SAVE $70: As of March 29, Apple AirPods Max are available for $479.99 at Amazon. That’s $70 off their regular price of $549 during Amazon’s Spring Sale.
I fully expected the AirPods Max to be wiped from Amazon’s shelves the second the Spring Sale went live. People love these headphones. They’ve got Apple’s seal of luxury, every tech influencer has raved about them, and they come in colors with names like “Starlight,” which sounds more like a candle scent than a gadget. And yet they’re still in stock. I’m stunned, and also one impulsive click away from owning them.
At $479.99, you’re saving $70 off the list price, which is basically a miracle for Apple gear. I’ve been side-eyeing these for a while, waiting for a rare sale like this. The price isn’t the lowest ever, but it’s close. For a product this popular, I’m not waiting around for a unicorn discount that may never come.
Apple packed these with features that make me feel like I’ve been listening to music with rocks in my ears until now. The sound is crisp and immersive thanks to the H1 chip and Spatial Audio, and they block out noise like they’ve got a personal vendetta against background chatter. I could probably sit on a plane next to a crying baby and still enjoy my moody playlists in peace.
Comfort-wise, they don’t just sit on your head — they lounge there. The memory foam ear cushions feel like tiny pillows for your ears, and the mesh canopy is far more breathable than the hoodie I refuse to take off.

If you live inside the Apple ecosystem like I do, the seamless syncing between devices is the kind of sorcery that actually justifies the hype. Pop them on, and your iPhone, MacBook, and iPad play nice without you lifting a finger. I love when my tech just works.
The Starlight color is the one on sale right now, which works out because I’m a sucker for anything that looks like it belongs in a fancy tech museum. Other colors are still available too, but they’ll cost you a bit more, because fashion has a price.
I honestly thought I’d be writing about these being sold out. Instead, I’m writing while inching closer to the “Buy Now” button. This deal might not last, and I’d rather have regrets about the purchase than regrets about missing it.
