Why we like it

Apple released the newest AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. At their list price of $179.99, they're a cheaper alternative to the AirPods Pro. In our review, we found that the AirPods 4 stood up exceptionally well to all the commotion of an airplane, delivering delicious audio quality while blocking out noise.

You can find a pair of Geek Squad-refurbished AirPods 4, for just $144.99 at Best Buy during the Outlet Event. That saves $35, one of the biggest discounts we've spotted on the latest Apple tech.
