I’ve tested a lot of wireless earbuds over the years, and I rarely expect much when a new version shows up. But I’ll admit, the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation caught me off guard in a good way. They just dropped to $149.99 for Amazon’s Spring Sale, which is $29 off the $179 list price. That makes this the first real deal on Apple’s latest noise-canceling earbuds, and I’m intrigued.

Apple didn’t just slap “new” on the box and call it a day. The AirPods 4 with ANC have been genuinely redesigned with a more ergonomic shape, a shorter stem, and better controls. They feel more secure and actually stay in place when I move around. Shocking, I know.

The real story, though, is the sound. These use Apple’s H2 chip, which unlocks Adaptive Audio—a feature that smartly blends noise cancellation and transparency mode based on what’s happening around you. It’s one of those “I didn’t know I needed this” things. You can block out the chaos on your commute, then seamlessly hear someone talking to you without yanking an earbud out. Conversation Awareness even lowers the volume automatically when it senses you’re mid-chat. It’s giving thoughtful little assistant energy.

The audio quality is also better than I expected for the non-Pro line. Calls are sharper thanks to voice isolation, and everything from podcasts to playlists sounds crisp and full. You also get Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, which places sound around you like you’re sitting center row in a private screening of your own music video. No complaints here.
