The best AirPods 4 deals

Apple AirPods 4 (standard)

Where to buy

  • Amazon – $99 (regular $129)
  • Walmart – $89 (regular $129.99)
  • Best Buy – $99.99 (regular $129.99)

Apple introduced the AirPods 4 at the end of 2024 as a $129 standard model. The earbuds feature a more comfortable design, improved audio, and Apple’s Voice Isolation for clearer calls. Discounts of $40 – $50 are common, with the lowest historic price at $74 during Black Friday.

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

Where to buy

  • Amazon – $119 (regular $179)
  • Walmart – $119 (regular $179)
  • Costco – $119.99 (regular $179) (members only)

The $179 ANC version adds effective noise‑cancelling, a transparency mode, wireless charging, and a case with a built‑in speaker for Find My tracking. While the AirPods Pro still outperform it in ANC, the ANC‑enabled AirPods 4 provide solid noise reduction at a lower price point. Current sales hover around $119, slightly above the all‑time low of $99.

The best AirPods Pro 3 deals

Where to buy

  • Amazon – $219 (regular $249)
  • Walmart – $219 (regular $249)
  • Target – $219.99 (regular $249.99)

The third‑generation AirPods Pro, launched at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event, add a built‑in heart‑rate sensor that syncs with the iPhone Fitness app, live translation, a fifth swappable ear tip (including XXS), and an IP57 rating. Despite being a recent release, they have seen price drops to as low as $199 in early February. The current $219 price reflects a $30 discount from the standard retail price.

The best AirPods Max deals

Where to buy

  • Amazon (USB‑C) – $449 (regular $549)
  • Walmart (USB‑C) – $529 (regular $549)
  • B&H Photo (USB‑C) – $519.95 (regular $549)

The AirPods Max are Apple’s over‑ear, luxury headphones, built from aluminum, steel, and mesh fabric. They deliver excellent spatial audio, strong noise cancellation, and balanced sound, though they’re pricey. A 2024 refresh introduced USB‑C charging and new colors. Historically, prices have dipped to $399; the current best deal is $449 on Amazon, a $100 saving.

Updated March 3rd to reflect current pricing, availability, and new retailer links.
