Gearing up for holiday travel? You're not alone. As one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, the airport is likely to feel a bit chaotic. Calm the nerves a bit by donning some excellent noise-cancelling headphones so you can tune into a chill soundtrack and ignore the commotion. If that sounds appealing, check out this deal at Best Buy.

As of Dec. 19, the Apple AirPods Max (lightning) are on sale at Best Buy for $399.99, down from the usual price of $549.99. That means you'll be saving $150 by scoring a 27% discount.

For those who like Apple products but don't love wearing earbuds, the Apple AirPods Max offer an over-the-ear fit with memory foam ear cushions. Impressively, they also get up to 20 hours of battery life which means these can be perfect for long travel days.

Keep in mind these are the original version so they're equipped with lightning charging capability, not the current USB-C charging method.

With active noise cancellation on, you'll be able to tune out surrounding noise from fellow travelers. But when needed, switch into transparency mode which allows you to hear and interact with the world. The AirPods Max also come with a carrying case which can be especially great for travel days.
