The AirPods Max 2 are down to their second-best price

A great price if you missed out on the $150 off Prime Day sale. Logitech’s haptics-based gaming mouse is also discounted.

There are a ton of deals available to shop today thanks to Best Buy’s “Black Friday in July” sale lasting all week. The sale typically aligns closely with Prime Day each year, but of course, Amazon’s shopping holiday happened much earlier than we expected. So it’s nice to have some deals in July.
One of example of a great deal is Apple’s AirPods Max 2 , which are down to $449 at Amazon and Best Buy , $100 off their usual price. It’s only the second time they’ve been discounted. Prime Day knocked them all the way down to $399.99, but today’s price isn’t bad at all if you missed out last month. They’re available at this price in every color.


Apple AirPods Max (second-gen)
Our review called the Max 2 a “great sequel, but not an ambitious one.” In short, not much has changed, especially in terms of design. There are some internal improvements that might make it worth it for those who have the original iteration (especially if you have the model with the Lightning connector). The Max 2 features USB-C connectivity like the 2024 revision, but has a built-in amp that delivers incredible sound that edges out the competition, not to mention the H2 wireless chip that enables features like live translation, adaptive audio, and conversation awareness.
