SAVE $29:As of March 25, Apple AirPods 4 are on sale for $99.99 at Amazon as part of its Big Spring Sale. That’s a 22% discount from the usual $129.
Amazon’s Spring Sale is delivering some pretty solid Apple deals, and the newly launched AirPods 4 just got their first price drop. You can grab them for $99.99 right now, which is $29 off the $129 list price. This is the kind of deal I didn’t realize I wanted until it showed up in my face. Now I’m thinking about grabbing a backup pair for my backup pair.
These aren’t a minor refresh. Apple actually did something here. The AirPods 4 got a full design overhaul with a more contoured shape and a shorter stem, so they sit more comfortably and stay put. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had old AirPods slowly wriggle their way out of my ears mid-walk. These fix that. They’re also lighter and don’t make my ears feel like they’re hosting a tiny hardware store.
SEE ALSO: The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are listed for under $170 in the Amazon Spring SaleThe sound quality? Honestly better than I expected for the “non-Pro” tier. The AirPods 4 have Apple’s H2 chip, which is the same one in the Pro model, and that brings serious upgrades to clarity and performance. Calls are clearer thanks to voice isolation, and music sounds richer without having to mess with EQ settings. And even without active noise cancellation, the sound isolation is decent enough to drown out most background nonsense.
I’m into Personalized Spatial Audio too. It makes everything sound more immersive like you’re in the center of your little surround-sound dome. Apple also added those weird but fun Siri head gestures, so now you can nod to accept a call and shake your head to reject it like a tech-savvy bouncer. Is it necessary? No. Do I still want to use it at every opportunity? Absolutely.
Price: $99.99 $129
Retailer: Amazon

Battery life is solid: five hours on a charge or up to 30 hours with the included case. Speaking of, the new USB-C case is about 10% smaller than the last one and IP54 rated, so it’ll handle sweat and the occasional panic jog through the rain.
At $99.99, these are easily one of the better bang-for-your-buck Apple buys in Amazon’s Spring Sale. They’re perfect if you’re tired of your old AirPods falling out, sounding weak, or just... not connecting. I want these, and if I’m being honest, I’m probably going to convince myself I need two.
