Apple’s AirPods 4 Hit Record Low Price, Offering Competitive Features
In a surprising turn of events, Apple’s AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) have reached a new record low price of $139 on Amazon. This discount comes shortly after a significant price reduction on the AirPods Pro, making the AirPods 4 an attractive option for consumers seeking quality wireless earbuds.
The AirPods 4 now stand at just $9 more than their non-ANC counterpart, presenting substantial upgrades over the previous generation. These improvements include enhanced sound quality, stronger bass, and Voice Isolation for clearer calls. The wireless charging case now features a built-in speaker, while spatial audio with head-tracking and adaptive audio further elevates the user experience.
While the AirPods 4 offer solid active noise cancellation, they lack the canal-sealing ear tips found in the AirPods Pro. This design choice affects noise-dampening capabilities but may appeal to users who prefer an open-ear fit.
The AirPods Pro still maintains an edge with superior sound quality, more intuitive controls, and the ability to function as a hearing aid. However, the AirPods 4 provides excellent value for money, despite some tradeoffs.
