Latest AirPods Max (USB-C) are now down at $480 for Presidents’ Day (All colors now $79 off)

Amazon has now dropped the price on all AirPods Max (USB-C) colors down to $479.99 shipped. Regularly $549, this is $79 off the list price drop and matching the Best Buy Presidents’ Day sale offer. We did see the newer USB-C set drop to $550 for a brief time once earlier this year, but today’s deal lands within $20 on all five color options here today. The otherwise identical Lightning AirPods Max sets are now starting from $449 on Amazon, for comparison sake – we have seen these as low as $379 though. 

Apple’s AirPods Max are beloved by some, and just way too expensive for others. And with that in mind, we tend to make sure all of the notable price drops that hit on them, especially those that include all of the color options, are front and center for folks to take advantage of. 

While just about all of us would have hoped for an all-new set of AirPods Max 2 last September, as opposed to the upgraded USB-C charging port and fresh coats of paint, in many ways a great pair of headphones is a great pair of headphones, and many folks feel the AirPods Max are just that. 

I also happen to be a fan of the over-ear design here, complete with the knit-mesh canopy, memory foam ear cushions, and a metal build. The Max come powered by Apple’s H1 chip and deliver “pro-level” Active Noise Cancellation as well as a Transparency mode that “lets you comfortably hear and interact with the world around you” – this, of course, sits alongside Spatial Audio tech with dynamic head tracking.

AirPods Max with USB-C features:

Apple-designed dynamic driver provides high-fidelity audio. Computational audio combines custom acoustic design with the Apple H1 chip and software for breakthrough listening experiences. AirPods Max come in five fresh colors: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Orange. A color-matched Smart Case is also included. Pro-level Active Noise Cancellation removes up to 2x more background noise, so you can immerse yourself in music.
