In terms of pricing, the original AirPods Max remained stubbornly high even years after their debut, which made them hard to recommend over the Bose QC Ultra or Sony’s XM series headphones unless you were an Apple die-hard. The AirPods Max 2, however, have been out for just over a month, and we’re already seeing a $40 discount at Amazon and Best Buy, bringing the price down to $509 across all five colors.
