Grab These AirPods 4 for Just $89 on the Last Day of Amazon Prime Day

At more than 30% off, it’s the best deal we’ve ever seen for these earbuds, which typically retail for $129. Don’t be shy, grab it now.

Apple’s AirPods truly revolutionized audio technology upon their initial release, quickly becoming the go-to earbuds for countless people. The latest Apple AirPods 4 continue to set the standard, boasting enhanced features and a refined design that makes them the most advanced iteration yet.

But act fast, today is the final day of Prime Day 2025, and this incredible deal ends at midnight.

Right now, Amazon is selling them for a record-low $89. This Amazon Prime Day deal is the best price we’ve ever seen these earbuds go for, and we don’t expect them to get much cheaper anytime soon.

Apple AirPods 4 are available in two formats, and this is the version without active noise cancellation. These AirPods will usually run you $129 (the ANC model typically retails for $179), but with this discount, you’ll pay only $89. These AirPods have been redesigned so they can fit more comfortably. Apple also included an H2 chip that allows for voice isolation whenever you’re in situations that require you to take calls in a noisy environment. The AirPods 4 also offer personalized spatial audio and a battery life of up to 20 hours.
