Great news if you’re looking for a pair of AirPods! The AirPods Pro 2 are currently just $169 at Amazon, a saving of $80. If that’s too much, the AirPods 4 are down from $129 to just $99, saving you $30. Or in the middle, the AirPods 4 with ANC are down from $179 to $148.99, also a saving of $30.
One of the side benefits of today’s Apple WWDC 2025 event is that we know that buying AirPods 4 or AirPods Pro 2 is a smart and safe thing to do: Apple is expected to announce new features coming to both models in iOS 26 later this year.
The AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 are both excellent audio options for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV owners, and right now they’re also excellent buys thanks to some decent discounts.

Why these buds are wise buys
These are very, very good earbuds that work brilliantly across all of Apple’s devices – not just iPhone and iPad but Mac, Watch and Apple TV too.
The AirPods 4 are ideal if you don’t like in-ear tips, and the spatial audio in movies is particularly great. Just remember that there are two versions, one with ANC and one without. If you’re going to be listening to music or podcasts on a commute or in busy places you might want to get the AirPods 4 with ANC, so you can hear what’s going on a little better here.
As for the AirPods Pro 2, here’s the ultimate recommendation: while I get sent lots of headphones and earbuds to review, these are the buds I bought with my own money. They sound spectacular, which is important, and their noise cancellation is really effective.
Apple has kept updating them since their 2022 arrival, adding new features, so they’re even better value now than when they launched – and for $169, they’re a ridiculous bargain, matching or beating earbuds that cost more.
