After seeing AirPods Pro 2 hit the all-time low very early this morning, Apple’s new USB-C AirPods Max are now getting in on the Amazon Black Friday Week deals. While you will find select colors of the original AirPods Max with Lightning starting from *$429* right now, the newer USB-C variants are now marked down to $499.99 shipped today. Regularly $549, that’s $49 off the going rate on all five of Apple’s new colorways: Midnight, Starlight, blue, orange, and purple. This is within a couple bucks of the lowest we have tracked outside of the orange model that had a short stint down at $487.
