As the big Amazon Spring Sale draws closer, rivals like Best Buy and Walmart are intent on offering competitive deals that’ll force you to think twice before you click the checkout button. Right now, Amazon is also dropped the price of the non-ANC AirPods 4 — and you don’t even have to a Prime member to get this low price. Their price for the ANC version is $169, which is still a discount of $11. And in an competitive offer, Apple AirPods 4 deal now 23% off on Target, bringing the price down to $100 — the lowest it has ever been. What’s the catch? First off, this price is for the non-ANC version (you can still get the ANC version for $150). Secondly, you need to be a Target Circle member to redeem the discount — but you can register for free.
The Apple AirPods 4 earbuds have the same brilliant H2 chip found in the AirPods Pro 2, which provides better all-around sound quality. We also like their more compact design, superb voice-calling performance and personalization when it comes to spatial audio. The case also has wireless charging and a speaker that works with Apple’s Find My tracking service.

“With a slightly smaller design, improved sound and Apple’s powerful H2 chip features, the Apple AirPods 4 are a worthy upgrade,” said CNET audio expert David Carnoy in his review. “But what really makes them special is the noise canceling in the step-up ANC model.” This verdict was made when the price was $179, making it a true bargain at $150.
