SAVE $169.01: As of Dec. 12, the Apple AirPods Max (Lightning) are on sale for $379.99 at Best Buy. That's a 31% discount on their $549 list price and an all-time low price. The deal is exclusive to paid My Best Buy members until Friday, Dec. 13.

There are still some great deals available at different retailers after Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale events. If you're looking to pick up some Apple devices ahead of the holidays, look no further than Best Buy. As the tech retailer wraps up an Apple Shopping Event this week, it's offering an incredible deal on the Apple AirPods Max headphones as one of its latest holiday doorbusters.

The space gray AirPods Max with Lightning charging are currently discounted to $379.99, or over 30% off their retail price of $549 — a match of their record low from Cyber Monday. Paid My Best Buy members (Plus or Total) get early access to the deal straight away, and non-members can add it to their carts starting Friday, Dec. 13.

This is a fantastic discount on such high-quality headphones, and even comes with a couple of bonus offers: three months of Apple Fitness+ for free and up to three months of Apple Music for free.

From a comfortable fit to excellent noise cancelation, these headphones are great for audiophiles wanting something reliable to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks on. In our AirPods Max review, writer Brenda Stolyar said, "When it comes down to it, the AirPods Max check off almost all the boxes for what makes an excellent pair of headphones: great sound quality, ideal battery life, easy controls, and a stylish design (sans Smart Case)."

Best Buy's AirPods Max deal will be available in limited quantities at least through Dec. 13, but other deals from its Apple Shopping Event are set to expire on Thursday, Dec. 12. That includes $70 off an iPad and $80 off the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with cellular connectivity.

Editor's note: This story has been updated add details about Best Buy's additional members-only discount.
