October Prime Day has officially started, and one of our most-hoped-for deals is finally live. The new Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones were just released on Sept. 20, but for October Prime Day, they get their first price drop. Amazon just discounted these stylish headphones as part of the Prime Big Deal Days, and we expect this deal to go fast. Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days run over Oct. 8 and 9, meaning these headphones are just one of many bargains.

The new Apple AirPods Max with USB-C are currently discounted to $499.99, which gives you a 9% savings of $49.01. The original AirPods Max with Lightning port are also on sale, and close to their lowest-ever price at $394.99. Both versions have a full retail price of $549.

Other than the USB-C port, these AirPods Max offer all the same features as the regular edition as well as improved active noise cancellation. They’re powered by Apple’s H1 chip for superior audio quality, as well as impressive ANC and personalized spatial audio. Not only that, they’re among the slickest, most stylish over-ear headphones ever made, especially now that they come in five cool new colorways.

Again, don’t miss your chance to upgrade to the Apple AirPods Max on October Prime Day. As of this writing, mere hours after the start of Prime Day, select colors of the AirPods Max 2 are already back to full price.
