While we are still tracking an insanely low price drop on the flagship AirPods Pro 2 at $153.99 shipped, folks looking to score Apple’s brand new AirPods 4 with ANC that debuted in September can score a set at a new Amazon all-time low for Thanksgiving. While we did see for very short-lived offers at Woot for a touch less, the regularly $179 buds are now down at $164.99 shipped. This is the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon.
For me, the regularly $179 AirPods 4 with ANC selling for over the Black Friday sale price of the regularly $249 AirPods Pro 2 isn’t a particularly enticing proposition. There is a reason the pro set is the pro set after all.
However, some folks might just happen to want the brand new set as opposed to the same old Pro 2 models that have been around since mid 2023. We absolutely loved our time with the new AirPods 4 – they might be a better fit for some folks no matter the price, and despite not being quite as feature-rich as the usually more pricey AirPods Pro 2.
Now, I for one, much prefer the pro set, but some folks have always loved Apple’s standard issue buds and now’s your chance to secure a set at the lowest price Amazon has offered to date. You can get a complete rundown of the new AirPods in our hands-on review to see which side of the fence you sit on and you’ll find some additional resources below that help the cause:
