AirPods deals have been everywhere as folks scramble to pick up holiday gifts for loved ones, but the biggest discount has been on Apple's premium over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max. Cyber Monday saw record-low pricing, and now Best Buy's latest holiday flash sale has brought back the huge $170 discount on Apple's premium, over-ear cans.
The deal applies to all five available colors, dropping them down to $380, but you only have until the weekend is over, or until supplies sell out, to score the deals. Get your order in soon if you don't want to miss out.
Apple's AirPods Max have active noise cancellation, which lets you tune out the world when you need to focus on work, calls or other important tasks. Transparency mode lets you listen to your favorite media while remaining aware of what's going on around you. You can also use features like personalized audio for sound that's customized to your ear shape, as well as dynamic head tracking that makes spatial audio feel like it's coming from all around you.

Why this deal matters
This matches the lowest price ever for Apple's AirPods Max, and with Christmas looming, now's the perfect time to snag a set to put under the tree.
Though these are the Lightning-equipped version, basically nothing but the charging connector changed when Apple introduced the USB-C version earlier this year, so you're not sacrificing much by going for the older model.
