Apple’s latest AirPods models are still at their lowest price ever – get them while the deal lasts

Jada Jones/ZDNET

Amazon Prime Day may be over, but you can still find Apple’s AirPods 4 at their lowest price yet at Walmart. The AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation (ANC) are currently retailing for $120, or $60 off their sale price. If you want the AirPods 4 without ANC, you can buy that pair for $90.

Apple released the AirPods 4 last September. The ANC-enabled pair is fitted with Apple’s impressive noise cancellation, adaptive noise cancellation, spatial audio, and an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. The charging case includes Qi-certified wireless charging and a speaker that plays a pinging noise when you’re trying to locate it in Find My Devices. Additionally, the earbuds’ advanced H2 chip promises clear voice calling, improved noise-canceling performance, and clearer audio. 

The AirPods 4 without ANC are also a solid option for people who want AirPods without advanced features. They don’t have noise cancellation or adaptive noise cancellation, but they do have spatial audio, Find My compatibility, Siri integration, and a wireless charging case, just like the ones with ANC.

If you don’t need the beefed-up performance of the premium AirPods Pro 2 but don’t want to try your luck with Apple’s older models, the AirPods 4 lineup is a great place to start. The AirPods 4 with ANC are perfect for people who want noise cancellation and improved voice quality without the tighter, in-canal fit of the AirPods Pro 2.

The AirPods 4 without ANC are great for people who don’t require noise cancellation, but still want great audio, spatial audio, and a pair of earbuds that pair perfectly with their iPhone.
