The Details

• The Hardware Upgrade: This is the modernized USB-C model, meaning you can finally ditch your outdated Lightning cables and power up your headphones using the exact same universal chord that juices your modern MacBook, iPad or iPhone.
• The Acoustic Architecture: Led by dual Apple-designed H1 chips (one in each ear cup), the headphones utilize computational audio to run industry-leading Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), adaptive Transparency mode and personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking that allows you to experience a full theater setup.
• The Premium Materials: Apple has engineered the frame with a polished stainless steel headband wrapped in a breathable knit mesh canopy designed to distribute weight evenly. This means the acoustic-engineered memory foam ear cushions are covered in a custom textile fabric that provides an absolute seal for maximum sound isolation while remaining incredibly comfortable for cross-country flights or long studio sessions.

When Does This AirPods Max Sale End?

This promotional $100 discount is a core part of Best Buy’s official 2026 Memorial Day Sales Event, which is scheduled to conclude tonight, Monday, May 25, 2026, at 11:59 PM CST. Amazon has currently matched the promotional pricing on select colorways, but inventory for the most highly coveted subculture tones—specifically Space Gray and Silver—is clearing out rapidly across tier-one warehouses.

The Bottom Line

If you’ve been waiting for the right financial window to upgrade your personal daily uniform, securing the universal USB-C model at a flat $100 off before the holiday clock runs out is an absolute no-brainer infrastructure play.
