Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds are on sale for $99.00, which is a pretty good price if you have been waiting to upgrade your old earbuds or get your first pair that works well with an iPhone. You get wireless earbuds with a USB-C charging case, Bluetooth, and the newer H2 chip, so you are not buying something that already feels old. If you are in the Apple world, these are made to work smoothly with your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Apple Watch. You open the case near your device, tap a couple of buttons, and you are ready to go. After that, they auto-connect when you pop them in your ears, which saves you from digging around in Bluetooth settings every time.
The sound is better than the older models, especially if you like things like movies, games, and live videos. Personalized Spatial Audio is a big part of that. It tries to shape the sound around your head so it feels more like you are in the middle of what you are watching or listening to. If you watch a lot of shows on your phone or play games, this can make your audio feel a bit more like a small home theater in your ears. Music can feel more open and less flat, and you will likely notice details you missed with cheap wired buds or older Bluetooth earbuds.
If you work out or spend a lot of time outside, the sweat and water resistance helps keep these from dying the first time you get caught in the rain or finish a long run. You do not have to baby them at the gym or worry the moment you start to sweat. The battery life is also a big reason to grab them at this price. You get up to 30 hours with the charging case, so you can go through a full day of calls, music, and videos without feeling like you are glued to a wall charger. The USB-C port on the case is nice if your phone or laptop already uses USB-C, since you can share the same cable instead of keeping a special one just for earbuds.
You should think about this deal if you want earbuds that “just work” with Apple gear, sound good for both music and video, and can handle normal daily use without stressing you out. They are small, easy to toss in your pocket or bag, and they switch quickly between your Apple devices, so you are not stuck re-pairing every time you move from phone to laptop. For $99.00, you are getting wireless earbuds with long battery life, Spatial Audio, sweat and water resistance, and a charging case that fits right into your routine. If you are tired of fighting with cheap Bluetooth buds that cut out or sound thin, this is a simple upgrade that you will notice every day.
