Why You Can Trust CNET Apple AirPods 4 With ANC Just Hit a New Record Low at Amazon With $40 Off for the Holidays
Gift yourself or a loved one a set of Apple's latest earbuds, now cheaper than ever.
The biggest sales events of the year may have come to a close, but that hasn't stopped Amazon from banging out some top new deals for the holiday season. One of which applies to the Apple AirPods 4 with active noise canceling, currently down to just $139. Having only been on the market since September, that's a huge $40 in savings and the lowest price we have on record for the new ANC 'buds.
The Apple AirPods 4 earbuds have the same brilliant H2 chip that is found in the AirPods Pro 2, which provides better all-around sound quality. What we also like about them is their more compact design, superb voice-calling performance and personalization when it comes to spatial audio. On top of this, the case features wireless charging and a speaker that works with Apple's Find My tracking service.

"With a slightly smaller design, improved sound and Apple's powerful H2 chip features, the Apple AirPods 4 are a worthy upgrade," said CNET audio expert David Carnoy in his review. "But what really makes them special is the noise canceling in the step-up ANC model." This verdict was given when the cost was $179, so at $139 this is a real bargain.

Why this deal matters
Apple deals are rare, even rarer now that Black Friday and Cyber Monday have passed. Couple that with the fact that the Apple AirPods 4 only launched a few months back and that 22% discount looks better by the minute. It's also worth noting that the upgraded ANC earbuds are now only $10 higher than the entry-level version, which goes for $129. So by spending just a little more, you get a lot more in return.
We don't know how long this savings will stick around for, but we anticipate that it won't be long before the price shoots back up. If you want to get AirPods 4 for yourself or a loved one this holiday season, now's the time to do so.
