Yes, the regular AirPods 4 are just $79 at Amazon right now (down from $129), but I've found a better Black Friday deal. The AirPods 4 with ANC give you active noise cancellation for blocking out unwanted sounds, a Conversation Awareness mode to make sure you don't miss anything important and wireless charging support for its charging case.
Right now, the AirPods 4 with ANC for $99 at Amazon is the Black Friday AirPods deal we'd get with our own money. That's $80 off and the lowest price ever for these earbuds.
The AirPods 4 are a very solid earbud option if you're an iPhone user who doesn't want to spend a lot on the AirPods Pro. We loved the AirPods 4 in our review, rating them 4 stars. We particularly like the active noise cancellation performance, comfortable fit and great Spatial Audio with Apple Music. They last for five hours on a charge but up to 30 hours with the charging case.
In our AirPods 4 review we praised these earbuds for offering "pro-level features for less." This includes effective noise cancellation when you're on the go, as well as Conversational Awareness. So if someone starts talking to you you'll be able to hear them without touch the AirPods.
The AirPods 4 design is pretty comfortable, too. Here's what our reviewer Kate Kozuch had to say about the fit: " I found the AirPods 4 comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I will say the AirPods 4 did shift a bit in my ear when I wore them on a cross-country flight, so I just had to adjust them occasionally to retain a secure fit. But overall, it felt like they were barely there."
Other highlights of the AirPods 4 include Personalized Spatial Audio and Head Gestures support, so you can answer or decline calls just by shaking your head.
The AirPods 4 battery life could be better at 5 hours, but the charging case adds 30 hours of endurance. Even better, unlike the regular AirPods 4, this model offers wireless charging. And if you misplace your AirPods, the case offers Find My Support so you can easily track them down.
Overall, for $99 you're not going to find a better Black Friday AirPods deal. For more discounts, check out our Black Friday deals live blog.
