This is your sign to upgrade your earbuds: Apple AirPods 4 are on sale for $100. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen since their September release. The new design features the same lightweight feel, easy setup and seamless connection to Apple devices as previous generations, but with better audio quality and a more comfortable fit. Just keep in mind that this Apple AirPods 4 deal only applies to the base model, which doesn’t have active noise cancellation. (If you want that, you can still save 17% on the upgraded version).
If you’ve been meaning to invest in a basic pair of AirPods—or maybe you want some backup earbuds to keep in your bag—now’s a good time to add the AirPods 4 to your cart. At $100, they’re currently cheaper than the older AirPods 2 ($150) and AirPods Pro 2 ($169). Getting Apple’s latest earbud technology for only $100 is a great deal. The AirPods 4 have Personalized Spatial Audio, which creates an immersive, theater-like listening experience, and offer voice isolation to reduce background sounds during calls. Like previous versions, they offer up to five hours of playtime per charge and are sweat-, dust- and water-resistant.
For those who are willing to spend a little more, consider opting for the noise-cancelling version of the headphones, which are currently on sale for $148. They’re our tech & electronics editor Rebecca Isaacs’s pick for the best Apple wireless earbuds. “One of my biggest surprises during testing was just how good the audio quality is despite the modest price tag,” she says. Full disclosure: This version went on sale for $139 in December, but $148 is the lowest we’ve seen them drop so far this year.
