The AirPods Max are among the best headphones for Apple users and Dune 2 star Timothée Chalamet’s favorite ear cans. Headphone deals are plentiful at the moment which makes it a great time to upgrade your audio wearables. Right now, you can get the fashionable Apple AirPods Max for $429 at Amazon. Normally $549, that's $120 off and one of the best prices we've seen for the AirPods Max since Prime Day in July.

This discount only applies to the AirPods Max that charge via Lightning, the USB-C models remain at their typical $549. You may need to wait for Amazon Big Deal Days or Black Friday if USB-C charging is important to you. The deepest discount is also only available on the Pink colorway with the Space Gray model at a still compelling $449.

Featuring noise cancelling and spatial audio, the AirPods Max create a 360-degree soundscape for an immersive listening experience. Despite their 13.6 ounce heft, the AirPods Max are surprisingly comfortable. The headphones' mesh fabric-covered memory foam ear cups keep the ears cozy and dry. 

If style, noise-blocking and comfort are important to you, the AirPods Max are the headphones you want.
