Apple released a new version of its premium over-the-ear headphones, AirPods Max, on Monday during its 2024 Apple Event. The revamp replaces the AirPods Max's lightning port with a USB-C port, and comes in five new colors: midnight,

Apple is finally transitioning away from the Lightning port with its just-revealed refresh of the AirPods Max: new colors, and a new USB-C charging port.

A new model has been rumored for a few years. However, Apple is only tweaking the original AirPods Max model during the iPhone 16 event.

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 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.

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 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.
