Noise-canceling headphones and earbuds are one of the best ways to indulge in your favorite tunes while tuning out the outside world. We’ve had the opportunity to review many different noise-canceling audio wearables over the years and we often think fondly of our time spent with the original Apple AirPods Max. These puppies are still sold brand-new, but the $550 MSRP has acted as quite a deterrent for some time. But not today:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning at Best Buy, you’ll only pay $400. We tested these headphones a few years ago and reviewer Caleb Denison said: “The AirPods Max are exquisitely crafted headphones, built for Apple lovers.”

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning

Available in Space Gray, Sky Blue, Green, Pink, and Silver colorways, the AirPods Max are a thing of beauty. These modern and sleek-looking headphones boast an aluminum frame with premium padding for the ear cups, ensuring comfortable listening for hours on end. Designed to last up to 20 hours on a full charge, when your battery is depleted, just five minutes of recharging will net you an extra 1.5 hours of playback!

The AirPods Max are also equipped with Apple’s H1 chip, making it easy to seamlessly switch between all of your Apple devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID. You can also expect phenomenal ANC performance and terrific sound quality, thanks in part to Apple’s Adaptive EQ tech, which automatically adjusts sound based on how well the headphones fit your ears.

We’re not sure how long this discount is going to stick around, but if you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to score a premium pair of headphones that are on sale, today is the day! Take $150 off the Apple AirPods Max with Lightning when you purchase at Best Buy.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
