"If you want noise cancellation for less, fortunately you can buy the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for $119 ($60 off) at Amazon and Walmart. For the price, the AirPods 4 do a surprisingly good job of tuning out the outside world. While they don't drown out noise as completely as the AirPods Pro, they significantly reduce ambient and low-frequency sounds on planes and in offices, especially when listening to music. In our testing, outside noise was easy to ignore even with the volume set to about 50 percent."
"They also add a more robust IP54 rating for water and dust resistance and even boast a few Pro-level features, including wireless charging support, a built-in speaker on the charging case so you can track them via Apple's Find My app, and crystal clear call quality. You also get other perks like support for live translation courtesy of an iOS 26 update, along with a natural-sounding transparency mode."
AirPods 4 are available for $119 with Active Noise Cancellation, representing a notable discount and near-record low price. They reduce ambient and low-frequency sounds effectively on planes and in offices, making outside noise easy to ignore at moderate volume while listening to music. Sound quality improves over previous entry-level AirPods with richer bass. The earbuds gain an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance and add Pro-like features such as wireless charging, a Find My–trackable charging-case speaker, and clear call performance. They support live translation via iOS 26 and a natural-sounding transparency mode. They lack a heart rate sensor, on-ear volume controls, and hearing-aid functionality, yet deliver most features people want at a much lower cost.
