Apple’s new USB-C AirPods Max in Midnight, purple, and orange drop to $500 all-time low ($49 off)

I, for one, did not expect to see this deal today, but Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is ushering in the very first chance to save on on the brand new AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with USB-C at $499.99 shipped. Regularly $549, this set just debuted last month and is now already seeing a solid $49 price drop. This deal price is only live on the new Midnight, purple, and orange colorways. But you will want to keep in mind that the nearly identical original AirPods Max headphones are down at $395 shipped right now – the only difference between the two is the new USB-C port instead of the Lightning on the originals and the fresh paint jobs.

We saw a major deal on one of the best official 15W 3-in-1 MagSafe stands for Prime Day this past summer, but the Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe is now even more affordable for Prime Big Deal Days. One of our absolute favorite options, the regularly $150 Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe has now dropped to $106.49 shipped for the fall Prime Day event at Amazon and on the official Twelve South site. That’s a nearly unheard of 30% in savings, one of the very best deals we have ever tracked on one of the best MagSafe stands out there, and an offer that undercuts the summer Prime Day deal we featured at $125. Needless to say, this is a very good deal and one you don’t want to miss if you have your eye on one of these charging stands.
