FAQ

How much do AirPods Max drop on Black Friday?

New AirPods Max typically fall to $449 to $479 on Black Friday, about $70 to $100 off. Certified pre-owned at Plug starts at $399.99 with the 12-Month Plug Warranty, a 90+ Point Inspection and a 30-Day Love It or Return It policy, which no new-in-box deal matches.

Are refurbished AirPods Max worth it?

Yes, when they are certified. Plug's AirPods Max are cleaned, fitted with fresh ear cushions where needed, tested for battery and noise cancelling, graded honestly on cosmetics and backed by the 12-Month Plug Warranty. You get Apple's best headphones at a price that makes sense.

Lightning or USB-C AirPods Max?

The USB-C AirPods Max add lossless audio over a cable and share a charger with the iPhone 15 and later; the Lightning version sounds identical over Bluetooth and costs less. At Plug both are certified pre-owned with the 12-Month Plug Warranty; choose by your cable drawer.

Do Plug AirPods Max come with the Smart Case?

Yes. Every pair of AirPods Max Plug sells ships with the Smart Case and a charging cable, tested for charge and Bluetooth pairing. Open them near your iPhone to pair; the 12-Month Plug Warranty covers the headphones. Prices move with stock, so the collection is the live source.

Will AirPods Max sell out on Black Friday?

Usually, at Plug, yes. AirPods Max are a small collection and the popular colors go first, so if the color you want is in stock, buy it. Cyber Monday, November 30, brings a restock, but not always in every color.

What is Plug's holiday return policy?

Plug is extending returns for the holidays: orders placed from October 30 through December 15, 2026 can be returned by January 15, 2027, so gifts can be opened, tried and returned after the holidays. Orders placed after December 15 follow the standard 30-day return window. Every device also keeps its 12-Month Plug Warranty. See the return policy for details.
