It’s a good day for Apple fans on a budget. Not only did the company introduce a new budget phone, its entry-level AirPods 4 are also on sale. Right now, you can snag a pair of Apple’s AirPods 4 starting at just $89 ($30 off) at Walmart. The model with active noise-cancellation are also down to their second best price to date, going for $119 ($60 off) at Amazon and Walmart.
The AirPods 4 are the best and most comfortable entry-level earbuds from Apple yet. They deliver fuller bass along with clearer, more detailed sound than previous models, and even now match the AirPods Pro in terms of voice call quality. They also boast an upgraded IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, meaning they can withstand light rain and sweaty workouts. As with other Apple headphones, they also play nicely with Apple devices, offering conveniences like automatic switching, access to hands-free Siri, and Apple TV support.
If you’re willing to spend $30 extra, the ANC model offers all the same features while also doing a surprisingly good job of tuning out the world. They can’t rival the AirPods Pro, but they still dramatically cut down on ambient and low-frequency noise on planes and in offices, particularly with music playing. The ANC earbuds also offer a transparency mode that sounds natural, along with support for tracking via Apple’s Find My App, a wireless charging case, and live translation through an iOS 26 update.
