The wireless headphones are designed for performance, with a custom acoustic housing and a big dynamic driver pushing through high-fidelity, theater-like sound. Apple’s audio engineers have also implemented spatial audio in these cans, which creates a more natural and realistic listening experience. Music floats around you rather than directly at you, while “dynamic head tracking” technology keeps the sound at ear level, even if you’re on the move.
The AirPods Max come with active noise cancellation technology (ANC), which helps to block out ambient noise. It makes these headphones especially great for traveling or for work. Turn on “transparency mode” when you need to let a little outside noise in, say, to be alerted to traffic, or to hear a colleague speak.
Battery life is super strong on the AirPods Max, with up to 20 hours of playtime on a single charge. A quick five-minute charge gets you 1.5 hours of listening time.
We like the instantly-iconic design of these Apple headphones, which feature oversized memory foam ear cushions and a knit-mesh headband (which never gets sweaty). Adjust the headband to find your most comfortable fit.
Normally $549+, get the Apple AirPods Max Headphones on sale for just $499 at Amazon.com — a 9% discount. We’re partial to the silver colorway (above) but you can choose from five different colors on sale, including grey, green, pink and “sky blue.” The AirPods Max are still priced at $549 on Apple’s own website, so this is a deal is worth taking advantage of.
