Apple is renowned for its AirPods for sound, but headphone enthusiasts should also consider the AirPods Max. These headphones offer a great option for those looking to stay within the Apple ecosystem without the worry of losing a tiny earbud, although the main drawback is their high price. Currently, the AirPods Max are on sale for $399, discounted by 27% from their original price of $549, a deal that is only $4 more than their previous Prime Day low. Available in all colors, the Apple AirPods Max were introduced in 2020 as the company’s first venture into headphones and have since been the only option available. With an 84 rating in our review, the headphones boast features like active noise cancellation, user-friendly buttons for toggling ANC and transparency mode, a balanced sound profile, and 20 hours of battery life with ANC and spatial audio enabled. Despite these impressive qualities, concerns remain about the weight of 385 grams, offset somewhat by the wider headband, and their lack of comfort as the ear cups become noticeable after wearing for a short period.
