AirPods 4 Get First Discounts at Amazon ($10 Off)

Just three days after their official launch, Apple's AirPods 4 earbuds both with and without Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) have received their first discounts at Amazon, knocking $10 off their regular prices. The higher-tier model with ANC is down to $169.00, while the cheaper model without ANC is now available for $118.00.

In addition to ANC-related features like Adaptive Audio, Transparency, and Conversation Awareness, the higher-tier AirPods 4 also add wireless charging capabilities and a speaker for Find My to the AirPods case.

The two models of the AirPods 4 launched this month as successors to the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3, offering a more comfortable fit, an H2 chip supporting improved audio capabilities, dust resistance, and more.

Amazon also still has the AirPods Pro 2 at a heavily discounted price of $189.99, but if you prefer the open-ear design of the regular AirPods, this is your first opportunity to save a few dollars. The higher-tier model represents the first time ANC has been offered outside of the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max options, making them an appealing option for some customers.

Update 5:10 pm: In addition to the higher-tier model, Amazon has now also discounted the lower-tier AirPods 4 model.

How do they compare to AirPods 2? I have the AirPods 2 pro but I don't find them as comfortable as the AirPods 2.
If you liked the AirPods 2 then you should like the AirPods 4 even more. The sound quality is better and the cans are narrower vs the AP2. I find the AP4 stay in my ear a lot better. I'm also a big fan of spatial audio and head tracking on the AP4. They are a nice upgrade and i'm looking forward to the rumored AirPods Pro 3.

I bought these on Sunday when walking past an Apple Store. I wasn't planning to, as I have more AirPods of various types than you can throw a stick at. I was suspicious and expecting to return them, but I am completely sold! If it helps others decide, the version 1 and 2 fitted me fine. 3 was a bit of a struggle but I can get on with them OK with the occasional fall out (pun sort of intended...) The APP2s are similar to the 3 in terms of fit, but I get silicon tip fatigue quite quickly (2 hours).

Well, I found the ANC 4s remarkable. The fit is almost perfect (not quite as good as version 2, but good... one loosened during a meal with lots of chewing, but it took a while for that to happen, and I had had them in for around 4 hours in total by then). The ANC is remarkable for no tips. It may be that the fit in my ears is snug and "just right" but I would estimate the ANC is 2/3 as good as the APP2 and for me, that is good enough. On a loud subway train I could still play podcasts at sensible volume levels and hear it very clearly. I resent the lack of volume control in the stems, but otherwise I find these perfect for my needs.

Me too

Had occasion to use my APP2s yesterday for 3 hours and the volume on the stems should have been on the AP4s ... at least on the more expensive AP4 ANC model
