Apple's AirPods 4 (without ANC) are on sale for a limited time at a new record price

Since it’s much more unusual for new Apple products to receive discounts just days after their commercial release than, say, their rivals from Samsung or Google, we were certainly surprised to see Amazon selling Apple’s products. AirPods 4 bee reduced prices with and without active noise cancellation even before September ended.

Of course, these were far from drastic price cuts, and the same actually applies to Woot’s improved new discount, available exclusively on the non-noise-cancelling models. AirPods 4 model. If you hurry, it can be yours for $114 instead of the list price of $129, representing a seemingly modest but also unprecedented and possibly unbeatable discount of $15 (or 12 percent).

Technically, this pre-holiday offer runs for two whole weeks, but if you ask me, there’s no way Amazon’s e-tailer has enough inventory to keep the deal going for more than a day or two (at best ) at this new record low price.

If you miss the chance to claim the $15 discount with no special requirements, no strings attached, and no obvious compromises, Amazon itself will still charge $10 less than normal for a “basic pair” AirPods 4as well as $11 below the regular price of $179 for the more expensive variant equipped with state-of-the-art ANC technology.

The brand new, unused, unopened and undamaged items currently available from Woot for $114 come with a standard Apple warranty, mind you, so while it’s clearly too early to know for sure, I personally wouldn’t be shocked if this particular deal went undefeated during this holiday shopping season.

Now the AirPods 4 the absolute best wireless earbuds that a hardcore Apple fan can get for Christmas? Probably not, especially without active noise cancellation.

But their value for money is undeniably solid at the moment (at least), helped along by personalized spatial audio functionality, a modern USB-C charging case and the same powerful H2 chip found in the top-end AirPods Pro 2and a great battery life of up to 30 hours (taking into account the aforementioned case).
