Apple AirPods Max: How to Buy

After many months of rumors, Apple officially announced the AirPods Max, its own over-the-ear, wireless noise-canceling headphones. These are the first noise canceling headphones with the Apple logo. They cost $ 549 and are available for pre-order now, with shipping scheduled for December 15.

Unlike the AirPods and AirPods Pro, the AirPods Max are available in multiple colors (dark gray, silver, blue, green and pink). They feature high fidelity audio, adaptive EQ, active noise cancellation and spatial audio. Apple says the headphones offer 20 hours of battery life with charging via Apple̵

7;s Lightning connector and not a USB-C cable. (No, there is no charging brick in the box.)

We’ll be reviewing the new wireless headphones shortly, but if you’d like to place an order in advance, the retailers that currently have product listings available are listed below. Currently only Apple has put them up for sale, but we expect Best Buy and other retailers to post offers soon and update this article when they do.
