If you find yourself frequently listening to the latest and greatest songs, brand new audiobooks, or exciting podcasts, it's important to have headphones that can keep up with you. High-quality options usually come with a hefty price tag, but every once in a while a deal floats around that's worth taking advantage of. If you're an Apple user who has been looking to make the jump to the Apple AirPods Max (USB-C), you're in luck, as they're currently on sale at Best Buy.

The retailer has knocked the price of the Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) down by $70, from $549.99 to $479.99. This applies to all of the available colors as well, so you can choose between the midnight, blue, orange, purple, and starlight models. That's not all, though. Your purchase also comes with Apple Fitness+ for free for three months if you're a new subscriber and up to three months of Apple Music for free if you're a new or returning subscriber.

The AirPods Max headphones offer excellent sound quality courtesy of the Apple H1 chip. They also offer noise-canceling features that let you either completely tune out the world around you or open things up to hear your surroundings without cutting off what you're listening to. We had a lot of positives to note about them in our review, with Brenda Stolyar saying, "When it comes down to it, the AirPods Max check off almost all the boxes for what makes an excellent pair of headphones: great sound quality, ideal battery life, easy controls, and a stylish design (sans Smart Case)."

We also ranked them in our roundup of the best noise-canceling headphones for flying as the best option for Apple loyalists, noting "The AirPods Max aren't just a pretty pair of headphones. With the help of eight microphones, these headphones provide excellent active noise cancellation."
