I recommend theAirPods 4 with ANC to most iOS users, especially ones who don't have the AirPods Pro 2, and are looking to upgrade from the second or third generation AirPods. The AirPods 4 with ANC are ideal for people who want the latest AirPods features without the intrusive in-canal fit and higher price tag of the AirPods Pro 2.

The AirPods 4 without ANC are still a solid option for people who don't care for noise cancellation or other adaptive audio features. I recommend them to iOS users who don't use earbuds often but want earbuds that seamlessly integrate with their other Apple devices. They're also great for beginners, kids, or as a backup pair of earbuds.

How I rated this deal

Based on 's rating system, the AirPods 4 with ANC received a 3.5/5 rating. I gave them this rating because, although they're a wonderful pair of everyday earbuds for iOS users, I've seen them go for a lower sale price. During larger sale events, the AirPods 4 with ANC are$20 cheaper, going for$120 on sale.

I gave the AirPods without ANC a 4/5 because they're also a great pair of everyday earbuds for iOS users, especially those who don't want earbuds with tons of special features, and they're at an all-time low price.
