Amazon this week has brought back the all-time low Prime Day price on Apple's AirPods 4, available for $89.99, down from $129.00. This is the base model of AirPods 4 without Active Noise Cancellation, and Prime members in select locations should be able to get same-day delivery if ordered in the next few hours.

This price first appeared last week during Prime Day, and it was one of the overall best deals during this year's event. No other AirPods model has hit their Prime Day prices again, but you can find solid second-best prices on AirPods 4 with ANC at $149.00 ($30 off) and AirPods Pro 2 at $169.00 ($80 off).



AirPods 4 feature the H2 chip, a more comfortable fit, force sensors, Adaptive EQ, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and more. If you're on the hunt for more discounts, be sure to visit our Apple Deals roundup where we recap the best Apple-related bargains of the past week.

I find the air pods pro 2 slightly more comfortable than the AirPods 4 but unless you have both in front of you and are literately testing one after the other, I doubt it’s noticeable.

And everyone’s ears are different. Both do the jobs they’re meant to do very well. For general outdoor wear (walking, jogging etc) both are great for reducing traffic noise. It’s not over-ear ANC, but it’s still very good.

The AirPods 4 are far more comfortable than any of the previous (non-pro) versions, for me at least. The new shape helps a lot. I think the sound is significantly better as well.

EarPods don’t hurt my ears but same shape AirPods do. What say we about AirPods 4?

I think old AirPods hurting my ears has something to do with pressure/wireless and not shape.

If Amazon has this $89 sale price for the next gen AirPods 5 - on a future Prime Day:


I would definitely buy one because I rarely use the noise cancellation feature on my AirPods Pro - I primarily use them when I go for walks and when I do, I only have one AirPod in at a time (to be aware of traffic, etc) doing this also serves a secondary benefit of being able to easily rotate the AirPod (once the battery gets low)

I would then be able to put the daily wear-and-tear on the regular AirPods instead of $249 AirPods Pro so that they’d last longer and when I do actually NEED noise cancellation (like on a plane✈️ etc) I could bring my AirPods Pro instead

My net cost would end up being only $82.77 because I would ship it to New Hampshire and also get 7% cash back from selecting the no-rush shipping method:
