AirPods Max in Silver Now Available to Ship on Amazon

Following stock for the Pink AirPods Max last week, today we're seeing refreshed stock for the AirPods Max in Silver at Amazon for a price of $549.00.

AirPods Max In Stock Silver
Silver and Space Gray ‌AirPods Max‌ are the most popular versions of the headphones to appear in stock at places like Verizon, Amazon, and B&H Photo. The other three colors have been available as well at certain retailers.

We've been keeping track of ‌‌‌AirPods Max‌‌‌ stock at third-party retailers because the headphones still have shipping estimates delayed into April on Apple's website. If you're interested in getting the over-ear headphones as soon as possible, one of these retailers will be your best bet for the foreseeable future.

‌‌AirPods Max‌‌‌ feature Active Noise Cancellation technology and the same Transparency mode, Adaptive EQ, and spatial audio features that are in the AirPods Pro. If you're hunting for even more AirPods deals, we track sales for every model of the ‌‌AirPods‌‌ in our Best AirPods Deals guide.

Yes, they are. Dozens of people have reviewed them and found them no better than $250 Sonys. Certainly not $300 better.
And many others have reviewed them and/or torn them down and found they're incredibly well built and have stellar sound and noise cancellation.

There are people who will roast you for paying for an iPhone too, telling you whatever $400 Android phone is "just as good" -- and for them maybe it is.

But that's the beauty of the marketplace: you're free to buy your Sonys, I'm free to buy these. Does it just bother you that others are paying for something you don't think is worth it? Maybe recognize that not everyone's perception of value is the same as yours and maybe don't feel compelled to weigh in on something you have no intention of buying.

If I was a little richer I'd buy a pair for my wife. She borrows mine more or less constantly.
Anything like my wife, you could buy her 5 pair and she'd still use yours....

They're not though. Do you own a pair?
Thats the thing. 99% of the people that say they are worth low prices have never had a pair. I am not saying that 550$ is warranted, but for people to think that they are worth no more than 250$ never touched them.

I bought the blue Max headphones 2 months ago. I paid $800 in Canada.

It is very easy to use.

These headphones are less bulky compared to competitor headphones.

The better noise cancellation makes listening to Jazz or Classical music much better. Any nuanced music is better when noise cancellation is better.

I like the sound these headphones produce.

There are complaints about cost. You can get these headphones with a payment plan.
