Don’t Miss Out! Apple’s AirPods Max Are Just $399 This Labor Day [CNET]

Apple’s impressive AirPods Max noise-canceling headphones are available for just $399. Don’t miss out on this huge discount this sale season.

It’s impossible to look at buying a new pair of high-end headphones without coming across the AirPods Max headphones from Apple. These are some of the best headphones on the market right now, and we have the review to prove it. CNET editor David Carnoy said they deliver richer, more detailed sound than lower-priced competitors from established audio outfits like Bose and Sony. Unfortunately, quality like this is never going to come cheap. A pair of these headphones would normally set you back $549, a figure that will no doubt put some potential buyers off. Thankfully, as part of this year’s Labor Day sales, Amazon has slashed the price by $150, bringing the cost down to just $399. That’s only slightly more than the best price we’ve seen so far, and you even get to choose between multiple color finishes.

Apple’s AirPods Max have active noise cancellation, which lets you tune out the world when you need to focus on work, calls or other important tasks. Transparency mode lets you listen to your favorite media while remaining aware of what’s going on around you. You can also use features like personalized audio for sound that’s customized to your ear shape, as well as dynamic head tracking that makes spatial audio feel like it’s coming from all around you.

These over-ear wireless headphones are equipped with an Apple H1 chip, which enables some neat features, such as a one-tap pairing process with your iPhone, iPad or Mac. The AirPods Max can also automatically switch between your Apple devices, so you can listen to music from your MacBook and easily take a call on your iPhone without having to fuss with Bluetooth settings.

If you’re looking for headphones but the AirPods Max are still a bit too rich for your blood, don’t miss out on other headphone deals from big box retailers — like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart — this Labor Day.
