Amazon is currently offering Apple's AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for just $138.99, making them more affordable than the AirPods Pro 2 and a compelling choice for budget-conscious consumers seeking high-quality earbuds.
AirPods 4: A Value Proposition
These earbuds are strikingly similar to the AirPods Pro 2, featuring the same custom H2 chip, despite the H2's absence in the pricier AirPods Max. The main differences are the lack of silicone ear tips and a slightly shorter battery life.
The AirPods 4 come with a convenient USB-C wireless charging case, eliminating the need for a Lightning port. With ANC enabled, they offer up to 4 hours of listening time, extending to 20 hours with the charging case. Disabling ANC boosts listening time to an impressive 30 hours.
While a standard AirPods 4 model is also available for $119, the additional $19.99 for ANC is a worthwhile investment given the superior audio experience.
AirPods Pro 2 Still a Strong Contender
For those seeking the absolute best, the AirPods Pro 2 remain a solid option. Currently discounted to $169.99 (32% off), they still represent excellent value compared to their original $249 price tag.
