Best Buy is running a limited 2-day Christmas sale featuring a variety of Apple products. Among the highlights are the AirPods Max over-ear headphones (Lightning version), now priced at $379 after a generous $170 discount (31% off).

This deal applies to all the original color options of the AirPods Max, including black, silver, blue, pink, and green. The sale ends tomorrow, giving you just enough time to grab a pair of these premium headphones.

Why You Should Consider the Apple AirPods Max

Although Apple recently updated the AirPods Max (review), the only significant change is the introduction of a USB-C port, replacing the previous Lightning connector. As a result, the original AirPods Max delivers virtually the same features and audio quality as the newer model.

The AirPods Max boasts a premium and sleek design that stands out. The headband is slim, well-padded, and features a distinctive knitted mesh canopy. The stainless-steel telescopic arms are sturdy and adjustable, while the earcups integrate intuitive physical controls like a digital crown and a noise control button.

For those seeking top-notch noise cancellation, the AirPods Max is a standout choice. It excels in reducing external noise and offers a natural transparency mode for situations where you want ambient sound. Additionally, it features immersive spatial audio with dynamic head-tracking, providing a cinematic listening experience.

When it comes to sound quality, the AirPods Max delivers a balanced and pleasing audio profile. While the headphones only support basic AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs, you can connect them via a wired option for high-resolution or lossless music playback.

A notable feature of the AirPods Max is its automated power management, eliminating the need for a dedicated on/off button. Despite this, the battery life is impressive, lasting up to 20 hours with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) enabled.

I still remember how amazed I was when I first got hold of the Nokia 3210 back when I was a kid, and it was during that time I developed my love for technology, particularly for mobile phones. I started sharing my knowledge through writing in different blogs and forums back in Nokia Nseries era. I even make videos before where I put different phones side-by-side. Today, I'm still an avid enthusiast of smartphones, but my interests have evolved into smart devices and electric vehicles.
