This Is the Best Deal We’ve Seen on Apple’s AirPods Max Since Black Friday

If you think most Black Friday deals were a little meager this year, I’m right there with you. As far as tech products were concerned, I had my own wishlist but barely ended up buying anything because the discounts were not worthwhile. The good news is, you can find plenty more deals — and often better ones, at that — in the lead-up to Christmas. So many retailers are still offering holiday markdowns, including Walmart, whose sale section is rife with top-brand tech.

While browsing through the section, I came across Apple’s ultra-popular AirPods Max. I couldn’t believe they’re a whopping $150 off, especially because they’re such bestsellers. Everyone I know who owns a pair loves them, and Walmart reviewers also appear largely satisfied. In any case, if you’ve been eyeing the AirPods Max, now’s clearly the time to grab them. Consider them an early holiday gift to yourself — you’ll be so glad you acted!

I can’t walk down the streets of New York without spotting at least one person wearing these, and when you learn about the headphones’ amazing features, you’ll understand why they sell so well. Their sleek design and bevy of cute colors (five of which are available and on sale at Walmart) are only the initial draw. People who bought the AirPods concur that the noise cancellation is immaculate, as is the spatial audio that delivers theater-like surround sound quality. The headphones’ battery life is also impressive. One charge gets you 20 hours of listening time, so you can trust them to accompany you on long flights and commutes without issue. 

Of course, the AirPods Max also connect to other Apple devices seamlessly, and their on-head detection feature means your music will automatically pause the second you pull them off. Shoppers praise the headphones’ over-ear design, too; you can expect the memory foam cushions to cover your entire ear, so you don’t experience any pains or headaches. In short, there’s nothing to not love about the AirPods Max.

Average Rating: 4.6/5

“These are outstanding. My wife owns these in blue and loves them. I own a high-end pair of Bowers & Wilkins, so I was hesitant to buy these for myself. I am so glad I bought these. They blow away the Bowers & Wilkins by a long shot. Spatial audio is the only way to listen to music, and these are the only headphones that actually cancel noise properly. Best headphones in the game.” — Josh

“First off, the quality of these headphones is amazing. I have been eyeballing these headphones for a while. Second, the price was right at the time of my purchase. I could not find a better price anywhere. No buyer’s remorse here.” — Brian

“Great sound and extremely comfortable to wear for long periods. With the ear covers large enough to surround your ears, there is no discomfort after extended use. Easy set up and sync with Apple devices. You get what you pay for.” — Daren

Now that the AirPods Max are so heavily discounted, you’ll want to get your pair fast, especially before your desired color sells out or returns to its regular price. Your music-listening experience will be so much better after the purchase.
