One of the best wireless headphones, and certainly one of the most expensive, the AirPods Max deliver impeccable audio quality while also offering a solid construction that outshines the competition. Unfortunately, all of these perks come at a literal price, and at $549 for the USB-C version, these were not for the faint of heart. Thankfully, things have dialed down, with Amazon introducing a $70 discount on all five colors, with the premium headphones now available for $479.99, making these slightly less taxing on the wallet.
Where the AirPods Max shine over Apple’s remaining AirPods family is in the product category itself, as these ‘over the ear’ headphones provide a proper seal to block the background noise while also enabling Active Noise Cancellation. You can also seamlessly transition to Transparency Mode when required, and on a single charge, the AirPods Max can last for an impressive 20 hours. The convenience of a USB-C port in comparison to a Lightning one is unparalleled, and you are not required to carry around an extra cable with you at all times.
If there was anything that we could change about the AirPods Max, it is that these ship with Apple’s improved H2 chip instead of the H1, and even though the latter does an exceptional job when it comes to device pairing and minimizing latency, having the latest and greatest internals always has a certain degree of satisfaction. If the AirPods Max are too hefty for your budget, but you still want to experience Active Noise Cancellation, we recommend getting the AirPods Pro 2 as these are available at their lowest price for the year at $169.
