Have you been eyeing Apple’s super sexy, over-ear headphones but didn’t feel like forking over $549? Well, you’re in luck. The great-looking, insane sounding AirPods Max noise-canceling headphones are now on sale for a whopping $70 off on Amazon right now.
You may have thought the hefty price tag was prohibitive, yet when the AirPods Max launched in late 2020 they sold out almost immediately in all five colors. Of course, they are still pricey at $479, but this is a discount that does not come around often.
So, why do you need them? Firstly, the AirPods Max are stunning to look at but in pure Apple fashion, they also boast a build quality unlike any other headphones. We’re talking ultra-premium aluminum casing and a stainless-steel headband wrapped in mesh padding (be gone plastic of yore) and magnetic earcups you can simply replace for $69 a pair if anything goes wrong. And, our favorite detail, a perfectly placed knob on the right earcup which lets you play and pause your audio as well as adjust the volume.
The noise-canceling is some of the best in the biz, helping COVID-bound remote workers tune out barking dogs, screaming toddlers and annoying roommates with aplomb. But it’s the audio quality that puts the AirPods Max into the super luxe category, allowing a stunning range of crystal clear sound—from the lowest lows to the highest highs. Plus, it comes with spatial audio as well, which will simulate surround sound like Dolby Atmos—and makes an amazing companion for watching movies and TV shows.
For $479 you’ll have to choose the Green, Silver or Pink color options, though the Blue and Black are also available for an extra $20 at $499.
