AirPods 4 Black Friday deals save on brilliant earbuds for iPhone
Apple redesigned AirPods 4 for exceptional all-day comfort and greater stability. The earbuds feature the Apple-designed H2 chip with Voice Isolation that improves the quality of phone calls in loud conditions.
This version does not include active noise cancellation, but Apple does offer AirPods 4 with ANC for a slightly higher price.

- Excellent sound quality
- USB-C wireless charging case
- No active noise cancellation
AirPods 4 bring Apple’s latest audio upgrades to its most affordable earbuds, offering improved sound quality, better microphone performance and a more comfortable, refined design. Despite the lower price, the new generation delivers clearer vocals and richer bass. A highlight is personalized Spatial Audio. Plus, the charging case dumped the old Lightning connector in favor of USB-C for easier charging.
All AirPods seamlessly switch their connection to whatever device you’re currently using, a significant advantage of the Apple ecosystem. There are no better earbuds for iPhone, Mac or iPad.
A high-end variant — still called AirPods 4 — adds active noise cancellation, as well as Transparency mode, Adaptive Audio and Conversational Awareness. That makes them rivals for AirPods Pro 3, although ANC isn’t as effective without silicone eartips, as discussed in the Cult of Mac review.
