Tech enthusiasts are rushing to purchase Apple AirPods 4 at a 33% discount in an early Prime Day deal on Amazon. The wireless Bluetooth earbuds, known for their impressive 24-hour battery life, have been reduced from £119 to £79.80, offering savings of nearly £40.
Exceptional Comfort and Sound Quality
The AirPods 4 have been redesigned to provide 'exceptional comfort' and deliver a 'cinema-like' listening experience for music and films. They also feature voice isolation technology for clearer phone calls. The charging case allows for on-the-go charging and includes a tracking feature to locate misplaced earbuds.
This deal represents the best saving seen on the platform, kicking off the official Prime Day sales scheduled to start on June 23. It is important to note that this version does not include active noise cancellation. However, the ANC version is also on offer, reduced from £169 to £125.40.
Customer Reviews and Alternatives
The Apple AirPods 4 have received over 13,300 customer reviews on Amazon, averaging 4.6 out of 5 stars. In the past month alone, more than 5,000 units have been sold, with sales expected to increase during the Prime sale.
Shoppers seeking cheaper alternatives might consider the Sony WF-C510 True Wireless Earbuds for £39.99 at Argos, which come in four colours and offer a 22-hour battery life. Alternatively, the JBL Tune Flex with active noise cancelling has been reduced from £79.99 to £39.99 in both black and white.
Positive and Negative Feedback
One satisfied customer commented: 'I've been looking to upgrade my wireless earbuds and decided to get the new AirPods 4. I can honestly say they've completely changed my daily routine. The seamless integration with my iPhone is just incredible. The sound quality is so much better than I expected, and the Personalised Spatial Audio makes music and movies feel so much more immersive. The battery life is fantastic—I can get through a full day of use easily, and the USB-C charging case is a huge plus. The fact that they are sweat and water-resistant is great for my workouts, too. The size is also perfect; they're very compact and comfortable to wear for hours, and the case fits right in my pocket.'
However, some users have noted issues with sizing and charging. One reviewer stated: 'Not charging reliably unfortunately. Function fine other than that. Not super comfortable but okay. Volume control easy. Size is a little big for my ears but seems okay unless I’m moving around too quickly. I guess value for money. Work fine with my phone.' Another user added: 'The sound quality is decent but nothing special. One thing to be aware of: when listening to music at higher volumes, people around you can hear it quite clearly. Since it doesn’t fully seal in the ear, there is noticeable sound leakage.'
The headphones are sweat and water-resistant, making them suitable for workouts. Shoppers can view the deal on Amazon.
