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 for $99, and this is the kind of deal you grab if you live in the Apple world already. If you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac every day, these fit right into your routine without you having to think much. You open the case near your iPhone, tap a button on the screen, and you are done. From that point on, they pop up on all your Apple gear with your iCloud account, so you don’t have to keep going into Bluetooth settings or messing around when you switch from your phone to your laptop or your iPad.
The big draw with AirPods 4 is the personalized spatial audio. You get a more “around you” sound instead of just audio shooting straight into your ears. Music, movies, and games feel more like they are coming from different directions, and if you watch a lot of shows or movies on your iPhone or iPad, that is a nice upgrade from basic earbuds. Since the sound is tuned for your ears, you get a better sense of placement, which helps with game audio and hearing small details in songs. If you are used to older wired earbuds or cheap Bluetooth buds, this will feel like a clear step up in sound and comfort.
The H2 chip is what helps with that fast pairing, stable connection, and better sound. You can walk around your house with your phone on a table and the audio stays steady instead of cutting out. Call quality gets a boost too, which matters if you spend a lot of time on the phone or in FaceTime calls. Your voice comes through cleaner, and background noise is handled better than with random budget earbuds. You also get up to 30 hours of battery life with the USB-C charging case, so you can go days of normal use without hunting for a charger. If you already switched your phone and other devices to USB-C, it is nice that these use the same cable. You drop the earbuds back in the case during the day and they top off while you move on with your day.
If you like to work out, walk, or run, the sweat and water resistant design is a big plus. You do not need to panic if you get caught in light rain or you sweat a lot at the gym. They are not for swimming, but for daily use, commuting, and workouts, you are covered. The fit is made to be light and easy to wear for long stretches without your ears getting sore, which helps on flights, long calls, or long study sessions. At $99, you are getting earbuds that tie tightly into your iPhone, sound good, charge through the same USB-C cable you already use, and are built to handle real life use. If you have been putting off upgrading from older AirPods or wired earbuds, this price makes it a smart time to switch.
