Right now, you can pick up the AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation) for $99, and the standard AirPods 4 for $79. While many people will likely be happy with the cheaper option, I urge you to consider spending the extra $20 for the better pair, as the difference in sound quality between the two is night and day.
AirPods 4 features a complete redesign of Apple's iconic wireless earbuds, including a new shape that fits better in your ears, improved audio quality, up to 30 hours of total listening time, and better phone calls that isolate your voice for added clarity.
But, the biggest jump is the introduction of a second AirPods 4 model with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). While this feature has traditionally been reserved for the AirPods Pro models, it's a welcome addition for the base AirPods as it helps eliminate distracting external noise while listening to music, podcasts, or talking on the phone. This model also includes a wireless charging-capable case as an added bonus.
For audio enthusiasts, the new AirPods Pro 3 are also on sale for Black Friday as well, which offer improved ANC, an improved fit, and the ability to track workouts without an iPhone or Apple Watch needed. The 11th generation iPad is also on sale for its lowest price of the year as part of Amazon's Black Friday sale.
