Apple's AirPods Max are excellent headphones but also very expensive, so when I spot them at a discounted price I gotta share the good news.
Right now the Apple AirPods Max are on sale for $479 at Amazon. That’s a healthy savings of $70 on all five colors of AirPods Max. While it's not the cheapest the premium headphones have ever been, this is still one of the best Apple deals we’ve seen recently.
In our AirPods Max review, we praised the wireless noise-cancelling headphones for having a great combination of comfort, pristine audio quality and intuitive controls, in addition to easy pairing with Apple devices.

Nevertheless, at $479 the AirPods Max now look particularly compelling for people after a high-end audio experience,
But if you've decided that shelling out nearly $500 on a pair of headphones is a bit much, do check out deals on the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 2 today if you'd like a new pair of wireless earbuds instead.
