There are plenty of wireless earbuds to pick from. But one of my top recommendations is AirPods 4 – offering top-tier features for an excellent value price. And thanks to this Amazon deal, they’re even cheaper than ever at $99 – falling under $100 for the first time.
The 4th-gen AirPods finally have some of the top features from AirPods Pro, making Apple’s cheaper buds more enticing than ever, with two models to pick from. And thanks to this deal, they’re down to $99 on Amazon – a tasty 23% saving from the regular price. Note that’s for the version without noise cancellation. If you want noise cancellation, the pricier model is discounted by 17% on Amazon – now at $149. Unfortunately, those in the UK miss out on this deal.
You’ll notice the new AirPods 4 look more like the Pros than ever. Apple reckons they’re the most comfortable ever, and fit more people than ever, thanks to a design tweak that reshapes the buds part.
The most significant upgrade is that Apple’s base-level AirPods now come with an active noise cancellation option. Previously exclusive to the Pros, you can now tune out noise from AirPods (4th-gen) – if you stump up the extra cash, that is. Transparency Mode is also on the new buds, but more premium features like automatic switching is reserved for the Pros.Play
Turning our attention to the case, AirPods (4th-gen) now support wireless charging and include compatibility with the Find My network. There’s also a speaker on the case, to play a chime if you misplace your buds. There’s no lanyard hole on this case, which I can’t say is a huge miss, since I’ve never used it on my AirPods Pro 2. Apple reckons you’ll get 30 hours of battery from these buds.
