I like Apple stuff but this item is just to expensive I went out and bought the Beats Studio pro for $100’s less and it has similar specs and works well with my iPhone!

Perfect. BestBuy Total Tech = free AppleCare for 2 years.
[LIST=1]
* $399 price match to Amazon
* $95 gift certificate (points I made when I purchased my iPhone 17 Pro in September)
* $130 trade-in on my 2020 AirPods Max that were out of warranty, had a weak battery and were exhibiting crackling sounds when ANC was enabled
* I'm in NH so no sales tax


$174 out the door to upgrade to the newest and I can celebrate because I got rid of my last Lightning device!!! Can finally ditch that cable and have USB-C on everything.

Upgrading from Sky Blue to Orange color.

I know there aren't any other new features but I got 5 years out of my first kit that I paid $499 for. This was the price I was waiting for.

I own a pair of airpods max and totally agree. They look cool and feel nice and all (if a bit heavy) but they aren't "last forever" headphones, they're "last about 2 years before the ribbon in the joints break" headphones. So I don't think they're a good value at all. Not even a "passable value" IMHO.

If you have a huge disposable income where you can impulsively spend $400-500 without flinching, sure! Have at it! I think the product people at Apple fall into this bucket and this is why they keep making stuff like $700 mac pro wheels and $1000 display stands. I remember when they advertised $400 iPods as "stocking stuffers" like as if they'd randomly hand their gardener a $400 ipod for christmas lol.

Also, I think if you're a big Apple fan and love Apple everything, you won't be disappointed. Ultimately the airpods max sound pretty good, transparency mode is really cool, and they connect as nicely as the other airpods do. They feel just like any other apple product in terms of packaging and build quality and materials.
