It’s still possible to get AirPods Max in time for Christmas — if you hurry up and order them soon. Some retailers are offering the silver and space gray models with shipping by December 15.

Here’s where you can bag yours.

AirPods Max sold out incredibly quickly after they were introduced by Apple on Tuesday. They’re so hot right now that some are already being listed on eBay for a lot more than they’re actually worth.

But don’t pay over the odds to get yours early. Order from Best Buy or Target today and you’ll get AirPods Max ahead of the holidays.

Unsurprisingly, all of the fancier color options are sold out everywhere, so it’s highly unlikely you’ll get those ahead of the holidays. But if you don’t mind your AirPods Max in silver or space gray, you’re in luck.

Follow the links below to order yours from Best Buy or Target with shipping by December 15:

Both retailers are charging the standard $549. For that, you get active noise cancellation, Apple’s newest H1 chip with support for “Hey Siri,” and up to 20 hours of battery life. AirPods Max also ship with a Smart Case that puts the headphones in ultra-low power mode to conserve energy when you’re using them.

We expect these to sell out quickly, too (shipping times for all color options have now slipped on the Apple Online Store), so act quickly to avoid disappointment.
