Apple’s new AirPods 4 (with ANC) are on sale for under $150

SAVE $30: As of March 10, Apple AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation) are on sale for $148.99 at Amazon, down from $179. That’s a 17% discount on Apple’s latest earbuds.

Apple’s new AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are already on sale at Amazon for $148.99, and considering how rarely Apple products get discounted, this is one to take seriously. These aren’t just a small upgrade over the last model either. Apple actually redesigned them for better comfort, sound, and battery life. If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to swap out your old AirPods, here it is.

Let’s start with what makes these different. The Active Noise Cancellation means you can actually drown out background noise instead of cranking the volume to dangerous levels. But Apple didn’t stop there. They added Adaptive Audio, which automatically blends ANC and Transparency Mode to adjust for your surroundings. There’s also Conversation Awareness, which lowers your music when you start talking to someone, so you don’t have to awkwardly rip out an earbud mid-sentence.

The design has been refreshed too. The shorter stem and contoured fit make them more comfortable for all-day wear. Apple also packs in the H2 chip, which boosts sound quality, improves call clarity, and makes pairing with Apple devices as effortless as ever. Speaking of calls, Voice Isolation ensures that whoever you’re talking to can actually hear you, even if you’re calling from a noisy environment.

If you were waiting for a deal, this is a good one. Amazon doesn’t keep Apple products on sale for long, so grab them before the price jumps back up.
