If You Act Quickly, You Can Save $150 on the New AirPods Max 2.
Prime Day is traditionally the best time to score deals on new Apple devices, but this year the retailer is breaking the bank early, offering an incredible $150 discount on AirPods Max 2. While the official sale doesn’t begin until tomorrow, Apple’s premium earbuds are already on sale for $399 in Starlight . That’s an impressive $150 off the original price of $549.99, and according to price tracking tools , it’s the lowest price yet. Yes, they’re still pricey, and yes, color options are limited to one—but these are Apple’s newest flagship earbuds and the best Bluetooth earbuds an Apple user can buy.
The most significant improvements in the AirPods Max 2 are the new “dynamic range” amplifier and the Apple H2 chip (now upgraded from the H1). But there are many other improvements worth noting. The amplifier produces clearer sound and more powerful bass with virtually no distortion, and it improves instrument separation, making spatial sound more enjoyable for listening to music or watching movies. The H2 chip improves many features, including Apple’s Voice Isolation feature, which uses the headphone microphone to isolate your voice in noisy environments. Transparency mode, spatial sound, and active noise cancellation have also been improved.
One of the most exciting features is the addition of “Real-Time Translation,” which, as the name suggests, lets you hear a translation of what’s said in another language directly through the headphones. You can also control your iPhone’s camera using the buttons on the AirPods. Active noise cancellation (ANC) is now adaptive, meaning it will increase or decrease its level depending on the ambient noise. You can read more about many other features in CNET’s review .
If you’re looking for the best and newest headphones that work seamlessly with your iPhone or Apple products, get the AirPods Max 2. You’re unlikely to find them at a lower price anytime soon.
