Apple’s growing lineup of wireless earbuds now includes the brand-new AirPods 4 and they’re available in two different versions for the very first time. One of those versions comes with active noise cancellation and the other, cheaper version, comes without it. But no matter which you choose you’ll notice a more open and comfortable design as well as support for USB-C charging via the noticeably smaller charging case. Apple’s H2 chip with Bluetooth 5.3 support are also included as well, so you benefit from all the latest features those technologies afford.
In his full review of the AirPods 4, CNET’s David Carnoy says that in both models, “the sound is a little cleaner (improved treble), and you get a bit more bass, so there’s a touch more depth and fullness.” He also said the high-end AirPods 4 are the first open earbuds he’s tried that have “active noise canceling that actually works.”
If you’re ready to buy the new AirPods 4, we’ve collected all of the best deals currently available. Read on for everything you need to know about ordering them, as well as all the details and deals for new versions of the high-end AirPods Max earbuds.

It might not be the biggest discount around but Best Buy is currently offering My Best Buy Plus members a few dollars off their new AirPods. The company is also throwing in three months of Apple Fitness Plus for new subscribers and up to three months of Apple Music for free for new and returning subscribers with your order of the Apple AirPods 4.

Apple, Beats, Bose, Sony and many other brands are included, so it’s worth checking out if you’re ready to upgrade.
