Amazon Slashes AirPods Max to Record Low Price After Prime Day
Amazon is stirring excitement by dropping the price of Apple’s high-end AirPods Max to $395 (as of 10/14 the price was changed to $449 or $429 for Pink)—a discount from the usual $549 price tag—just days after its Prime Day event.
This marks a notable price cut, saving buyers $85 off the typical street price and making it one of the most enticing offers for Apple enthusiasts looking for premium audio gear.
The AirPods Max, which have been on the market since late 2020, stand out for their immersive sound, active noise cancellation (ANC), and personalized Spatial Audio. Despite their bulky aluminum frame and the absence of a power button, their superior build quality and seamless integration within the Apple ecosystem continue to make them highly desirable, especially at this reduced price point.
Analysts note that this discount is possibly a way to clear inventory before a potential updated version arrives later in 2024, rumored to feature USB-C charging instead of the current Lightning port. However, the core audio experience and performance are expected to remain largely unchanged.
If you’ve been considering purchasing the AirPods Max, now might be an ideal time, as such deep discounts are rare. The reduced price makes them competitive with other high-end headphones, such as Bose and Sony models, especially for those already invested in the Apple ecosystem. However, given Apple’s tendency to launch refreshed products, it’s worth weighing the timing before making a decision.
