Apple's AirPods Max with USB-C drop to a record-low price for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day deals are in full swing now and we're seeing record-low prices on a lot of our favorite gadgets. That even applies to some Apple devices, which do see regular discounts but it's not often they see all-time lows. Right now, the USB-C AirPods Max headphones are on sale for $399 in starlight, which is $150 off their usual price and the best discount we've seen.
Apple finally refreshed the AirPods Max with a USB-C charging port and new colorways last fall. Earlier this year, the company updated the headphones with some new features, but only for the USB-C model. That version of the AirPods Max now supports lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio, though only in wired mode.
That update and the switch to USB-C charging are the only major changes Apple has made to the AirPods Max, which still otherwise use hardware from 2020. Even so, the headphones deliver high-quality audio with good active noise cancellation.
We gave the original version of the headphones a score of 84 in our review back in 2020. At the time, the lack of high-res music streaming was one of our main misgivings, but that has since been resolved. Another major negative for us was the price, though this offer mitigates that issue.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/apples-airpods-max-with-usb-c-drop-to-a-record-low-price-for-prime-day-144105982.html?src=rss
