Recent reports suggest we probably won't see a new version of the AirPods Max this year, but many folks are predicting we will see the AirPods Pro 3 at Apple's iPhone 17 launch event this fall. Apple last updated its flagship AirPods Pro buds in 2022 and released two all-new versions of Apple's open earbuds -- the AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Canceling -- at last year's iPhone 16 event.

You likely shouldn’t hold your breath for a new pair of AirPods Max: report

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-29 08:56:08

AirPods Max have had a bit of a disappointing history. After much anticipation, they finally released at the tail end of 2020. Some fans were disappointed with the high price tag and rather heavy aluminum and steel design, and have been looking forward to a revamp ever since. Despite being refreshed last year, it was merely just a USB-C port swap and new colors. The headphones still lack in features compared to Apple’s newer AirPods Pro 2, and that likely won’t be changing. Per Mark Gurman’s P

Pick up Apple's AirPods Pro 2 while they're down to $169

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-08 08:05:36

They might be nearly three years old at this point, but Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro remain some of the most popular wireless earbuds around for a reason, and right now they’re down to $169 on Amazon. That’s a not-insignificant 32 percent off the usual $249 price of the noise-canceling in-ears. Apple’s flagship AirPods were $100 off — a record-low $149 — during Prime Day, so we have seen them even cheaper than this, but for a non-sale period, Amazon’s current deal is worth considering.
