Best Apple deal: Save $99 on Apple Apple AirPods Max at Amazon

SAVE $99: Amazon is offering Apple’s AirPods Max for $449.99 (regularly $549), available in midnight, blue, orange, and starlight.

Now might finally be the time to jumy on Apple’s luxury over-ear headphones. As of Aug. 1, Apple AirPods Max are marked down to $449.99 on Amazon, giving you a cool $100 off their usual $549 price tag. The deal applies to multiple colour options, including midnight, blue, orange, and starlight.

According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, that's the best price we've seen in weeks.

Apple designed the AirPods Max to take your listening sessions to a new level. Their custom-built dynamic driver and computational audio powered by the Apple H1 chip deliver high-fidelity sound with clarity and depth that rivals many studio-grade headphones. Combine that with pro-level Active Noise Cancellation that cuts out twice as much background noise as earlier AirPods models, and you’ve got an experience that’s all about focus and immersion.

We even tested them at Mashable in a dedicated AirPods Max review of its lossless audio, and declared that these are excellent all-rounder headphones.

If you need to stay aware of your surroundings, you can switch to Transparency mode for a natural mix of music and ambient sound, making it easy to chat or hear what’s going on around you without missing a beat. Personalised Spatial Audio is another standout, tailoring playback to your unique ear shape and dynamically tracking your head for a 360-degree soundscape — especially impressive with Dolby Atmos-supported content.

Beyond sound, Apple put serious thought into comfort. The AirPods Max feature a breathable knit-mesh canopy and plush memory foam ear cushions for a secure yet weightless feel, ideal for long listening sessions. A colour-matched Smart Case is included, and with USB-C charging, you can stay powered up with ease.

Seamless setup and automatic switching between iPhone, iPad, and Mac make these headphones as smart as they are stylish. They even pause your music the instant you take them off.

At $449.99, the AirPods Max bring Apple’s most advanced audio tech into a slightly more accessible price range. If you’ve been eyeing a pair, this Amazon deal is a great opportunity to upgrade your sound game while keeping nearly $100 in your pocket.
