Apple’s latest USB-C AirPods Max now nearly $80 off for Memorial Day, or up to $130 off open-box w/ 1-yr. warranty

Reg. $549/From $419

As part of the Amazon Memorial Day sale, and just after the highly-anticipated launch of the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, you’ll now find Apple’s latest USB-C AirPods Max over-ear headphones marked down to $479.99 shipped. Regularly $549, this is on par with our previous mention at nearly $80 off the list price. Head below for more details and a chance to save even more on some open-box listing. 

Reports from over the weekend sourced from a trusted Apple analysts suggest the AirPods hardware upgrades might not be coming until next year, with a proper AirPods Max revision getting potentially held off until sometime in 2027. That’s not great news for fans of Apple’s premium over-ears, but it does also mean that an investment now will leave you with Apple’s latest and greatest for a couple years or so. 

While we did see a short-lived opportunity earlier this year to land a set at $99 off, they do no often drop below the $480 we are seeing here today – all of the latest USB-C colors are now on sale. 

We are also tracking some opportunities to save on almost all of the latest USB-C colorways in “excellent” open-box condition courtesy of Best Buy. They are said to work and look like new with a full 1-year Apple warranty included. 

• Midnight $446 (Reg. $549 new)
• Blue $441 (Reg. $549 new)
• Purple $446 (Reg. $549 new)
• Starlight $437 (Reg. $549 new)

Anyone buying a new set of over-ear headphones right now should definitely have the new Sony WH-1000XM6 on their radar. After getting a chance to test them out ahead of the world wide debut last week, I can confidently say they are easily the most exciting release in the headphone world for some time. They are now available for purchase and all of the details you need are waiting right here.
