Deals: AirPods Max Drop to $449.99 on Amazon ($99 Off)

It's been a month since we last tracked a notable deal on the AirPods Max, but today Amazon has discounted the high-end headphones to $449.99, down from $549.00. This is one of the best deals we've seen in 2022 on the AirPods Max, and overall it's a second-best price.

Still too expensive. $299 would be great.

My AirPods Max (pictured in my avatar) have held-up very well over almost 1.5 years. Structurally these things could last another 10 years. I connect the cable to my iPhone for 'lossless' playback.

I get what you're saying about the quality being better when wired - and I agree

But we shouldn't use the term "lossless" there.

That has a specific meaning and wired AirPods Max usage isn't lossless.
A better term could be "lessloss" 🙃

Just not a great product for this price point. I have heard better audio from cheaper headphones.

I don't think the Max's can actually do true lossless, even wired..

That said, I do enjoy them wired up to my 4th Gen iPod!
I am not saying they do "true lossless". I can say it is better than BlueTooth. For example, a nuanced song with many different instruments playing at the same time (timbre is important) can sound a bit muddy with Bluetooth but using the cable the muddiness is gone and the song is truer. This depends on the song and how important it is to differentiate instruments.
