Apple’s AirPods Max, despite their steep price tag, are still one of the best pairs of active noise-canceling headphones in the space. Now that iconic and expensive build is down to its lowest price ever.

The AirPods Max are just $300 over at Best Buy — that is, if you don’t mind going with a refurbished model. That’s $249 off the usual price tag on this model with Lightning charging port, and the deal applies to all five of the original colors.

A seamless addition to your Apple ecosystem, the AirPods Max headphones deliver a premium listening experience with top-notch features like noise cancellation and transparency. Save on all five of the original colors.

If you have a big love for Apple, it’s worthwhile to consider this luxury purchase. The AirPods Max headphones boast a satisfying sound that hits the right notes, impressive noise cancellation, best-in-class transparency and a killer Home Entertainment audio mode. We just went back and revisited the headphones in May, walking away as impressed as ever.

Apple may have just revealed a new edition with very minimal changes focused around a USB-C charging port. But for nearly $250 off, there’s no beating the same sound quality, active noise cancellation and other premium features.

The whole noise-canceling experience is powered by the passive seal of the ear cups, the active use of nine microphones and the two Apple H1 processors inside that work together to block out the noise. The real star is Transparency mode, which essentially brings in the world around you in a very natural way. No extra processing or graininess is being introduced. You can make out speech — either prerecorded or from actual humans — a dog barking or a knock on the door.

The sensors on these Apple headphones also allow for an easy transition from wear to removal. As soon as you lift an ear cup or take the headphones off, playback is paused and you’re back in the real world. You can also get a seamless transition between all your Apple devices. Placing them back on your head reconnects to the device you’re using and you can resume playback. It’s the AirPods experience you’d expect with some premium additions — all at a solid discount right now.

Just be sure to act fast because this Best Buy offer is only live through the end of the day.
