For a sequel to a largely unimpressive and arguably overpriced product many of you were expecting for several years, the AirPods Max 2 went official a few months back with a pretty underwhelming set of capabilities and specs, as well as the same hard-to-stomach price point as the original 2020 edition.
Apple AirPods Max 2
$50 off (9%)
Unveiled less than three months ago and discounted for the first time very shortly thereafter, Apple’s long overdue second-gen AirPods Max are on sale at their best price to date in Midnight, Purple, Orange, Blue, and Starlight colors with no Prime membership required or any other strings attached. All you have to do is hurry!

Yes, you can slash $50 off the $549 list price of the second-gen AirPods Max at the time of this writing, and although that’s obviously not a major improvement over the aforementioned 40 bucks, it’s a more appealing offer nonetheless, and it seems like the kind of promotion that could go unbeaten for several months to come.
That might include the Prime Day 2026 sales event scheduled to take place between June 23 and June 27, with the crucial distinction being that you don’t need an Amazon Prime membership to save 50 bucks today. And if you hurry, you can even choose your favorite color option from a palette that includes Midnight, Purple, Orange, Blue, and Starlight hues at the same record low price.

The AirPods Max 2, remember, are not that different from the AirPods Max 1 at first glance, basically keeping the external appearance unchanged… as well as the 20-hour battery life promise. An Apple H2 chip enabling ultra-advanced features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, and Live Translation represents without a doubt the biggest upgrade over the H1-powered first-gen AirPods Max, and of course, both the overall sound quality and active noise cancellation are allegedly “elevated” to rival Sony’s WH-1000XM6 and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).
