Apple’s AirPods Max: A Luxurious Audio Experience on Sale
The Apple AirPods Max headphones are currently available for $400 on Amazon, marking a significant $150 savings. This deal encompasses a variety of color options including gray, blue, silver, and pink.
Outstanding Features of the AirPods Max
For those unfamiliar, the AirPods Max are Apple’s premium over-ear headphones that epitomize luxury. Our in-depth review highlighted their amazing sound quality and effective active noise cancellation (ANC). The audio experience is superb thanks to an adaptive EQ feature that automatically modifies low and mid-range frequencies based on how the headphones fit within the user’s ears.
Long Battery Life with Quick Charging Options
The battery performance is commendable as well, offering about 20 hours of listening time even while utilizing ANC and spatial audio settings. An “automatic lower power mode” activates after 72 hours without being in use which conserves battery by deactivating Bluetooth connectivity along with Find My functionality. Notably absent is a conventional power button; thus, the headphones remain partially operational until all battery life is expended. However, they do feature a rapid charging option, providing up to 90 minutes of playback from just five minutes plugged in.

Limitations to Consider Before Purchase
However, it’s worth noting some drawbacks regarding these headphones. The accompanying case leaves much to be desired—it resembles more of a cloth cover than an actual protective case. Fortunately, placing the headphones inside this “case” does trigger their energy-saving mode. Another considerable downside is their price point; at $550 originally suggested retail price (MSRP), many consumers question whether such an investment makes sense for features that are now several years old compared to newer models offering advanced functions like adaptive transparency or USB-C charging capabilities.
