I checked and you can use PayPal Pay Later, so with the PayPal 20% deal, this could be another 20% off!

Community Reviews

Apple AirPods Max are premium over ear headphones best known for strong sound, effective noise cancellation, and Apple ecosystem convenience. The soundstage is described as wider than AirPods Pro and Sony XM5, with deeper bass and comparable noise cancellation to Bose. The aluminum build and smart case feel premium, and the PayPal Pay Later offer can stack into meaningful savings when activated correctly. The main drawbacks are the heavy weight, smaller fit at full extension, Lightning charging, and a price that still feels high versus Sony and Bose alternatives. A polished pick if the design and Apple integration matter most.

You have to "activate" the offer on PayPal first. Points will show pending about 24-48 hours after first payment from my experience.

Tempting but I still have the old version that I bought from Best Buy when they were doing refurbs for $250. Not enough difference to upgrade. Still, solid price

Agree. Its my one lightening port device but if that's the only difference its not enough to justify. Maybe sub $200 range even refurbed or used

Did they just pull the listing?

Edit. Nvm - they updated the system and took away the used options.

Exactly, which is why this deal is better than Amazon even if they match the price (which they most likely will in the next couple of hours—I've noticed that major retailers' prices move together).

Is this "Pay Later"? It asks me to "Agree and Apply" for a loan. Will this impact my credit? Thank you!

Isn't it 20% off $400 so $80 off?
