[JapanApple]

Nice price

 

[DMG35]

Best Buy is matching that price as well.

 

[MacLawyer]

I would buy these but can't justify the price. My JBL 500s work fine but have Bluetooth issues with Apple devices for some reason.

 

[JTK Awesome]

Needs a 50% discount.

The sale on my B&W Px8’s was much better. And those blow away the APM.

The sale on my B&W Px8’s was much better. And those blow away the APM.

I sold my APM and bought a pair of B&W for less than half price. They are much more comfortable than APM.

$499 is still high, and IMO should be the base price. A good sale price would be $399

 

[falkon-engine]

Given that there is no Silver/White version of the USB-c AirPods Max, (the Silver/White is Lightning only) shouldn’t MacRumors use a different graphic when referencing the USB-c version? I personally don’t like many of the USB-c AirPods Max colors and I will therefore stick with lightning until the wheels (or muffs) fall off.

 

[usersince86]

Not saying they're overpriced, but discounted to $499.99.

Yep, I'm old, but that sounds pricey for headphones.

 

[SactoGuy18]

Still no. I'm waiting to the the AirPods Pro 3, likely due in September 2025.

 

[Mr. Rod]

I was lucky getting my new pair of USB-C AirPods Max for $479.99 when Apple announced lossless a few weeks ago. Is that the lowest price they’ve ever been?

 

[CausticSoda]

I genuinely didn't even realise they cost that much. I assumed they were around $399.

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Needs a 50% discount.

Just wait until the tariffs kick in. You'll miss MSRP.

 

[oink_oink]

Junk with non user-replaceable batteries--all part of Apple's planned obsolescence grift.

My Sennheiser HD6xx from 20 years ago, meanwhile, will work perfectly for 20 more.

 

[jcshas]

Picked up on Sunday with an Amazon price match at Target. Stacked with my Target Red Card discount it was a pretty good deal.

 

[Aeronauts]

They’re too heavy and overpriced for me.
