Amazon also has refurbished AirPods Max headphones for quite a big discount. Those who are a bit wary of buying used tech can rest assured that they won’t be able to tell the difference. Under Amazon’s Renewed program, everything inside the headphones has been professionally cleaned, fixed and tested to the point of functioning just like new. The Amazon Renewed Guarantee also promises a free replacement or refund within 90 days of of getting the headphones, which makes this among best AirPods deals in town on a refurbished model for the AirPods Max.
Should You Buy the AirPods Max?
Apple AirPods Max are incredible headphones. We won’t hesitate to recommend them. But there are two important factors to consider when you’re deciding if they’re right for you: Do you want over the ear headphones? And would you prefer a different brand?
You should also consider some other headphone brands. If you have an iPhone, none of the other options will connect quite as well, but there are other factors to consider. For instance, some of these brands have a long history of fantastic headphones. When comparing the AirPods Max vs. Sony WH-1000XM4 or 5, Sony retains its crown. The XM5s are the best headphones on the market, in our opinion. While their price point is the same, they don’t have that Apple feel, with the sleek design and the large buttons.
In the end it will come down to which style of headphone you prefer more, and whether or not you absolutely need to stick with Apple.
