Best AirPods 4 Deals: Save on Apple's Newest Wireless Earbuds
The AirPods 4 wireless earbuds have been around for a few months and they’ve built quite a reputation for themselves. With support for new features and a more comfortable design, these earbuds hit it out of the park. They also come in two different versions for the first time with one model sporting active noise cancellation and Transparency Mode. They’re both features previously limited to the high-end AirPods Pro 2, meaning you can now get them for less than ever.
In his full review of the AirPods 4, CNET’s David Carnoy says that in both models, “the sound is a little cleaner (improved treble), and you get a bit more bass, so there’s a touch more depth and fullness.” He also notes that the high-end AirPods 4 are the first open earbuds he’s tried that have “active noise canceling that actually works.”
If you’re ready to buy the new AirPods 4, we’ve collected all of the best deals currently available. Read on for everything you need to know about ordering them, as well as all the details and deals for new versions of the high-end AirPods Max earbuds.

Best AirPods 4 deals
We’ll be updating the list below with all the best AirPods 4 deals across all major retailers.
Apple AirPods 4 at Amazon
Amazon is offering AirPods 4 (ANC) with a small $12 savings which while not the biggest discount we’ve seen, it’s better than paying full price and available to everyone. You’ll save $10 off the non-ANC AirPods 4.
Apple AirPods 4 at Walmart
You can order your Apple AirPods 4 from Walmart right now and save up to $12 depending on which version you go for. You will also get four months of Apple Arcade and Apple Music for free alongside three months of Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus and Apple Fitness Plus included.
You can order both the AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC from the Apple Store right now. You can also get free engraving when you order your AirPods 4 from the Apple Store. Apple gives you three months of Apple Music with your purchase.
Apple likely won’t discount the AirPods 4, but you can pay in installments if that’s better for your budget. You’ll get 3% cash back if you pay using your Apple Card*.
Apple AirPods 4 at Best Buy
Order either the ANC or standard AirPods 4 from Best Buy and you’ll pay the same price you’d pay if you bought direct from Apple. The company is, however, throwing in three months of Apple Fitness Plus for new subscribers and up to three months of Apple Music for free for new and returning subscribers with your order of the Apple AirPods 4. Note that you’ll need to cancel before the promotion ends to avoid a continuing subscription free.
Additionally, if you have a similar device you’re willing to part with, you can score trade-in savings. Apple, Beats, Bose, Sony and many other brands are included, so it’s worth checking out if you’re ready to upgrade. Apple AirPods Max, for instance, could get you up to $130 in credit, though some models of earbuds may only score you $15 or so.
