Apple’s AirPods Max 2 Just Hit an Unprecedented $399 a Day Before Prime Day

Save $150: Apple’s latest AirPods Max 2 are the company’s latest premium headphones, but you can already pick up a pair for just $499 at Amazon. $399 is a new all-time low for this model, and we don’t expect it to be beaten any time soon. Just note that Amazon only has the starlight color on sale at that price, though Walmart is discounting all the colors. 

This early Amazon Prime Day deal is one that we don’t expect to last for long, and we’ve no idea how many units are in stock. For those reasons alone, we recommend ordering your heavily discounted AirPods Max soon, before it’s too late.

The second-gen Apple AirPods Max headphones were released back in April. Apple promises that the new AirPods Max 2 headphones offer 1.5 times more effective noise canceling, cleaner audio and improved spatial audio.

CNET Executive Editor David Carnoy recently did a full breakdown on the differences between the original AirPods Max and the AirPods Max 2. He noted that the “powerful H2 chip brings a host of new features and some performance upgrades.” These new features include many that have already been introduced in Apple’s latest earbuds, including live translation, camera remote and conversation awareness.

If you’re ready to upgrade to the new AirPods Max 2, snag them on Amazon now for a discount. But if this isn’t the headphone deal for you, take a look at our full roundup on the best Prime Day headphone deals going on right now.
