This is actually the cheapest price ever for this pair of headphones.

Apple launched the AirPods Max in December 2020.

They’re the most expensive entry to the AirPods range – Apple’s line of wireless headphones.

And it’s the only model that goes over your ears instead of inside them.

They’ve got premium features like hi-fi audio, adaptive equalising, active noise-cancellation, and “spatial” audio.

You get cushioned ear cups that attach to the headband with a new system that lets them pivot to your head contours.

And they’re designed to create a seal with your ear for immersive sound.

There’s an Apple Watch-style Digital Crown on the side for volume control – as well as playing, pausing, skipping tracks, answering and ending phones calls, and for activating Siri.

The headband frame is built from stainless steel, and should fit most head shapes and sizes.

Its arms telescope too, so even the most big-headed audiophiles needn’t worry.

Apple has fitted the AirPods Max with a 40mm custom driver for “rich, deep bass, accurate mid-ranges, and crisp, clean high-frequency extension”.

Most headphone makers will offer up similar claims, so we’ll need to wait for a review model to see if the AirPods Max are up to snuff.

There’s a custom dual neodymium ring-magnet motor for minimising distortion.

And each cup has an Apple H1 chip built in for delivering the best-quality audio at any given time – using computational trickery.

Apple says you’ll get around 20 hours of hi-fi audio, talk time or movie playback listening per charge.

If you’re an iPhone fan, this is a great accessory.
