Refurbished AirPods Max Are Now $340.
AirPods Max are Apple’s most expensive headphones, with new models selling for over half a thousand dollars, but they are also the best headphones Apple users can get. Not everyone can accidentally shell out that kind of money on headphones, so any discounts are certainly welcome. Right now, Best Buy is selling refurbished AirPods Max for $339.99 (originally $549.99), which is cheaper than Amazon sells them for .
Best Buy’s Geek Squad Certified Refurbished program offers a 90-day warranty, so if your refurbished headphones have any defects, be sure to report it before those three months are up. Because you shop at Best Buy, you also get three months of free Apple Music and three months of free Apple Fitness+.
At an Apple event earlier this month, a new version of the AirPods Max was unveiled with a few new colors and USB-C charging, but otherwise it’s essentially the same. However, the older model received the iOS 18 update, bringing personalized spatial audio support.
If you want to time your purchase, you can find them new on Amazon for $399 , as they did earlier this month, but there’s no indication of how long it will take for that to happen again (but if it does, I’ll let you know).
AirPods Max feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), environmental awareness, and premium audio . These are some of the best active noise-canceling headphones you can buy, and they shouldn’t give you a weird feeling of pressure when you turn them on. They have very good environmental awareness to hear your surroundings well (they have an adaptive EQ and spatial audio that automatically adjusts the sound to you and your surroundings) and hands-free Siri, according to an “excellent” PCMag review .
