‘Connecting was effortless and the audio quality is outstanding’
With Black Friday fast approaching, shoppers looking for high-quality audio as a gift or treat may be in luck with Apple’s newest AirPods 4. With over 5,000 bought in the past month, according to Amazon, they are discounted in a limited-time deal.
The Apple AirPods 4 are currently priced at £99.00, down from £119.00, that’s a 17% saving. With a new design over the previous generation sporting a smaller overall shape that rests securely in shoppers’ ears for enhanced comfort, there’s a host of improvements to appreciate.
Featuring a new H2 chip sporting voice isolation, these AirPods reduce background noise by filtering out traffic and other disturbances during calls, so the user’s voice can cut through no matter the environment. Apple’s personalised spatial audio and head tracking maps your movement in a 3D space to place noises relative to where you’re listening for an immersive surround sound-like experience.

Its newly refined, shorter stem adds buttons so users can pause their music or use Siri, Apple’s hands-free voice assistant, on the go. Its motion tracker can even track head movements, so buyers can nod or shake their head for hands-and-voice-free phone control.
With up to five hours of listening time on a single charge, the pair’s total battery life is up to 30 hours. The new case is even smaller than the previous generation, with a universal USB-C charger for convenience, meaning users can use the same lead as their phone for charges on the go.

Featuring 22 hours of battery life and a tiny form factor that makes these earbuds exceptionally light, the ambient sound mode lets outside noise in, so buyers can remain aware of their surroundings without interrupting their music.
Buyers could also check out Currys’ SAMSUNG Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earbuds, currently priced at £139 down from £219, saving £80. Featuring active noise-cancelling that blocks out disturbances, as well as IP57 water and sweat resistance, which means these earbuds can withstand water at a depth of 1 metre for up to 30 minutes.
There’s also a two-year guarantee to set shoppers’ minds at ease. Shoppers of the Apple AirPods 4 from Amazon loved the sound quality. One shopper said: “Exactly what I was hoping for. The sound is rich, clear, and well-balanced.
“Connecting was effortless and the audio quality is outstanding. I’m really glad I bought these.” Another added: “The Apple AirPods 4 are a huge step up from my previous earbuds.
“The sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass, and the personalised spatial audio really makes music and movies feel immersive. They connect instantly to my iPhone, and the H2 chip makes everything super smooth and responsive.”
A third said: “Great sound, brilliant bass and comfortable fit, so much better than earlier versions. I also have the AirPods Pro 2 version, but they are always falling out of my ears and are painfully uncomfortable after 15 minutes, so I wanted to move away from silicone earbuds and hesitated before buying the AirPods 4.
One warned that for those with smaller ears, the fit could be slightly looser than expected. They said: “I love the sound quality from these ears, it is excellent. My only disappointment is that they do fall out of my ears at times, so I don’t feel I am able to wear them when walking.
“The battery life is good, and I am getting used to the press ear functions – it does take me a while to get the hang of these things.” Another added: “Great quality. Fantastic mids and highs. They are difficult to keep in place, especially if you are exercising and building up some sweat.”
