If you’ve had your sights set on the Apple AirPods Max for a while now, but you’ve been waiting for a chance to get them with a huge discount, today’s the day: Best Buy is selling the wireless headphones for $400, for savings of $150 on their original price of $550. They don’t always appear on headphone deals, so we’re pretty sure that a lot of shoppers will try to take advantage of this offer. Before the stocks that are up for sale run out, secure your own by pushing through with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max

The Apple AirPods Max on sale are the original release with the Lightning port, not the Apple AirPods Max update with the USB-C port, but that’s not likely going to be a problem for Apple fans who still have some devices using the brand’s proprietary connector. You’re still getting a device that appears in our roundups of the best headphones as our pick for iPhone owners and best noise-canceling headphones as our recommend choice for Apple users. It all begins with the amazing active noise cancellation of the Apple AirPods Max, their fantastic transparency mode when you want to hear what’s going on around you without having to take them off, and support for spatial audio for an immersive listening experience.

On a full charge, the Apple AirPods Max can last up to 20 hours with ANC and spatial audio activated, and you’ll be able to maximize that battery life because the wireless headphones are very comfortable to wear with their knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions. With excellent sound quality and call quality, the Apple AirPods Max will prove to be a great companion for your daily activities.

There’s always high demand for AirPods deals, especially for the Apple AirPods Max, so we think there’s not a lot of time remaining before Best Buy’s offer for the wireless headphones expires. Instead of their sticker price of $550, you’ll only have to pay $400 following a $150 discount. You need to be quick, as the bargain may be gone as soon as tomorrow, and we’re not sure when it will return if you miss it. Complete your transaction for the Apple AirPods Max right now while you can get them for a lower price than usual.

Trying to watch TV without disturbing anyone else in your household can be tricky. Whether you're trying to avoid waking a sleeping partner or little one or just looking to grab a quiet moment to yourself, you end up worrying more about the volume than enjoying whatever you're watching. We've all been there, and thankfully, there’s a simple solution that music lovers have long embraced: headphones. They are your secret weapon for immersive audio without disturbing the world around you.

Using headphones with your TV is now easier than ever. Most modern smart TVs and gaming consoles are equipped with Bluetooth, allowing for a seamless wireless connection. In addition, most streaming devices support Bluetooth headphone connections as well.

Don’t miss this chance to get the Apple AirPods 3 for $99
Apple AirPods 3 in their case..

Apple fans who are on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals probably have their sights set on AirPods. If you don't mind getting an older model, you can currently buy the Apple AirPods 3 for a very affordable $99 from Walmart, following a $70 discount on their sticker price of $169. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this offer, but with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, we don't think the limited stocks for these wireless earbuds will last long. Proceed with your purchase now if you don't want to miss this bargain.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods 3
While the Apple AirPods 4 was released last year, alongside the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, we still highly recommend the Apple AirPods 3, especially at this discounted price. The wireless earbuds are more than three years old, but their sound quality remains impressive, and they also support personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience when listening to compatible content. The Apple AirPods 3 also come with the line's trademark ease of pairing with an iPhone -- just place them near your device, open their charging case, and tap the onscreen instructions to pair them.

Get the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning while they’re still $150 off
Apple AirPods Max.

Noise-canceling headphones and earbuds are one of the best ways to indulge in your favorite tunes while tuning out the outside world. We’ve had the opportunity to review many different noise-canceling audio wearables over the years and we often think fondly of our time spent with the original Apple AirPods Max. These puppies are still sold brand-new, but the $550 MSRP has acted as quite a deterrent for some time. But not today:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning at Best Buy, you’ll only pay $400. We tested these headphones a few years ago and reviewer Caleb Denison said: “The AirPods Max are exquisitely crafted headphones, built for Apple lovers.”
