Save 45%: For Sept. 16 only, you can grab refurbished AirPods Max from Best Buy for just $299.99. Compared to the headphones' full price of $549 brand new, you'll save $249.01.

The AirPods Max may be nearly four years old, but they’re still a great pair of noise-canceling headphones if you’re deep in Apple’s ecosystem and appreciate some exceptional (although, heavy) build quality.

The AirPods Pro 2 share a family resemblance with the rest of Apple's earphones but vary in a few small but significant ways. Of course, they sport Apple's iconic, glossy, and hard-to-grip white plastic exterior.

Unlike its AirPods brethren, the AirPods Max is a more traditional style over-ear headphone. If you're not a fan of earbuds that go in your ear, then over-ear headphones are definitely going to be a better fit for you.

The base AirPods, tagged the AirPods 3rd Generation, were launched in 2021, and the more premium option, the AirPods Pro 2, were first released in 2022. I reviewed both models when they came out, and I still use both on a daily basis.

Score a pair of Apple AirPods (3rd gen) for just $129.99. That's a $40 discount and only $10 away from the all-time lowest price.
