Apple’s AirPods Max 2 is $150 off for the first time

Walmart He has Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones In every color they’re discounted to $399.99 (regularly $549) during Walmart’s sale, which is the lowest price we’ve seen by far. Amazon Currently the Starlight color is sold at this price. In our review, we praised Apple’s latest over-ear headphones for their excellent sound quality, impressive noise cancellation, and outstanding build quality. The upgraded speaker gives the speaker some extra oomph to the same drivers found in the first-generation AirPods Max with USB-C, and a new processing chip supports features like live translation and conversation awareness.

Unfortunately, this incremental update missed the opportunity to resolve some of the previous version’s biggest flaws. For example, these devices don’t have a power button, so you’ll need to use a carrying case to put them to sleep, and they lose most of their unique functionality when connected to anything other than an iOS device. Price is usually a sticking point as well, but this discount brings it in line with our favorite noise-cancelling headphone, the Sony WH-1000XM6 (Read our hands-on impressions).
