The AirPods Max are easily among the best-sounding high-end Bluetooth headphones you can buy. We even reviewed them a while back, giving them 4/5 stars. The main reason they didn’t get more stars was the price, as we believe they are wildly expensive.
This refurbished pair, however, can end up saving you over $200. This pair in blue spotted at Target is a mere $335.74, which is a much more acceptable price point. Target says they are “a fully functional product that may show some minor cosmetic blemishes” and come with a six-month warranty.
A new pair of Apple AirPods Max headphones cost $549, which is a bit too much. At its lowest on Black Friday, the AirPods Max got down to $429, but even that’s pretty expensive. The only way to get these headphones for a decent price is, it seems, to get a refurbished model.
What sets these headphones apart? Our expert, Jason Cross, found that the AirPods Max deliver exceptional sound quality, boast “industry-leading” active noise canceling, and are built to last. These features make them a top contender in the headphone market.
The AirPods are comfortable to wear for long hours and easy to control. Our review notes that Apple avoided touch controls (everyone with a hoodie rejoice!), opting instead for a digital crown like that on the Apple Watch along with a single button, both on the top of the right earpiece.
While we know it’s ideal to get your tech brand new, sometimes it’s worth going for refurbished options to save a lot of money. These discounted AirPods Max are Target Certified Refurbished, which means they’ve been brought to a “like-new” condition. While some minor cosmetic blemishes may be present, the headphones function normally.
So go ahead and grab the cheapest AirPods Max we’ve ever seen.
