If you love music but usually listen to it with earbuds, it might be time for an upgrade. Earbuds are convenient, sure — but they just can't deliver the same sound quality as a good pair of over-ear headphones. And right now, Best Buy has Apple Airpods Max on sale for $100 off, so it's a great time to buy.
Apple Airpods Max offers many of the same features you're probably familiar with from your Airpods: active noise canceling with transparency mode, fast and simple pairing with your Apple devices via Bluetooth, and Adaptive EQ that tailors the sound based on how the headphones fit your ears. But with their over-ear design, they offer much more in terms of comfort and sound quality than any earbud can.

For comfort, the headband is made from breathable knit mesh that distributes weight to reduce pressure on your head, and the Airpods Max's stainless steel frame is completely wrapped in soft materials, so it's strong but still flexible and comfortable to wear for hours.
Airpods Max also feature telescoping arms that extend smoothly but stay where you put them so your fit and seal are consistent. And each ear cup has a custom-designed mesh textile that wraps your ear in pillow-like softness to create a seal while avoiding pressure.
The high-fidelity audio and active noise canceling offer a listening experience with ultra-low distortion, so you hear everything you're listening to clearly. Apple's dynamic driver has a wide frequency range that delivers all the textures of every song, from deep, rich bass to crisp high notes.
And Airpods Max now come with Apple's H1 chip in each ear cup, which allows them to use computational audio and create a surround-sound-like experience — only it's just for you, in your headphones.
Apple Airpods Max are available in five colors, which you can see below. Enjoy their instant, one-tap pairing with Apple devices and up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. And for a limited time, you can get any color at Best Buy for $100 off, making this the perfect time to invest in a great pair of headphones.
