Apple's second-generation AirPods Max are currently discounted to $449 at Amazon, $100 off their standard $549 price. The deal applies across all colour options and matters for shoppers weighing premium over-ear headphones, as it represents one of the best price cuts tracked since the model launched in April 2026.

The updated AirPods Max 2 bring improved active noise cancellation and sound quality, alongside a new H2 chip that enables adaptive audio and live translation features. Those seeking a cheaper alternative are pointed towards the $369 Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen), which offers many comparable features at a lower price.
