Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds are down to $99.00, which is a pretty strong price if you’ve been waiting to upgrade your old headphones or move into the Apple world for the first time. You’re getting wireless earbuds that are made to pair fast with an iPhone, so you don’t have to fight with Bluetooth menus every time you want to listen to something. You just open the USB-C charging case near your phone, tap a prompt, and you’re ready to go. After that first setup, they reconnect on their own, so you can pop them in and start a call, music, or a video without wasting time. If you hate tech that takes a lot of setup and guesswork, that alone can make these worth it.
The H2 chip inside is the part that helps with fast pairing, stable connection, and sound. You get clear audio for music, podcasts, and calls, and the earbuds are tuned in a way that will feel familiar if you’ve used other Apple headphones. Personalized Spatial Audio is there if you like more of that “surround” feel. You can set it up for your ears with your iPhone camera, and then movies, shows, and some music tracks can sound like they’re coming from around you instead of straight into your head. If you watch a lot of streaming content on your phone or tablet, this can make it more fun and a bit closer to watching on a bigger setup with speakers.
Battery life is another big reason to grab these at this price. Apple rates them for up to 30 hours with the charging case, which means you can go through several days of normal use before you have to plug in with USB-C. That helps if you travel, commute, or just forget to charge your gear all the time. The earbuds are also sweat and water resistant, so you can wear them at the gym, on a run, or out in light rain without stressing about them right away. You’re not getting a rugged sports gadget, but for average daily use and workouts, you’re covered.
If you already own an iPhone, these fit right into your setup. You can switch between Apple devices signed into the same account, so you can watch a show on your iPad, then answer a call on your iPhone without doing manual Bluetooth switching every time. The case is small enough to toss in a pocket or bag, and USB-C charging means you can share a cable with a lot of your other gear. For $99.00, you’re getting earbuds that pair easily, sound good, last a long time on a charge, and handle sweat and splashes, all without needing to learn a bunch of new tricks. If your old wired earbuds are driving you nuts, or your earlier AirPods are starting to die, this deal is a simple way to upgrade without spending a ton.
