Multiple outlets report steep discounts on Apple’s AirPods Max 2 on Amazon ahead of Prime Day, with the headphones priced as low as $399. The standard list price cited across coverage is $549, and several deals are described as record lows or near-record lows, depending on the specific price point and timing. Mashable and AppleInsider both highlight the move to $399, while other listings note prices around $449.

The coverage places the discounts in the context of Amazon’s Prime Day shopping window and related deal events. The Verge links the broader pattern to Best Buy’s “Black Friday in July” promotions aligning with Prime Day, while TechRadar and GameSpot frame the AirPods Max 2 drop as among the best available during the Prime Day period. Other outlets focus on the surrounding AirPods deals at Amazon, including price cuts for AirPods 4 models, which provides additional context for shoppers comparing options.

While the shared focus is the AirPods Max 2 price drop, outlet-to-outlet differences largely reflect whether they spotlight the $399 “lowest-ever” figure or a slightly higher $449 offer, as well as emphasis on Prime Day timing versus ongoing mid-summer promotions. All sources agree the deals are available through major retailers’ sale events and typically require Prime membership for Amazon offers.
