Apple's AirPods Max are the ultimate over-ear headphones, and they just got even better — and cheaper.

Right now, Best Buy is offering the AirPods Max with USB-C for $449.99, down $100 from their regular price of $549.99. If you've been waiting for a price drop, this might be the time to snag them.

These aren't just headphones; they're Apple's high-fidelity audio powerhouse. The dynamic driver delivers pristine sound quality with deep bass, crisp highs, and everything in between. Thanks to Active Noise Cancellation, you can dive into your favorite playlist or catch up on a podcast with zero distractions. It's so effective that you might forget the outside world exists. And when you need to tune back in, the Transparency mode ensures you can hear what's happening around you without taking the headphones off.

One standout feature of the AirPods Max is their Spatial Audio capability. With dynamic head tracking and personalized sound tuning, these headphones make you feel like you're sitting in the middle of a recording studio or a movie theater. The sound isn't just great—it's immersive, enveloping, and pure Apple magic. With Dolby Atmos support, streaming your favorite shows or music becomes a next-level experience.

The AirPods Max have also been designed with comfort in mind. The knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions ensure a snug but cozy fit for hours of listening. Add to that the Digital Crown for precise control over playback and volume, and you've got a pair of headphones that feel as premium as they sound.

And here's the big news: Apple finally gave the AirPods Max a USB-C port. You can charge them with the same cable you use for your iPhone 15, iPad, or Mac. It's a small change but a massive convenience upgrade.

Whether you're an audiophile, a frequent traveler, or someone who values great sound and seamless connectivity, the AirPods Max are worth the hype — and at this price, they're worth every penny.
