Apple's AirPods Max 2 have dropped to $399 on Amazon, a full $150 off the regular $549 list price. The discount applies solely to the Starlight finish, making it the cheapest ever for the premium over‑ear headphones. Prime Day shoppers can claim the deal now, with free shipping slated for delivery around June 27. The promotion runs while supplies last, with limited Starlight stock.

Released earlier this year, the AirPods Max 2 improved battery life and added a new H2 chip, but its $549 price limited mainstream adoption. Discount retailers have periodically cut the cost, yet this $399 offer shaves $100 off the previous all‑time low. Deal hunters note Apple's push to dominate high‑end audio. The deal underscores Amazon’s aggressive pricing strategy during Prime Day to lure audiophiles.

Consumers who secure the Starlight pair receive free delivery and, in many metro areas, same‑day Prime shipping. While other colors remain undiscounted, the steep price cut could pressure competitors like Sony and Bose to revisit their own high‑end headphone pricing. Early buyers may see resale upside. For budget‑conscious listeners, the $399 AirPods Max 2 now represent a rare entry point into Apple’s premium audio ecosystem.
