The AirPods 4 wireless earbuds have been around for a few months, but they're still the hottest ticket in town if you're in the Apple ecosystem. With two versions on offer for the first time, these redesigned earbuds now boast premium features like active noise cancellation and Transparency Mode. And no matter which version you choose you'll benefit from Apple's advanced wireless H2 chip and Bluetooth 5.3 support. Outside of the impressive AirPods Pro 2, fans of Apple's wireless buds have never had it so good.
In his full review of the AirPods 4, CNET's David Carnoy says that in both models, "the sound is a little cleaner (improved treble), and you get a bit more bass, so there's a touch more depth and fullness." He also notes that the high-end AirPods 4 are the first open earbuds he's tried that have "active noise canceling that actually works."
If you're ready to buy the new AirPods 4, we've collected all of the best deals currently available. Read on for everything you need to know about ordering them, as well as all the details and deals for new versions of the high-end AirPods Max earbuds.

Apple AirPods 4 at Best Buy
Order either the ANC or standard AirPods 4 from Best Buy and you'll pay the same price you'd pay if you bought direct from Apple. The company is, however, throwing in three months of Apple Fitness Plus for new subscribers and up to three months of Apple Music for free for new and returning subscribers with your order of the Apple AirPods 4. Note that you'll need to cancel before the promotion ends to avoid a continuing subscription free.
Additionally, if you have a similar device you're willing to part with, you can score trade-in savings. Apple, Beats, Bose, Sony and many other brands are included, so it's worth checking out if you're ready to upgrade. Apple AirPods Max, for instance, could get you up to $130 in credit, though some models of earbuds may only score you $15 or so.
