Apple is best known for its headphones AirPods when it comes to sound, there are those who only like headphones AirPods Max to take into account. As part of the Labor Day sale, these headphones are down 27 percent from $549 to $399. A $150 discount is only $4 more than that their Prime Day all-time low and available in every color. The AirPods Max provide a solid option for anyone who wants to stay in the Apple family without worrying about losing their tiny earbuds. The biggest problem is that they’re expensive, but this Labor Day sale makes them an even better buy.
The Apple AirPods Max hit the scene in 2020 as the company’s first entry into headphones, and have remained the only option ever since. We gave the headphones 84 in our review thanks to many features we liked and some we weren’t impressed with. We liked the AirPods Max’s active noise-canceling capabilities and easy-to-use buttons — for example, switching from ANC to transparency mode. The headphones also deliver balanced sound and have a 20-hour charge with ANC and surround sound enabled.
As we said, the biggest problem with these headphones is the price, but this sale helps quite a bit. Other things we’re not too impressed with include their 385g weight – although the wider headband balances it out. Moreover, the headphones are not very comfortable, as the rings become noticeable after wearing them for a few minutes.
