Good news for anyone tempted by the Apple AirPods Max but are put off by their huge $549 asking price: the noise-cancelling headphones have gone on sale, mere days after launch.

Authorized Apple retailer TigerDirect has the AirPods Max for $500 (opens in new tab), a savings of $49. There’s an $8 delivery fee, but this is still a solid Christmas sale for Apple's brand new headphones.

At the time of writing, both the green and pink colors are sold out, but TigerDirect will order more stock to accommodate new orders coming in. If you’re holding out for the silver, black or blue finishes, keep an eye on our Where to buy AirPods Max guide, where we’ll be adding new deals once they appear.

Our AirPods Max review is in the works but by all accounts the AirPods Max are a great-sounding pair of headphones, with effective active noise cancellation and  spatial audio support for 3D-like sound. Most early reviewers agree they’re very expensive, especially next to rival headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM4, but this discount should help.

Stay tuned for hopefully more AirPods Max deals, and to see whether they can make it into our list of the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy.
