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

Quote from Sabachthani :
I got 8,750 PayPal cash back points which translates to $87.50 cash back. Inferno1 is correct it's based on 20% of $400 + tax.
Did not work for me, I went and signed up on the PayPal Site and went to check out using the PayPal credit and it was only offering me $40 off (not 20%). At 20% with no sales tax, and the $5 credit that BB sent me, it would have been one heck of a deal. I don't really need them, but wanted a set for a while, would have pulled the trigger.

Quote from lausai :
how are these compared to sony and bose higher end models?
I bought these yesterday, picked them up today. I also have the Bose (model # 884367-0500). The Airpods Max is MUCH heavier and, at max extension, fits smaller. The Bose is definitely more comfortable. Their noice cancellation are comparable. Their audio quality are comparable (but I'm no audiophile). Only buy this if you really like how they look (this is why I bought it). If you are getting these for the Apple ecosystem, I'd recommend the Airpods Pros (2 or 3).

It has much bigger sound stage than Sony XM5. I have both. I wear APM at home and use Sony for travel. If I could only keep one, I would keep Sony.

The PayPal 20% reward applies for both options in PayPal Later, btw. It's not just the Pay in 4 option. You can activate it here: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/...ry=top_nav

> "Eligible Purchase(s)": Eligible Purchases are purchases made using either Pay in 4 or Pay Monthly that are completed during the Offer Period by an Eligible Participant who has saved the Offer and has not previously received the benefit of the offer.
