Apple deals are always worth a gander, and this one is just in time for Father’s Day! Right now, you can purchase the Apple AirPods Max from Best Buy for $450. That’s a $100 markdown from the headsets’ $550 retail, and we seldom see these cans on sale. If you’ve been looking for headphone deals, this is one of the best you’re going to find.

Why you should buy the AirPods Max

Available in five different colors, the AirPods Max are some of the best noise cancelling headphones we’ve ever tested. These sleek-looking place as much importance on cosmetics as they do performance. With memory foam cushioning on the earcups and a padded headband, you’ll be able to wear the Max for long periods of time without discomfort setting in. If you love listening to music and podcasts throughout the entire workday, Apple has got you covered.

Speaking of which: The Max’s ANC deliverables are absolutely insane! Whether you’re trying to block out office chatter, airplane noise, or NYC traffic, the AirPods Max are designed to hone in and cancel out the unwanted sounds all around you. But you can just as easily tap into the world-class transparency mode, which amplifies the sounds within your listening space.

Battery wise, you’ll be able to get around 20 hours of playback with ANC and Spatial Audio enabled. And just five minutes of charging will add an extra 1.5 listening hours to the AirPods Max! The included Smart Case is a godsend for traveling, offering both protection and recharging for the headphones.

We mentioned Spatial Audio. That’s Apple’s head-tracking tech, and the AirPods Max is one of the best ways to experience it. You’ll need an iPhone or iPad, and an app that supports spatial audio functions, but it’s well worth the immersive experience. Spatial audio makes you feel like your music is surrounding you, and as you turn your head, the tones adjust.

We’ve rarely seen the AirPods Max on sale, so this $100 discount isn’t a deal to put off. And if that $450 price is still too much, you should check out some of the other AirPods deals we’ve been digging up!

Trying to watch TV without disturbing anyone else in your household can be tricky. Whether you're trying to avoid waking a sleeping partner or little one or just looking to grab a quiet moment to yourself, you end up worrying more about the volume than enjoying whatever you're watching. We've all been there, and thankfully, there’s a simple solution that music lovers have long embraced: headphones. They are your secret weapon for immersive audio without disturbing the world around you.

Using headphones with your TV is now easier than ever. Most modern smart TVs and gaming consoles are equipped with Bluetooth, allowing for a seamless wireless connection. In addition, most streaming devices support Bluetooth headphone connections as well.

We'll never stop recommending the Sony WH-1000XM5 to anybody looking for headphone deals, especially now that they're on sale from Best Buy. From $400, the wireless headphones are down to $330, for savings of $70. They're an excellent purchase that will provide even more value at this lowered price, but you have to hurry because this offer will surely attract a lot of attention. Complete your purchase before the available stocks run out, which can happen at any moment.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones
We described the Sony WH-1000XM5 as "the best headphones, period" in our list of the best headphones, and we gave them a perfect 5 out of 5 stars in our review. We didn't think that the Sony WH-1000XM4 can get any better, but our Sony WH-1000XM5 versus Sony WH-1000XM4 comparison reveals that the latest model of the wireless headphones raises the bar even further with sleeker lines, lighter weight, a more comfortable fit with synthetic leather, superior active noise cancellation, and overall better sound and call quality.

Don’t miss this chance to get the Apple AirPods 3 for $99

Apple AirPods 3 in their case..

Apple fans who are on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals probably have their sights set on AirPods. If you don't mind getting an older model, you can currently buy the Apple AirPods 3 for a very affordable $99 from Walmart, following a $70 discount on their sticker price of $169. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this offer, but with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, we don't think the limited stocks for these wireless earbuds will last long. Proceed with your purchase now if you don't want to miss this bargain.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods 3
While the Apple AirPods 4 was released last year, alongside the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, we still highly recommend the Apple AirPods 3, especially at this discounted price. The wireless earbuds are more than three years old, but their sound quality remains impressive, and they also support personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience when listening to compatible content. The Apple AirPods 3 also come with the line's trademark ease of pairing with an iPhone -- just place them near your device, open their charging case, and tap the onscreen instructions to pair them.
