AirPods Max 2 is out? It’s the best time to get AirPods Max 1 at a massive discount!

The AirPods Max are probably the Apple product that gets the slowest updates. Why? Well, when you nail the drivers and the adaptive sound behind them, there isn’t that much to improve, right? There’s no screen to fit more pixels into, or a processor to improve with more raw power. They just… sound good already!

And yes, the AirPods Max 2 did just come out in April, with a number of nice-to-have, but not essential upgrades.

Which is why now’s the best time to buy OG AirPods Max

And this is coming from someone who still uses the first edition AirPods Max, released in 2020, with their Lightning port and all. They still work predictably and effortlessly. Put them on — bang, the iPad sound starts coming in through the cans. Play something on the Mac — the sound source instantly jumps over.

And they sound dependably, predictable, politely good across the board. Some audiophiles scoff at them because Apple went the “safe” way, with a V-shaped EQ and a meaty bass. You could say they lack grit, or character, or risk.

But what you can not say is that they sound bad. The frequencies are carefully carved and polished to make sure no matter what genre you play through them, there are no ice picky highs or nasally mids, the sub-bass is well separated so there’s no mud, and the active noise cancelation is still out of this world, while the transparency mode sounds incredibly realistic.
