Black Friday Apple deals are already underway, and we’re tracking one of the best AirPods 4. They are now down to $85, a new record low. While these buds don’t offer active noise cancellation, they’re still a great option for those who want all the benefits of Apple earbuds in an affordable package.
The Apple AirPods 4 are the best budget AirPods you can get in 2025, with Apple’s H2 audio chip to support some of the more advanced audio features of more expensive models. They offer voice isolation, personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and more. If you get the model without active noise cancellation, you won’t have features like Clarity Mode and Conversation Awareness or Apple’s hearing health tools. But, the entry-level model still offers great sound quality for the price.
This model also features a redesigned shape, which provides a more comfortable and secure fit so you don’t have to worry about them falling out of your ears. A force sensor on the stem allows basic touch controls including play and pause, next track, previous track and answering a call. You can summon Siri by pressing and holding the stem.
You can expect up to 5 hours of battery life on a charge with the non-ANC model and up to 30 hours using the USB-C charging case.
