I’ve gone on record before stating the following: the Apple AirPods Max are the best set of over-ear headphones I’ve ever used. They keep me entertained by pumping out Arsenal podcasts while I’m walking my husky in drab Scottish weather, noise-canceling features are class-leading, and these superb cans single-handedly saved my dream vacation last year by all-but-eliminating the constant wailing of peacocks that were residing on the grounds of my resort on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai. At time of writing, the Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Canceling are on sale at Amazon for $449 .

That’s the joint cheapest I've ever seen Apple's excellent over-ear audio gizmo go for, and a $100 saving over the normal $549 listing price certainly isn't to be sniffed at. Just note that this is a limited time deal, so it may only last a few more days. Apple AirPods Max: was $549 now $499 @ Amazon LIMITED TIME DEAL! The AirPods Max are Apple's premium, retro-style headphones.

They feature large ear cushions, a digital crown, active noise cancelation and Spatial Audio. The latter feature uses head-tracking to offer a surround sound experience. In our AirPods Max review we said that the combination of comfort, pristine audio quality and fantastic features (like Dolby Atmos support), is hard to beat.

The Max also proves a doddle to pair with the best iPhones and the best iPads over Bluetooth. The House that Bezos Build guarantees delivery for Prime.
