Apple's AirPods changed the game for audio tech when they were first released, and multiple brands came up with competing designs that often don't quite pass muster. But Apple continues to upgrade its earbuds, and the newly introduced Apple AirPods 4. are the best yet. They might have only been in stores for a matter of days, but we're already seeing some pre-Prime Day discounts, and Woot takes the cake with a $20 discount on Apple AirPods 4 -- their biggest price drop yet.
Apple AirPods 4 are available in two formats, and the version that comes with active noise cancelation will usually run you $179, but with this discount, you'll pay only $159. These AirPods have been redesigned so they can fit more comfortably. Apple also included an H2 chip that powers its ANC and allows for transparency mode whenever you're in situations that require you to know what's happening around you. They're also designed with voice isolation, which lets you be heard more clearly when you make phone calls even in loud areas. The AirPods 4 also offers personalized spatial audio and a battery life of up to 20 hours.

These latest AirPods are dust and waterproof and include a smaller case design for an even easier way to carry them around. You can also use them along with Siri for added voice control options, which lets you start calls or choose your audio. Plus, you can now shake your head or nod to respond to any prompts received.
You can also purchase Apple AirPods 4 without ANC. These won't block out sounds the same way, but they're only $109 at Woot thanks to the current discount. They also include personalized spatial audio and have a battery life of up to 30 hours. Keep in mind that Woot discounts often disappear quietly, so it's wise to act fast to nab this discount. Don't worry if you do miss out though, Amazon is offering a similar deal although the retailer only saves you $10 rather than Woot's $20.
