AirPods 4 hit a Black Friday record low — non‑ANC model down to $80

Apple’s AirPods 4 (the non‑ANC model) have dropped to a record low price of $80 for Black Friday. If you don’t need active noise cancellation, this model offers many of the improvements Apple introduced in 2025 — a redesigned fit, the H2 chip, and advanced audio features — at a much lower cost than usual.

The non‑ANC AirPods 4 deliver clear, punchy sound thanks to the H2 chip and support Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. They include Voice Isolation and a force sensor on the stem for playback and call controls. Expect about five hours of listening per charge and roughly 30 hours total with the USB‑C charging case.

What you get (and what you don’t)

• Included: H2 chip, Personalized Spatial Audio, Voice Isolation, redesigned fit, force‑sensor controls, USB‑C charging case (~30 hrs total).
• Not included (non‑ANC model): Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Conversation Awareness and some hearing‑health features tied to ANC models.

Other AirPods deals to consider

• AirPods 4 with ANC — about $110 (Black Friday price).
• AirPods Pro 3 — around $220 (current sale).

If you use an iPhone and want seamless connectivity and good sound without paying for ANC, the $80 AirPods 4 are a compelling buy. They’re also a solid gift option for family members who want quality earbuds without the premium price.
