The AirPods 4 (without noise cancellation) are down to $89.99 on Amazon, a rare dip from their usual $129. That’s also just 99 cents above their all-time low, according to price-trackers. Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds $89.99 at Amazon $129.00 Save $39.01 Get Deal Get Deal $89.99 at Amazon $129.00 Save $39.01 The design hasn’t changed much from the earlier AirPods, but Apple tweaked the fit so they sit more securely, and the sound is better than you’d expect from buds that don’t seal off your ear canal, notes this PCMag review. Speaking of, the open-ear design of these earbuds means you can still hear what’s going on around you, which is handy if you’re walking in the city but not so great if you want total immersion. That said, the sound itself is surprisingly full for this style—Apple’s 11mm drivers bring out a solid bass line without distorting, something older AirPods couldn’t really pull off. The trade-offs are clear, though: There’s no noise cancellation, no wireless charging, and you don’t get an EQ to fine-tune the audio. Those omissions will matter to some, less so to others.Day-to-day use is where these shine. The stems double as control strips with little haptic clicks when you press them, so you always know if you skipped a track or answered a call. Battery life runs about five hours per charge, with another 25 hours in the case, which is nothing groundbreaking but reliable enough. Both the buds and case are splash- and dust-resistant with an IP54 rating, and they slot right into iOS 18 without any setup headaches. For iPhone users who just want clean sound and an easy fit without shelling out for the pricier ANC model, this is worth considering. But if you want extras like noise cancellation or wireless charging, you’ll want to keep moving up the lineup.
