If you’re looking to buy over-the-ear headphones for your Apple device, you might be eyeing the AirPods Max. We don’t blame you—it’s got “AirPods” right in the name. But it’s not the best pair of cans Apple makes. That distinction belongs to the Beats Studio Pro, which do nearly everything the AirPods Max do (other than on-ear detection), sound better, and cost less. And they offer a lot of other great features too, like 3.5mm and USB-C audio input and a real carrying case.
Normally $349, they’re already a better buy than the $549 AirPods Max. And they’re often on sale—but never for this low.
Right now, Amazon has the Beats Studio Pro for just $169, which is over 50 percent off the retail price and the lowest price we’ve ever seen. And Best Buy has the same deal, if you’d rather purchase from there. We don’t expect an update to the AirPods Max until late next year at the earliest—and they’re unlikely to be any cheaper—so if you want an excellent pair of noise-cancelling headphones, grab this deal right now.
