AirPods 4 with ANC return to sale at $99 — $80 off (AppleCare+ bundle $118)
Apple’s AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are on sale again for $99 — roughly $80 (45%) off the regular price. If you want coverage, there’s also an AppleCare+ bundle priced at $118, saving about 43% compared with buying protection separately.
At this price, the AirPods 4 with ANC look like a strong bargain. They were given an 86 score in reviews and include features such as Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Transparency mode, MagSafe and Qi wireless charging, a Find My speaker in the case and support for Live Translation.
Why this deal is notable
- Big discount: $99 is a sizable markdown for Apple’s latest mainstream earbuds with ANC.
- Feature set: Noise cancellation, adaptive audio behavior, and Apple ecosystem benefits like Find My and MagSafe charging.
- AppleCare+ option: The $118 bundle adds peace of mind for a modest premium and is included in some offers.
How they compare
The AirPods Pro 2 still top the lineup for best noise cancellation and feature depth, and they’re worth waiting for when they go on sale. However, for users who prefer an open‑ear fit and value a lower price, the AirPods 4 with ANC at $99 are an excellent alternative.
Buying tips
- Confirm the offer is for the ANC model (not the base AirPods 4 without ANC).
- Check return and warranty terms if buying from third‑party retailers.
- If you only need them short term (for travel or a project), consider taking advantage of the low price and returning before any restock ends.
