Apple may be best-known for its latest AirPods earbuds, but more and more people are catching onto the brand’s AirPods Max headphones as well. Beloved by stars like Bella Hadid, Timothée Chalamet and the girls from Blackpink, the AirPods Max are Apple’s first-ever wireless headphones, with an instantly recognizable earcup design and big, powerful sound to match.
Now, you can finally find these headphones on sale. Normally $549+, a new Amazon spring sale gets you the AirPods Max on sale for just $499. That’s a generous $50 discount and the lowest price we’ve seen for these wireless headphones since Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year.
The wireless headphones are designed for performance, with a custom acoustic housing and a big dynamic driver pushing through high-fidelity, theater-like sound. Apple’s audio engineers have also implemented spatial audio in these cans, which creates a more natural and realistic listening experience. Music floats around you rather than directly at you, while “dynamic head tracking” technology keeps the sound at ear level, even if you’re on the move.
