The Latest Apple AirPods 4 Just Took a $40 Nosedive, Cheaper Than Its Black Friday and Cyber Monday Price
Here’s a Cyber Week Friday shocker we absolutely did not see coming: Amazon is offering the brand-new Apple AirPods 4 for just $139. You didn’t misread that — not the AirPods 2nd Gen or even 3rd Gen — these are the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio, Transparency Mode, Personalized Spatial Audio, and the new-to-Apple USB-C charging, and they’re 22% down from their release price of $179.
Apple’s notoriously precious about putting their wares on sale to begin with, and seeing one of their brand-new best-sellers like the AirPods 4 suddenly take a deep dive to the sub-$140 price point is a legitimate shocker — and it’s also a deal not to be missed. Normally to find a price this low on AirPods you need to skip back a generation or even two, but until Amazon pulls this stunning sale, you can score the redesigned, revamped, most up-to-date AirPods on the market for a relative song.
Fully Redesigned
This version of the AirPods 4 comes with Active Noise Cancellation for the most immersive AirPods listening experience yet, but the biggest and most exciting upgrade to the AirPods 4 is the powerful new H2 chip processor. This breakthrough innovation creates clearer calls with Voice Isolation, new hands-free Siri interactions, Adaptive Audio that intelligently tailors the noise control to whatever environment youre in, Transparency Mode for safety and the ability to not be completely oblivious to the world around you, and the brand-new Conversation Awareness that automatically lowers the volume of whatever you’re listening to when you speak to someone nearby, and automatically restores it as soon as you’re done.
The new AirPods 4 are also more comfortable than any previous iteration of the ultra-popular wireless earbuds, and sit in your ear more securely than ever before. The newly contoured design and shorter stems are a big improvement, and the quick-press controls for music or calls are more intuitive.
New, Better Charging
The AirPods 4 are part of the new wave of Apple devices that have made the switch from Lighting to USB-C charging, which is far more universally used and therefore more accessible. In another exciting first, the AirPods 4 can charge wirelessly with an Apple Watch charger, along with other Qi-certified charging devices. That full charge for your AirPods 4 and their charging case can give you up to 30 hours ot total listening time, and up to 5 hours with the AirPods alone (4 hours with Active Noise Cancellation engaged) before they need to return to the charging case for a rapid refill.
It’s hard to overstate how unusual it is to see a brand-new top-selling Apple device that’s only been on the market for less than 100 days show up on Amazon at a dramatically lower price, but we’ve triple-checked and this $139 price (22% off) on the AirPods 4 is, in fact, really happening. Don’t waste time pinching yourself to see if you’re dreaming — run to Amazon now before they change their minds.
