Apple’s USB-C AirPods Max are $69 off ahead of Prime Day

Amazon's Prime Day is fast approaching and the early deals are coming through thick and fast. One that is perhaps worth your attention is a discount on Apple's USB-C AirPods Max. The headphones have dropped to $480, which is a $69 discount. The deal is available for all AirPods Max colorways except purple (sorry if you were holding out for a good deal on that variant!). This isn't the best price we've ever seen for the AirPods Max. They dipped to $450 during last year's Black Friday period. Still, it's a solid discount for anyone looking to pick up a pair now. 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. 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.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/apples-usb-c-airpods-max-are-69-off-ahead-of-prime-day-144105490.html?src=rss
