Happy AirPods Max 2 release day: Trade-in deals up to $130 off, or $149 off USB-C set

Apple’s brand new AirPods Max 2 have finally landed in stores as of this morning with pre-orders beginning to land on doorsteps any time now. Amazon has also continued its spring deal pricing on AirPods Pro 3 for folks who prefer the in-ear vibe and is also offering the now previous AirPods Max (USB-C set) at nearly $100 off, but Woot has several colors the at $149 off right now.

The new AirPods Max 2 are out in the wild with some enhancements across the board, but a mostly similar vibe and the same five color options. We are tracking a light launch day deal at Amazon for the Midnight set, alongside some ongoing trade-in offers courtesy of Best Buy (you can get $130 back towards the Max 2 with an older Lightning set trade-in), but there are also some deals on the still more than capable and largely similar AirPods Max (USB-C):


AirPods Max 2 review: High-end adds modern features at last


Just keep in mind, as mentioned above, if you’re upgrading from the older Lightning AirPods Max, Best Buy will knock $130 off trade-ins for the new AirPods Max 2 in the form of a refund. This is going to be, for most, a better option than the USB-C deal above, but only available if you have a Lightning set to flip. 

AirPods Max (USB-C) features:

  • ULTIMATE OVER-EAR LISTENING EXPERIENCE — 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 like Lossless Audio with ultra-low latency over USB-C.
  • FIVE FRESH COLORS — AirPods Max come in five fresh colors: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Orange. A color-matched Smart Case is also included.
  • FOCUS ON WHAT’S PLAYING — Pro-level Active Noise Cancellation removes up to 2x more background noise, so you can immerse yourself in music.*
  • HEAR THE WORLD AROUND YOU — Transparency mode lets you comfortably hear and interact with the world around you.
  • PERSONALIZED SPATIAL AUDIO — With sound that suits your unique ear shape along with dynamic head tracking, AirPods Max deliver an immersive listening experience that places sound all around you.* You can also listen to select songs, shows, and movies in Dolby Atmos.
