Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are $94 off for today only at $85 shipped (Best Buy Geek Squad refurbished)

$94 off/$85

For today only, as part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering series of deals on Geek Squad refurbished headphones and you’ll find the latest AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation in there down at $84.99 shipped. Regularly $179, this is a sizable $95 off the list price on Apple’s latest ANC buds. 

Currently on sale for $169 at Amazon where they haven’t dropped below $149 in brand new condition all year. In fact, only once have we seen them go for any less there, and that was a short-lived 3-day deal in early December 2024. 

While we tend to stray away from just any old refurbished deal you can find out here, and especially on headphones, there are a few reputable sources for deals on renewed headphones and earbuds – the official Bose re-certified program and the Best Buy Geek Squad offers being two of them. 

Geek Squad Certified Refurbished products are “thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested, so you can be sure that your device will work right, right away.” Today’s discounted units ship with the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, “Charging Case (USB-C) with speaker, Documentation, (USB-C Charge Cable sold separately) with 90 Days warranty.”

Some folks just might not be comfortable with refurbished earbuds and we get it, but we are also talking about a giant $95 in savings here. Considering the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation have never dropped below $139 at Amazon, and have only fallen that low once since release last fall, this is a deal that should at least be on your radar. 

Seeing the AirPods 4 with ANC drop anywhere near $129 or $119 in brand-new condition at some point this year – this is roughly where we expect to see them land for Prime Day and Black Friday later in 2025 – would be entirely notable and the lowest new price ever. But seeing them drop below $100 in new condition is beyond reason – it could happen but it almost certainly will not. And $85 brand-new…basically no chance. 

We came away quite impressed with after getting hands-on last year with Apple’s latest in-ear experience – Hands-on with AirPods 4: better in every way.
