As an avid AirPods Max user, I can only recommend these premium over-ear headphones – they look great and sound even better. The only issue is that they are rather expensive. Well, not anymore! The USB-C version is at its lowest-ever price on Amazon ahead of the big shopping event next week.

To clarify, these aren't the latest AirPods Max 2 but the previous version, which, to be fair, is very similar to the new cans. Those added better noise cancellation and somewhat better sound, but between you and me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ANC and sonic quality of the USB-C AirPods Max.

The Apple AirPods Max USB-C retains the same distinctive design as its predecessor (and successor), featuring anodised aluminium ear cups, a stainless steel frame and a breathable knit mesh canopy that helps distribute weight more evenly across the head.

It utilises the company's H1 chip, enabling features such as Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Transparency mode and Adaptive EQ. ANC continuously monitors external sounds and works to reduce unwanted noise, while Transparency mode lets you hear your surroundings without removing the headphones.

The USB-C AirPods Max also support Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, creating a more immersive listening experience when watching films or listening to compatible music. Apple has additionally enabled lossless audio and ultra-low-latency audio over a wired USB-C connection, making the headphones a stronger option for music enthusiasts and content creators.

Battery life is rated at up to 20 hours with Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio enabled. Other highlights include automatic device switching, Find My support, voice control via Siri, and effortless pairing with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
