Apple’s new AirPods Max 2 hit best price ever today

The early Prime Day deals are really flying now, with AirPods Pro 3 down at one of the best prices ever and AirPods 4 at nearly 25% off, but now it is time for the new AirPods Max 2. 

Best Buy launched a wide-ranging Apple Shopping Event today and, while most of the gear is sitting at a lower price on Amazon right now, it has the lowest price on the new AirPods Max 2 – we are expecting Amazon to price match or slightly undercut this deal at anytime now though.  

Best Buy is now offering AirPods Max 2 down at $499 shipped in all five colors. Regularly $549, that’s a straight $50 off the list price and the best deal we have tracked to date on Apple’s new flagship over-ear headphones. 

Previous to today, the new Max 2 have never dropped below the $509 we were tracking at Amazon earlier this week. There is of course a chance we see them drop a bit lower for Prime Day later this month, but we were targeting the $499 discount price we have here today. 

The new AirPods Max 2 landed earlier this year as what is arguably the first proper next-generation Apple over-ears. We did see a color refresh and the introduction of USB-C as part of the last product line update, but they were more or less identical to the originals otherwise. This time around, Max 2 delivers the H2 chip and a new high dynamic range amp for better audio reproduction as well as upgraded ANC and Transparency modes – “up to 1.5x more Active Noise Cancellation.”
