Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are $30 off at Best Buy
SAVE $30: As of March 14, Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are on sale for $149.99 at Best Buy. That’s $30 off their usual price of $179.99. The deal ends March 16.
There are two types of people in this world. Those who lose their AirPods constantly and those who don’t own AirPods yet. If you’re in the second camp or just tired of using the single earbud you still haven’t lost, now’s a good time to fix that. Best Buy has Apple’s AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for $149.99, knocking $30 off the usual price of $179.99. This deal disappears after March 16 so don't think about it for too long.
For under $150 you’re getting active noise cancellation, which is kind of a big deal. Standard AirPods let in just about every sound around you. Dog barking, baby crying, someone on the train having a full-volume FaceTime call with no headphones. AirPods 4 ANC blocks noise out so you can enjoy your music, podcasts, or just the sound of sweet, sweet silence.
But there’s always that moment when you need to hear what’s going on. Like when your name gets called at the coffee shop or when someone at work starts a sentence with “Not to add to your workload, but…” That’s where Environmental Noise Control comes in, letting outside sound in when you need it.
Battery life is decent but not groundbreaking. You’ll get four hours per charge, which is fine for commuting but might have you reaching for the case during a long-haul flight. Speaking of the case, it bumps the total battery life up to 20 hours, so as long as you remember to drop them in between uses, you’ll be fine. Charging is USB-C because Apple finally decided we don’t need 17 different cables for their products (and they got forced to).

These AirPods also come with Bluetooth 5.3, meaning they’ll pair instantly with your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. No fiddling with settings required. And if you’re someone who actually uses Siri (I respect you, but I don’t understand you), they work seamlessly with voice commands.
Are there cheaper wireless earbuds out there? Sure. But are they AirPods, with Apple’s seamless pairing, noise cancellation, and ecosystem perks? No. That’s why these are worth considering, especially at $149.99 up until March 16.
