AirPods Max 2 Get First Discount on Amazon

Shoppers should remember that this is a pre-order discount on the AirPods Max 2, which are set to officially launch on April 1. Although this is only a $19 discount on the AirPods Max 2, it's the best markdown you'll find online if you're looking to pre-order the headphones.

Take another $200 off and I might, might be able to forget about the bra case. Nothing could make me forget about the bra case though, if I am being honest.

 

[Hurrikkaine]

Oh boy, 20 whole dollars.

It's a real shame seeing minor product iterations being positioned as a major update.

Tim's legacy biggest contribution.

and arriving years late...

I still don’t get this. Any noticeable improvement in noise reduction is a big deal (at least to me). Yes, it would be nice for better life or to be less heavy (my main dislike) but it sure is a bigger jump than just changing the port from lightning to USBC!

(I’m not jealous, though, of the cheaper price as mine will be blue)

Was Apple supposed to call it version 1.5 (and the change to USB-C version 1.25)?

 

[tridley68]

They can't drop the price low enuff for me to want a pair 🤟

 

[ARK]

Offering the same colors as the last version and calling them vibrant is a shot in the foot.

Missed opportunity to release a space black option as well as a silver again. No space black or space grey means I won’t upgrade from the first release. 🤨

 

[vegetassj4]

Nice. Now what to to with an extra 20 bucks?

• A pet rock starter kit
• Tiny plastic hands for my fingers
• A banana slicer
• Inflatable dinosaur costume
• neon cheese powder
• “As Seen on TV” gadget that solves a problem no one has
• singing fish wall plaque
• A giant foam hat

 

[slippery-pete]

People complaining about a $20 discount. This board never surprises me! I bet they are the same people who see a $20 bill on the floor and don't pick up up because it isn't worth their time. 😕

 

[revfife]

They will still sell millions of these without your purchase. So I am not so sure Apple cares.

 

[bejaxn0623]

I got my USB-C which I guess is the "update" version for 429.00 at Best Buy about three weeks ago. My guess is it won't be long before these are 100.00 off. I think that is going to be pretty standard just like you can get the AirPods Pro 3 for as low as 199.00. The weight is really the only downside for me. Not sure how the mesh will last but overall I thought 429.00 was an okay price. I really think they aren't worth more than 399.00

Faulty analogy is faulty.

 

[Fortimir]

Six years. They could have easily justified this price with a slight weight reduction and putting some sort of on/off button. Bonus points for allowing them to fold up.

This update should have come with a price reduction. Hell, the v2 update from 2024 was downright offensive keeping the same price.

 

[joecomo]

before a really hefty discount I won't move a finger ...

 

[TapDatApp]

Oh boy, 20 whole dollars.

$20 is $20. Especially in this economy. Cancelled my preorder with Apple for this. Thanks MacRumors!

 

[xSushi]

That was fast.

It's a shame they didn't modify (or just add) new colors. Oh Tim...

 

[bLackjackj]

Tim's legacy biggest contribution.

That would be Tim’s famous bra case.

 

[rizzo41999]

If you're fine settling for mediocrity, then you have a good point.

 

[slippery-pete]

Faulty analogy is faulty.

So people aren't complaining about the $20 discount? Got it. Enjoy your Friday.

There literally is not one review out yet, hold your comment. Apple never mentioned the airpod 3 audio details but it sounds at least 25% better then the ap2. If you think Apple is calling this gen 2 and placing the same speakers ect in there after 6 years........... idk what to tell you.

Also $529 at Costco which is a way better option to purchase from imo plus $44.99 for AppleCare so that’s discounted as well!
