We've seen a few colors of the AirPods Max drop to $449 in 2022, but this is one of the first times where all color options have been discounted by $99. In comparison to previous discounts, this is the second-best Amazon price we've ever tracked on the AirPods Max.

AirPods Max for $449.99 ($99 OFF)​

AirPods Max feature Active Noise Cancellation technology and the same Transparency mode, Adaptive EQ, and spatial audio features that are in the AirPods Pro. For charging, the headphones come with a Smart Case made out of a soft material that puts AirPods Max in an ultra low-power state to preserve battery charge when not in use.

Just in time for the new Gucci case!

Unless somebody can say otherwise, I’d say this is the steepest discount I’ve seen, especially since it’s offered on every color on Amazon.

 

[Deep Dish]

Anyone else wish Apple made larger head bands as an option?

 

[NavySilver]

If only I could trade in my Bose 700 for a decent value I would've jumped at this.

 

[Blackstick]

This product is waiting for its "iPad 2 (2011) moment" where it gets a functional case, proper on and off button, and a $399 starting price to better compete with others in the market.

This is a ways off though? With new Pros coming and no supply chain rumors, maybe next year?

I bought mine from SimplyMac for $439 last summer. Pretty sure every color was for that price at the time of the sale.

Despite no supply chain rumours, hopefully this is a stock-clearing precursor to a second generation AirPods Max…

Is there's no third party case that has addressed this yet?

 

[tekmoe]

Picked mine up last night at Micro Center for 439.99 + tax ?

 

[icwhatudidthere]

If anyone has these and HomePods, can you compare the sound characteristics? I've found I like the audio out of my paired HomePods significantly more than my Sonos speakers.

 

[MisterK]

I'd be interested to know how these are selling. I have a pair and, despite being a huge Apple enthusiast, I could only justify it when I used my credit card's banked reward points. And despite having them, I don't use them that much. I have a feeling they'll probably get discontinued soon.

I've got an XXL head and the Airpod Max fit fine naked.

However, any kind of hat and they end up too high on my ears.

...which is kinda crazy, considering how huge and heavy these headphones are.

Best Buy has them for $450.

 

[LiE_]

Regularly go down to £350-370 in the UK on eBay via authorised resellers.

Currently £373 - https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/apple-airpods-max-silver-new-ps35899-with-code-3881483

Got mine for $429 on Amazon the week of Black Friday 2021

Do all better wireless headphones also have ports for the wired connection? To get lossless and Hi-res lossless I use the lightning to 3.5mm cord plugged into my iPhone 13 Pro Max.

 

[chetzar]

Best Buy has them for $450.

Open Box for $450, not new. Cheapest new they have is $479.

 

[JMStearnsX2]

I got mine from Best Buy in Dec, when they had them for $450. But I had a $100 reward certificate from my work and so I paid $350+tax.

I'd like to get a pair, but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger even at $450. I do enjoy my AirPods Pro, but get sick of having in-ear headphones on all the time. I'll probably cave.

 

[Adarna]

How is this when used with Facetime Audio?

Not open box. Open box are $504.

Love the iPad 2 reference — totally on point. Maybe they can also make them a lot more attractive? This is subjective of course, but I think they are one of the ugliest apple products to date.

Despite no supply chain rumours, hopefully this is a stock-clearing precursor to a second generation AirPods Max…

Or a stock clearing precursor before discontinuing the model like the first and only generation of Homepod. (which arguably could have been called the Homepod Max)
