Pink AirPods Max Are on Sale at Their Lowest Price Ever
Headphone sales continue to impress since Prime Day . The AirPods Max have already dropped to a then-low price of $394.99, but the pink AirPods Max are now even cheaper at $382.70 (originally $549).
The AirPods Max are undoubtedly a luxury item; at the regular price they cost more than half a thousand. Most people can’t afford that amount of money for headphones alone, but these are very good headphones. As an Apple user, I think these are the best you can get, even though they haven’t been around for years. They came out in 2020, when there wasn’t much competition for headphones that could do active noise cancellation (ANC) and sense their surroundings while delivering luxurious sound. There is much more competition in all of these categories today, especially at this price point. However, buying AirPods Max is a statement . Even though they don’t have the Apple logo, you pay a high price for recognition. If that’s what you’re looking for, then these headphones are the ones for you.
The features aren’t all that impressive, but that’s to be expected for four-year-old headphones. However, the few features they do have are very well done (Apple’s signature minimalist style). They have excellent noise canceling (they don’t create a weird pressure sensation when turned on), they can hear your surroundings, they have an adaptive EQ and spatial audio that automatically adjusts the sound to you and your surroundings. Siri hands-free. PCMag gave them an “excellent” review .
Keep in mind that the AirPods Max are heavier than regular headphones at 13.6 ounces. This is due to the choice of using metal as a material. You also can’t manually adjust the EQ, so if you don’t like the sound signature, you’re out of luck. Finally, the smart case that comes with it isn’t the most attractive and doesn’t protect the mesh strap that sits on your head (the delicate part of the headphones). You’ll also need a case to put the headphones into sleep mode so you don’t drain the 20 hours of battery life.
