Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds are down to $99.00, which is a pretty strong price if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your earbuds or move into the Apple world for the first time. You get wireless earbuds that link up through Bluetooth, a USB-C charging case, and the newer H2 chip that helps with sound and connection. If you already use an iPhone, these feel very simple to set up. You open the case near your phone, tap a pop-up on the screen, and you are paired. From that point, you can move between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac without messing around in settings each time you switch devices, which makes daily use a lot less annoying.
The big draw for these AirPods is the sound and the Spatial Audio feature. Personalized Spatial Audio can make movies and music feel more open, like the sound is around you instead of stuck in your ears. You can set it up with your iPhone so it maps your ears and head shape, then sound is tuned for you. If you watch a lot of shows on your phone or tablet, or you listen to live albums and movie soundtracks, this makes them more fun and a bit closer to a small home theater feel without needing a bunch of speakers. For music, you still get clear vocals and solid bass for most people’s taste, especially for pop, hip-hop, and podcasts.
These earbuds are also built for daily life, not just sitting on the couch. They are sweat and water resistant, so you can wear them during runs, at the gym, or on a walk in light rain without worrying every second about wrecking them. The fit is made to stay in your ears for longer stretches, which matters if you take a lot of calls or keep them in through a whole workday. Phone calls come through clearly, and the microphones cut down background noise enough for normal use, whether you are talking from a busy street or a home office with some noise in the background.
Battery life is another reason this $99 deal makes sense. With the charging case, you can get up to 30 hours of listening time before you need to plug in with USB-C. That means you can toss the case in your bag and go through a few days of normal use, or a long trip, without thinking much about charging. A quick top-up in the case can give you extra play time if you forgot to charge overnight. If you are already in the Apple setup with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, grabbing AirPods 4 at this price gives you earbuds that fit right into what you own, sound good for both music and video, and handle workouts and daily calls without much fuss.
