The ear cushions are available in all of the AirPods Max colors - silver, black, red, sky blue, and green - and are priced at $69. AirPods Max ear cushions attach to the ear cups magnetically and can be popped right off, so making a swap to a new color is simple.

When the AirPods Max launched, MacRumors mocked up all of the AirPods Max color combinations, so if you're wondering how a particular color might look with your AirPods Max, our color combos are worth checking out.

Apple's online store has listed the AirPods Max ear cushions since the AirPods Max launched, but until today, the cushions were not available for purchase. The store listing still says "coming soon," but the ear cushions are available. Ear cushion orders placed today will deliver for free on Monday, February 1, and Apple Store pickup is not yet available.
