Apple may be best-known for its latest AirPods earbuds, but more and more people are catching onto the brand’s AirPods Max headphones as well. Beloved by stars like Bella Hadid, Timothée Chalamet and the girls from Blackpink, the AirPods Max are Apple’s first-ever wireless headphones, with an instantly recognizable earcup design and big, powerful sound to match. Now, you can finally find these headphones on sale.
Normally $549+, a new Apple sale on Amazon gets you the AirPods Max on sale for just $395. That’s a whopping $154 discount and the lowest price we’ve ever seen for these wireless headphones.

Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
The new deal is tied to Amazon Prime Day, and gets you the AirPods Max in black for $395. The other colors (including the popular silver colorway) are also on sale starting from $429 and up.
The wireless headphones are designed for performance, with a custom acoustic housing and a big dynamic driver pushing through high-fidelity, theater-like sound. Apple’s audio engineers have also implemented spatial audio in these cans, which creates a more natural and realistic listening experience. Music floats around you rather than directly at you, while “dynamic head tracking” technology keeps the sound at ear level, even if you’re on the move.

The AirPods Max come with active noise cancellation technology (ANC), which helps to block out ambient noise. It makes these headphones especially great for traveling or for work. Turn on “transparency mode” when you need to let a little outside noise in, say, to be alerted to traffic, or to hear a colleague speak.
Battery life is super strong on the AirPods Max, with up to 20 hours of playtime on a single charge. A quick five-minute charge gets you 1.5 hours of listening time.
We like the instantly-iconic design of these Apple headphones, which feature oversized memory foam ear cushions and a knit-mesh headband (which never gets sweaty). Adjust the headband to find your most comfortable fit.
