Apple's AirPods Max 2 are at their lowest price yet, and the sale is live now.
Amazon has the AirPods Max 2 listed at $399, down from the $549 list price — a $150 discount. The deal went live ahead of Prime Day, which officially kicks off June 23. Whether it survives past the opening hours of the sale event is an open question, but it is available as of today.
For buyers who have been waiting for a price break, this is the threshold most deal-watchers said to hold out for. The headphones received solid marks for sound quality, Apple ecosystem compatibility, comfort, and build — but reviewers consistently flagged the list price as hard to justify. At $399, the math looks better, though it still puts them above most competing over-ear headphones from Sony and Bose at comparable discount points.
Apple rarely cuts prices itself, so Prime Day remains one of the few reliable windows to buy its hardware for less. That said, "record-low price" is a phrase that tends to reappear every few months.
