Walmart Drops Apple’s Impressive AirPods Max to Under $400 for Prime Day

Few headphones are more premium than Apple’s AirPods Max, and this is the only deal under $400 right now.

Hear ye, hear ye! Amazon Prime Day is now underway — running Tuesday through Friday this year — and it’s the perfect opportunity to level up your tech essentials. There are tons of deals to be had: just keep checking back with CNET. For example, check out this current smash deal on some of the best wireless headphones around, Apple’s updated AirPods Max with USB-C.

Walmart is leading the way on the best deal so far on these amazing AirPods, slashing the price to $399 — the only merchant going sub-$400 currently. The deal includes various colors. Stock availability varies by region, but local Walmart stores in your area might have these AirPods available for in-person pickup.

No matter the price tag on the AirPods Max, there’s no denying that the quality makes the price worth it. And did I mention they come in cool colors? Blue, midnight, orange, purple and starlight. The catch is that we don’t know how long this deal is going to stick around (indeed, some colors are already sold out).

These headphones’ features are essentially identical to the previous AirPods Max, albeit with a USB-C port instead of the previous Lightning port. The switch means that the same charging cable can be used across all of Apple’s latest hardware releases, 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 Apple’s H1 chip. Support for personalized spatial audio and the excellent transparency mode is also included.
