Just in time for the holidays, Apple unveiled a new pair of headphones – the AirPods Max – and they are basically the AirPods in an over-ear design. The new noise-canceling headphones retail for a whopping $549 and are available in five different colors – grey, silver, green, blue, and pink. While the AirPods were a huge hit for Apple because they were tiny and wireless, over-ear headphones have been on the market for quite some time and have been made popular by brands including Beats and Bose.
Beats are one of the most popular headphone brands on the market and they retail around $200-$300 which is a lot less than the AirPods Max, and luckily, we rounded up five alternative options that are just as good as Apple and are less than a quarter of the price.
