SAVE $20: Amazon has the all-new Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones discounted to $529 (normally $549) during its Big Spring Sale.

That was fast: The new Apple AirPods Max 2 are already on sale. Thank Amazon, which is offering the deal amid its third annual Big Spring Sale.

The midnight and starlight variants are both marked down to $529, which is $20 off their normal retail price of $549. (Suffice to say, they've never been cheaper.) They were still stuck at full price at other major retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.

Apple surprise-announced the AirPods Max 2 last week, a small but long-awaited update to its supremely stylish over-ear headphones; they're set for release on April 1. We have yet to test them, but Apple promises that they offer better noise cancellation than the original AirPods Max, which it launched in 2020 and updated with USB-C charging in 2024.

The new AirPods Max 2 also support more smart features, including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Live Translation, Siri head gestures, and a camera remote. (If you have your camera app pulled up on a paired iPhone or iPad, pressing the AirPods Max 2's Digital Crown takes a picture.) They run on the H2 chip like the AirPods Pro 3.

This is the first-ever discount for the new AirPods Max 2 headphones, and you can only find this preorder offer at Amazon
