Deal: Apple AirPods Max USB-C plummet to a new record-low price!
It’s common to come across deals on the Lightning version of the Apple AirPods Max. We can’t say the same about the USB-C model, though. Deals on the newer Apple AirPods Max USB-C are few and far between, and quite honestly, they aren’t great sales either. This changes today, though. You can currently get them for $449.99, a new record-low price that’s much more enticing.
This offer is available from Best Buy and Amazon. We’re linking to the Best Buy page because the popular retailer applies the discount to all color models, and most are in stock. If you prefer Amazon, you can get the deal here. Just keep in mind that availability is more spotty with Amazon.
We’ve never seen the USB-C version of the Apple AirPods Max at such deep discounts, which is why this is a special PSA. Recent deals made the USB-C model much more expensive than the Lightning one, but the difference is much smaller right now.
I don’t know about you, but I would rather not keep a Lightning cable around to charge a single product. Everything else I own uses USB-C, so I would rather stay exclusive to this standard.
If you want a bit of a refresher, these headphones are our favorite for Apple users. They are high-end headphones that only compete against the best in the market. The design is gorgeous, featuring the iconic metallic design that Apple is known for. Thanks to the quality earpads and band, they are also very comfortable.
We also loved the Apple AirPods Max audio quality, and the ANC performance is impressive. They also offer a plethora of features, but some will only work on iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. These exclusive features include auto-pausing, certain gestures, Siri support, and automatic device switching. Battery life is pretty nice at about 21 hours, based on our standardized tests.
Our only main complaint about the Apple AirPods Max, especially the USB-C model, is the price. This $100 discount is making these headphones a much more enticing option, though. Catch this deal while you can, as all-time low prices don’t tend to last very long.
Extra deal: The Apple AirPods Max with Lightning are still cheaper!
If you really want to save some cash, the Lightning version of the Apple AirPods Max are $50 cheaper at $399.99. Honestly, I might still feel a little wasteful spending $50 more to get a USB-C connector. If you find yourself in this spot, the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning are just as good.
You’ll get the same audio quality, ANC performance, design, build quality, battery life, and features. The only real difference is really the port!
