This Early Black Friday Deal Takes $149 Off Apple’s AirPods Max, an All-Time Low

Don’t miss your chance to bag Apple’s premium wireless headphones for just $400.

It’s never a bad time to buy a new pair of AirPods Max, especially if you’re in the Apple ecosystem. But some times are absolute no-brainers, like a Black Friday deal. Order today, and you’ll get your choice of color for an all-time low price of just $400 at Amazon.

You don’t need to enter any discount codes or clip any coupons, but but be warned: This Black Friday sale is unlikely to last. For that reason alone, I suggest placing your AirPods Max order soon before it’s too late.

The features on these Apple headphones are essentially identical to the previous-gen AirPods Max model, albeit with a USB-C port instead of the previous Lightning port. The switch means the same charging cable can be used with all of the latest Apple hardware, including iPads, Macs, iPhones and their accessories.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

You can expect strong active noise cancellation performance as well as instant device pairing and switching, thanks to the Apple H1 chip. Support for personalized spatial audio and the excellent transparency mode is also included. Remember you can also choose your color when ordering the AirPods Max. I’m a big fan of the orange, but you do you.
