The online retailer is offering £30 off during its Spring Deal Days event, dropping the price from £169 to £139 until March 16
Amazon has undercut competing retailers with its latest price drop on Apple’s AirPods – but it won’t last long. The e-commerce giant is running its annual Spring Deal Days promotion, slashing £30 off the Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation.
Normally priced at £169, they’re now available for £139 – a reduction of 18%. This beats the £169 asking price at rivals including Apple, Argos and Very, though the week-long promotion ends on Monday, March 16.
These earbuds are the premium choice of the two AirPod 4 models available, as they include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), unlike the AirPods 4 without ANC (£99). This technology blocks out ambient noise for a more immersive listening experience.
The AirPods 4 offer several fresh features absent from previous generations, including Conversation Awareness, which lowers volume automatically when you speak before returning it to normal levels. Via Adaptive Audio, the ANC responds to your environment, whilst Spatial Audio gives the sensation that sound is coming from all around you.
Apple has additionally refined the AirPods’ construction for enhanced comfort, even during prolonged wear, whilst the included charging case is said to be the smallest ever produced. When used with the case, the earbuds can provide up to 30 hours of battery life and up to five hours on a single charge, reports the Liverpool Echo, reports the Daily Star.
Additional standout features include IP54 water resistance and ‘Find My’ compatibility, enabling users to track down their AirPods through their iPhone or iPad if they go missing. Alternatively, shoppers can purchase the identical model for £5.50 monthly through Sky Mobile’s payment scheme. The caveat is that this pricing demands a 36-month contract commitment.
For those taking advantage of Amazon’s Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation offer, shoppers have awarded them an impressive 4.6-star rating based on over 20,000 reviews.
One customer commented: “This latest generation is incredible. I upgraded from the first gen, and the difference is incredible. Active Noise Cancellation is great, and the sound is crystal clear. Battery life is excellent, the touch volume control is fantastic, and they seem durable enough to hold up well with use.”
Another remarked: “Fab AirPods. The sound quality is excellent, and they were very easy to set up straight out of the box. They connect quickly and the battery life has been great so far. They’re comfortable to wear and stay in well, whether listening to music or watching videos.”
One purchaser offered a word of warning to those outside the Apple universe, noting: “They are decent-sounding headphones, I would only get them if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, though. They connect to iPhones and iPads seamlessly, but good luck getting it to do that on anything else.”
One five-star AirPods 4 review states: “Absolute quality, perfect size, fits in the ear perfectly. Easy to use too, functions are easy to change and use, volume control is easy. I love them, the noise cancelling works really well.”
Meanwhile, another pleased customer commented: “Best headphones I’ve had, sound quality great. I struggle with noise-cancelling headphones, and the settings on these really help. I like being able to hear what’s around me and being able to cancel noise.”
