Apple drops AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation to $134.99 in limited-time deal

Apple is offering a temporary discount on its AirPods 4 featuring Active Noise Cancellation, reducing the price by $44 to $134.99, highlighting swift changes in retail promotions.

Apple’s AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are now being sold for $134.99, according to iClarified, which says the latest reduction takes $44.01 off Apple’s $179 list price. The site said the deal price was $14 lower than earlier in the day, underlining how quickly pricing can move on retail promotions.

The model keeps Apple’s open-fit design, so it sits in the ear without a silicone tip, while adding active noise cancellation and automatic adjustment as the listening environment changes. iClarified says the earbuds can also reduce audio when the wearer starts speaking, and that the microphones are designed to isolate the voice on calls from surrounding noise. Apple rates battery life at up to four hours of listening with noise cancellation switched on, or up to 20 hours with the charging case; with cancellation off, Apple says total listening time can reach 30 hours.

The case is Apple’s smallest wireless-charging version and works with an Apple Watch charger, a USB-C cable or any Qi-certified charger, according to iClarified. Duke Stores’ education price sheet still lists the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation at $179, which suggests the new retail offer is a discount rather than a permanent price change. Apple also disclosed a separate Earth Day promotion in 2026 that offered 10% off select products, including these AirPods, to customers recycling an eligible device at participating US Apple Stores.
