Apple unveiled new AirPods Max at its “Glowtime” event last week, but if you don’t care all that much about USB-C charging or the new colorways, you can actually get essentially the same headphones for much cheaper.
Enter: Best Buy’s deal of the day, which marks down refurbished AirPods Max in all available colorways to just $299.99. Typically, the retailer will offer these headphones refurbished for about $400, while new Maxes go for $549 at full price, and $394.99 at the absolute lowest price we’ve ever seen them. In other words, this is a really solid deal, and likely one of cheapest prices you can grab the AirPods Max for, but you’ll want to act quick — the sale ends when the day is up.

If you’re hesitant on buying this 2020 model when the new AirPods Max just came out, we have to reiterate that we weren’t exaggerating at the top of the article. The only differences with the “new” AirPods is that they have a USB-C charging port, and five new color ways. Performance-wise, they are the exact same headphones, with the same battery life, active noise cancellation, chipset, and design.
Usually, we don’t recommend these headphones because their cost-to-feature ratio isn’t competitive with other noise-cancelling over-ear headphones on the market. We don’t like that they come without an audio jack or a case, and that their battery life is middling for headphones that cost over half of a thousand dollars. However, at $300, these cons are much more stomachable, and the value much more present.
