Apple charges $129 for AirPods 4 in every Apple Store and on Apple.com without a single dollar of discount. Amazon just dropped them to $99 with no announcement.
Apple has not moved the price of AirPods 4 by a single cent in its retail stores since launch but Amazon just dropped them to $99, down from their regular $129.which is a 23% cut on the best-selling wireless earbuds in the world, available right now while Apple charges $30 more for the exact same product in every Apple Store. The AirPods 4 were redesigned from scratch with a refined contour and shorter stem that sits closer to the ear for better stability and a more discreet profile.
The H2 chip handles the audio processing, and the jump in quality from previous generations is immediately audible: personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking fixes sound in a position relative to the room rather than just your head, which creates a genuinely immersive listening experience for music, video, and games. Voice Isolation on calls filters background noise in loud environments and clarifies your voice for the person on the other end, which is the feature most people notice first after switching from older AirPods.
Battery runs up to five hours of listening time per charge with up to 30 hours total from the case, which covers a full work week of daily commuting before needing to charge the case. The USB-C charging case is more than 10% smaller than the previous generation, which matters when it is living in a pocket or a small bag.
IP54 water and dust resistance covers rain, sweat, and workouts without issue, and the optical in-ear sensor pauses playback automatically when one earbud comes out and resumes when it goes back in. Find My tracks each earbud and the case individually if they get separated. Siri Interactions add a hands-free response layer: nodding your head means yes and shaking it means no, which lets you respond to Siri notifications without speaking or touching your phone.
One-tap pairing works across all Apple devices, and Audio Sharing lets two sets of AirPods listen to the same source from a single iPhone or iPad simultaneously. At $99, the AirPods 4 match or undercut the competition while remaining the best-integrated earbuds in the Apple ecosystem by design. With, the demand at full price was already extraordinary. At $99, the gap between Apple Store pricing and Amazon’s current price is $30 with no functional difference between the two products.
