Apple Music last month.) It all goes a long way to vindicate their price tag, all with the help of an impressive 20-hour battery life, easy controls, and a stylish design.
Stolyar did note that the AirPods Max can feel a tad uncomfortable if you have tinier ears or wear glasses, so consider keeping your receipt if you fit that bill. Barring that, though, they’re this close to a home run for Apple — especially if you manage to snag them at Amazon’s current pricing.
