Prime Day<\/a> is approaching as quickly as lunchtime hunger pangs and, as ever, there are some early deals<\/a> to be had. One of the tastiest we’ve seen so far is a significant discount on Apple’s AirPods Max<\/a>. The over-ear headphones have dropped to $399. They’ve been hovering at around $449 for quite some time (after debuting at $549) and now they have dropped to a new record low price.<\/p>\n The AirPods Max have been around since 2020 (and are perhaps overdue for a USB-C flavored upgrade), but they’re still a great option for those looking for over-ear headphones \u2014 especially if you’re already heavily entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. We gave them a score of 84 in our review<\/a>, with the audio quality, active noise cancellation (ANC) performance and battery life proving to be positives.<\/p>\n Apple<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Apple’s over-ear headphones have dropped to a record low price. You can pick up a set of AirPods Max for $399.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n $399 at Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n You can control the AirPods Max with an Apple Watch-style rotating crown and there’s a separate button for switching between ANC and transparency modes. You’ll need to use a Lightning cable to charge the headset, which will quickly pair to your iPhone and other devices that are signed into the same iCloud account.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, AirPods Max do not support lossless audio<\/a> from Apple Music due to a Bluetooth limitation, though spatial audio<\/a> does work. It’s also worth bearing in mind that there’s likely a new AirPods Max model coming relatively soon, perhaps by the end of the year.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Apple’s AirPods Pro are also on sale<\/a>. You can snap up a pair for $169, which is 32 percent off the regular price of $249. That’s not a bad deal at all if you prefer an in-ear format for your audio needs. AirPods Pro also have some features that the AirPods Max lack, including an adaptive mode<\/a> that brings together ANC and transparency.<\/p>\n Your Prime Day Shopping Guide<\/em><\/strong>: See all of our<\/em> Prime Day<\/em><\/a> coverage.
