AirPods 4 review we said they were overpriced at $129: better rivals were cheaper. But this Black Friday deal changes the game because it’s such a big price cut. And that means there’s now another big reason to go with Apple’s option rather than a rival brand.

As we’ve said before, all the best features of the AirPods 4 are Apple-specific: head-tracking spatial audio, auto-device switching, Find My support, audio sharing, and so on. With these earbuds those features work perfectly and reliably.

These are great earbuds for people who don’t like to stick things in their ear canals, and they fit very well, stay stable and sound good with surprisingly powerful bass. It’s worth noting that these are the AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation – though you can get that model for an equally ridiculous $99 at Amazon if you want to be able to tune out the outside sometimes.
