Best Buy may have just squashed our four-year-old beef with Apple's over-ear headphones.

The 2020 AirPods Max with Lightning charging are on sale for $379.99 during the tech retailer's Cyber Monday sale, which is live online, in stores, and on its mobile app through 12:59 a.m. ET tonight. That's a 31% discount on the premium cans' usual retail price of $549 and a new record low. (Note that it only applies to the space gray variant; all of the other colors are $399.99.)

Amazon briefly matched Best Buy's deal earlier this afternoon, but it was sold out at the time of writing. Elsewhere, the AirPods Max are stuck at $399 at Target.

That sky-high MSRP is the main reason why the AirPods Max have stayed off Mashable's guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones, but as things currently stand, they feel way easier to recommend. Former Tech Reporter Brenda Stoylar rated them a 4.25/5 for their "excellent audio quality, easy-to-use controls, and good battery life" despite the fact that they weren't super comfortable for her to wear for hours at a time. Glasses-wearers and those with small heads might have the same problem; if you or a giftee wind up needing to return them, you've got until Jan. 14, 2025 under Best Buy's extended holiday return policy.

This year's updated AirPods Max with USB-C charging are also on sale this Cyber Monday, but they'll cost you an extra $120 compared to the Lightning version. On a totally unrelated note, Apple's USB-C to Lightning adapter costs $29.99.
