Apple’s AirPods Max with USB-C drop to a record-low price for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day deals are in full swing now and we’re seeing record-low prices on a lot of our favorite gadgets. That even applies to some Apple devices, which do see regular discounts but it’s not often they see all-time lows. Right now, the USB-C AirPods Max headphones are on sale for $399 in starlight, which is $150 off their usual price and the best discount we’ve seen.
Apple finally refreshed the AirPods Max with a USB-C charging port and new colorways last fall. Earlier this year, the company updated the headphones with some new features, but only for the USB-C model. That version of the AirPods Max now supports lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio, though only in wired mode.

Apple’s AirPods Max have dropped to $399, which is a solid discount for Prime Day.
That update and the switch to USB-C charging are the only major changes Apple has made to the AirPods Max, which still otherwise use hardware from 2020. Even so, the headphones deliver high-quality audio with good active noise cancellation.
We gave the original version of the headphones a score of 84 in our review back in 2020. At the time, the lack of high-res music streaming was one of our main misgivings, but that has since been resolved. Another major negative for us was the price, though this offer mitigates that issue.
