One of the standout bargains during this ongoing Prime Day event has been on Apple’s latest flagship headphones. The AirPods Max 2 remain available at a steep $150 discount, bringing the price down to $399 at Walmart, even after selling out at Amazon.
Given that the Amazon promotion has ended and Walmart is already out of stock on one of the Max 2’s five color options, this deal appears to be winding down. At $399, the AirPods Max 2 are still a significant investment, but it’s a far more reasonable price for premium over-ear headphones. The sequel looks nearly identical to the original, yet it delivers improved sound quality and upgraded internal components. Apple’s active noise cancellation now competes directly with top-tier offerings from Sony and Bose. The compromises include the high price tag (especially when compared to competing models also on sale), the heavy build that can lead to listening fatigue, the absence of a proper power button, and the unusual “case” that offers minimal protection.
Despite these drawbacks, the AirPods Max 2 remain a high-quality headphone option with distinctive styling and a range of colors. If the clamping force and weight suit your preferences, you will enjoy clear, detailed audio that avoids muddy bass, allowing you to actually hear low-end tones. They also include some of Apple’s latest software features, such as adaptive audio, conversation awareness, and live translation.
The previous-generation AirPods Max (both the Lightning and USB-C versions) occasionally saw attractive discounts, but they seldom reached this level of savings.
