Amazon’s Spring Sale is delivering some pretty solid Apple deals, and the newly launched AirPods 4 just got their first price drop. You can grab them for $99.99 right now, which is $29 off the $129 list price. This is the kind of deal I didn’t realize I wanted until it showed up in my face. Now I’m thinking about grabbing a backup pair for my backup pair.

These aren’t a minor refresh. Apple actually did something here. The AirPods 4 got a full design overhaul with a more contoured shape and a shorter stem, so they sit more comfortably and stay put. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had old AirPods slowly wriggle their way out of my ears mid-walk. These fix that. They’re also lighter and don’t make my ears feel like they’re hosting a tiny hardware store.

The sound quality? Honestly better than I expected for the “non-Pro” tier. The AirPods 4 have Apple’s H2 chip, which is the same one in the Pro model, and that brings serious upgrades to clarity and performance. Calls are clearer thanks to voice isolation, and music sounds richer without having to mess with EQ settings. And even without active noise cancellation, the sound isolation is decent enough to drown out most background nonsense.

I’m into Personalized Spatial Audio too. It makes everything sound more immersive like you’re in the center of your little surround-sound dome. Apple also added those weird but fun Siri head gestures, so now you can nod to accept a call and shake your head to reject it like a tech-savvy bouncer. Is it necessary? No. Do I still want to use it at every opportunity? Absolutely.
