It’s that time of the year. Early Prime deals are in full swing at Amazon, and we’re spotting some rare deals on Apple products right now. We say rare because the brand doesn’t really offer solid discounts as frequently as some of its competitors. One of the best Apple deals available right now is on the AirPods 4, which are currently discounted by 23%. The base version is going for $99, down from $129.
If you’re often out and about and would also like noise-cancellation abilities for distraction-free listening, AirPods 4 with ANC are available for $149, after a nice $30 discount on the usual $179 price.
Solid sound, clear calls
AirPods 4 are comfortable to wear. These feature a refined contour with a shorter stem, which makes them pretty lightweight. You won’t feel any unnecessary pressure in (or around) your ears with them on, which makes it easier to wear your AirPods for extended periods.
Apple’s H2 chip delivers excellent sound quality, plus significantly upgrades calls. The basic AirPods 4 push well-balanced, crystal clear sound for all your favorite tracks, whether you’re listening to music or catching up on a podcast. When you’re taking calls, these isolate your voice from all that’s happening in the background, then further clarify it with advanced computational audio. This way, the other person can hear you absolutely clearly, even when you’re taking a call in noisy, bit chaotic places. You’re especially going to appreciate this feature if you work remotely and often need to hop onto important meetings when you’re out and about.
Then there’s voice assistant support, which makes it easy to get quite a few things done without reaching out for your phone. You can ask Siri to make a call, check the weather, go through your daily schedule, etc. Battery life is another strong selling point, as a single charge offers up to five hours of listening time, which is extended to about 30 hours with the charging case. The included case is also around 10% smaller than the previous generation, so carrying your buds in your pocket or backpack feels really convenient.
AirPods 4 (and the case) can also survive sweaty workouts, walks in the rain, and dusty storms pretty well, as they are rated IP54 dust, sweat, and water resistant. Connecting the pair to a device is really straightforward as well. Placing these buds near your device and tapping “Connect” on the screen gets you started within seconds. On top of that, you can even share songs/shows between two sets of AirPods, which comes in handy when you want to stream with your partner but aren’t a fan of playing audio out loud and need some privacy!
The base version of AirPods 4 is now down to $99 at Amazon. This 23% discount saves you $30 on your purchase. The ANC version is going for less, too, so you can consider that if you want your listening sessions to be really immersive without any background noise getting in the way.
