Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth Headphones, Personalized Spatial Audio, Sweat and Water Resistant, USB-C Charging Case, H2 Chip, Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life, Effortless Setup for iPhone are on sale right now for $99.99, and this is the kind of deal you grab if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your everyday earbuds. At this price, you’re getting a current Apple pair with all the usual perks, without paying that higher launch price you normally see. If you already use an iPhone, these will pop up on your screen the second you flip open the case, and you’ll be ready to listen in a few seconds. No extra menu digging, no fiddling with settings every time you want to switch devices. You just open the case near your phone, tap once, and then you’re set from that point on.
The big draw with the AirPods 4 is the Personalized Spatial Audio. If you watch a lot of movies, shows, or sports on your phone or iPad, this makes the sound feel like it’s coming from around you instead of just straight into your ears. When it’s set up, the audio has more space and direction, so you can pick out voices, effects, and music better. You’ll notice it with games too, since the sound can feel more “around your head,” which makes it easier to tell where things are coming from. You’re not messing with a bunch of sliders or sound profiles; it just adjusts for you in the background. For music, this can make live albums and certain tracks feel more open and full, which is a nice upgrade if you’re used to older earbuds.
The H2 chip is doing the heavy lifting here. This is what keeps the Bluetooth connection stable, helps cut down delay when you watch videos, and keeps everything running smooth between your phone and earbuds. It also helps with power use, which is how you get up to 30 hours of battery life when you count the case. That means you can get through a workday, a commute, a workout, and a bit of TV at night without stressing about a charger. When you do need to top them off, the USB-C charging case is easy to work into your usual setup, especially if you already have a newer iPhone, iPad, or laptop that charges the same way. One cable can cover everything, which is just simpler than keeping a bunch of different cords around.
If you like to walk, jog, or hit the gym, the sweat and water resistant design gives you some peace of mind. You don’t have to worry as much about a light rain or a tough workout. They’re not meant for a swim, but for normal day to day use, they’ll handle what most people put them through. The shape is made for all-day wear, so you can take calls, listen to podcasts, and stream music without your ears feeling tired. Calls are a big part of the story too: the microphones and sound handling are tuned so the person on the other end hears you clearly, even with some wind or street noise in the background. At $99.99, you’re getting easy iPhone pairing, long battery life, spatial audio, a fast chip, and a case that matches the rest of your gear, which makes these a solid pick if you’ve been putting up with older earbuds or cheap pairs that keep cutting out.
