Still overpriced when you can get competing headsets that are comparatively stronger then the AP Max for the same, if not less then this new 'discounted' rate!.....

 

[Bones402]

279.99 I would maybe consider it.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

How much is the Lightning version?

 

[Realityck]

Still needs to be similar priced down to $399 range IMHO. That’s what I paid for my planar transducer based cans with very low distortion low end performance. There is a lot more consumers out there as you drop the list closer to the mainstream competition vendors such as B&W Px7 S2e.

 

[AppleMega]

I have them and the AirPods Pro 2.0. Get the Pros. Between the greatly improved sound (over v1) and the portability, they are a much better choice over the Max. I rarely use my Max.

 

[turbineseaplane]

These prices are so silly

I have and love my APM Gen1s ... but only for "what they are" and because the cost is well "sunk" at this point
...and I only paid $350 for them brand new to begin with

I would never -- never -- pay more than about $250 for these in 2025

I tried a pair on the other day in an Apple Store. Never had worn them before or listened to them. They fit pretty good, and sound was decent, but I noticed clipping or the lack of low end when listening to them. Might have been the pair, or the song, but I would never spend $500 on these. I have a pair of AirPod Pro 2s and not sure what the advantage would be?

The sound is a little more spacious and the comfort is "different" with cans vs buds

The controls are a bit more convenient, to me, on the APM -- I personally very much like the Digital Crown

(I own APM and APP2)

5 year old tech for 500 bucks is too much. Sorry, no matter how you cut it.

 

[thefrost]

AirPods Max are still overpriced even at this price.

 

[SAIRUS]

They need H2...only because I like to use them as earmuffs during winter and I like to answer my notifications with some head bobs.

 

[HazeAndHahmahneez]

not sure what the advantage would be?

Having never tried em I would venture to guess the noise cancellation is far superior. Also on a cold/chilly day they have the obvious warmth advantage…

I’m curious tho…what was the best price ever so far on these (both light and usbc)??

Non-sale-priced wired headphones offer superior sound quality than sale-priced wireless headphones at a similar price point.

Agreed. I prefer wired compared to wireless.

 

[CptnJustc]

Still pretty expensive...

But it's a nice discount.

 

[svish]

Not a huge discount and it is still very expensive. I would not be buying one at these prices. At around $300 or so can consider it. But if one is specifically looking out to buy this product, then not expecting much better prices any time soon and maybe could consider it.
