Apple's AirPods Max hit their lowest historic price of $395 during Prime Day.
Apple's only over-ear headphones are back to their lowest price to date, thanks to a special Prime Day deal.
Apple typically does not offer discounts on its products, which forces consumers to look for deals through third-party retailers. Amazon Prime Day has become a good opportunity to acquire Apple products at more accessible prices, and this year's October event is no exception. At this moment, the AirPods Max headphones, which are over-ear style, have returned to a price of $395. This amount represents a historical minimum price that originated during the Prime Day in July.
This specific model features a Lightning charging port. During the iPhone 16 launch event in September, Apple introduced new standard AirPods, but there was no announcement of new over-ear headphones. Instead, the AirPods Max received some new color options and an update that includes a USB-C port. However, the latter are not available at the same type of discount.
If you don't mind using an older charging method and are not looking for any of the new colors, you can take advantage of this offer. It is worth mentioning that new Max models are expected to be released next year, but it is unlikely they will reach this price range.
In terms of performance, the models are identical to the one reviewed in 2020, offering balanced sound and solid active noise cancellation. The weight of 385 grams may seem a bit heavy, but the design makes them feel light when worn. Additionally, the built-in controls are easy to manage, and the integration with Siri proves to be very useful.
The main complaint about the AirPods Max has been their high cost. However, now that they are priced at $395, this issue is mitigated, placing them at a price similar to the best model in our headphone guide. For brand fans who value premium construction and Apple design, this is quite an attractive offer.
