One of the Cyber Monday AirPods deals that many of us have been waiting for, the Apple AirPods Max are pretty special. We described them as the ‘most fun headphones ever’ thanks to them simplifying pretty much everything and looking good as well. Some of the best headphones around, the Apple AirPods Max use an Apple-designed dynamic driver to provide you with high-fidelity audio. Additionally, it includes Apple’s spatial audio with dynamic head tracking so you get theater-like sound that surrounds you, making you feel like you’re actually at a concert.

Computational audio combines custom acoustic design with the Apple H1 chip so you get reliable performance and connectivity and a superior experience every time. Further helping matters, the Apple AirPods Max are some of the best noise-canceling headphones with its active noise cancellation capable of effectively blocking outside noise while also allowing you to return when you need to via its great transparency mode.

With 20 hours of listening time off one charge, you’ll rarely need to remove these headphones unless you absolutely need to. That’s further helped by how comfortable they are with a knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions that provide you with a great fit that feels good on your head and around your ears.

Some of the best headphones around, particularly for owners of other Apple devices, the Apple AirPods Max are a delight to use in every way. Normally priced at $549 at Amazon, they’re down to $450 right now, saving you $99 off the usual price. This is a great deal for anyone keen to invest in high-end headphones. Buy them now before the deal ends.

We don't often see excellent deals on Apple products, especially its higher-end stuff like the AirPods Max. That's exactly why we're so happy to see this deal from Amazon that discounts the AirPods Max down to $450 from $549, a whopping $100 discount we rarely see.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
There's a lot to say about the Apple AirPods Max, the least of which is that they have excellent audio thanks to Apple's H1 audio chip, which each cup has. Having so many chips on there means you get some fancy features, such as spatial audio and industry-leading ANC. As for audio fidelity, it's very clear, although not as punchy as something like the Sony WH-1000XM4, which isn't to say it isn't as deep; it has excellent bass, but it doesn't have the same mid-range boost as the XM4. As for the treble range, it's similarly clear and sparkly without being too tinny sounding, which makes it easier when listening to brass instruments, so it's great if you're into jazz or classical music. One thing to note is that you might get different listening experiences depending on whether ANC is on or off, but that seems to vary significantly by person.
