If you're looking for a slightly more affordable option, the Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is discounted to $148, a great reduction from its regular price of $179. For those on a budget, the AirPods 4 without ANC is a steal at just $99.99, originally priced at $129.

Apple AirPods Pro for $169

### Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C

For $249.00, now save 32% and get it for $169.00 at Amazon. The AirPods Pro stands out as the top "truly wireless" earbuds for iPhone users, thanks to its in-ear design that passively isolates noise, combined with superior active noise cancellation, a low-distortion driver and amplifier, and the powerful Apple H2 chip. Features like Adaptive Transparency Mode allow you to stay aware of your surroundings without taking out your earbuds, while Conversation Mode enhances the voices of those you're talking to. The second generation AirPods Pro now features a more universal USB Type-C port, replacing the Lightning port, and comes with a MagSafe charging case as standard.

Down from $179.00, now save 17% and get it for $148.99 at Amazon. Launched in September 2024, the Apple AirPods 4 comes in two variants, distinguished mainly by the presence of noise cancellation in the pricier model. Both versions boast several upgrades from the AirPods 3, including the newer Apple H2 chip (replacing the H1), Bluetooth 5.3 support (up from Bluetooth 5.0), an improved IP54 resistance rating for dust protection (versus IPX4), USB Type-C connectivity (instead of Lightning), and an optical in-ear sensor for better reliability over the previous skin detect sensor.

Should you get the AirPods Pro over AirPods 4 with ANC?

The AirPods Pro, priced $70 higher than the AirPods 4 with ANC, offers superior sound quality and more effective noise cancellation due to its in-ear design. While both have active noise cancellation, the AirPods Pro's in-ear style seals the ear canal, providing passive isolation from ambient noise. It comes with adjustable tips to fit various ear sizes, ensuring optimal performance. In contrast, the AirPods 4 ANC uses an open-ear design, which, while comfortable, allows more sound leakage and ambient noise. The only reason to opt for the AirPods 4 ANC over the Pro at this price point would be a preference for open-ear earbuds.
