Mother's Day is just around the corner on May 11, and what better way to celebrate than with the latest Apple AirPods, all of which are currently on sale? Starting with the top-tier model, the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro wireless noise-canceling earbuds are now available for $169, down from their usual $240. If you're looking for a slightly more budget-friendly option, the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC (active noise cancellation) is reduced to $148, originally priced at $179. For those who prefer value over noise cancellation, the AirPods 4 without ANC is a steal at $99.99, typically $129.
Apple AirPods Pro for $169
### Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C
The AirPods Pro stands out as the premier choice for iPhone users seeking the best in "truly wireless" audio. Its in-ear design, coupled with superior active noise cancellation, a low-distortion driver and amp, and the powerful Apple H2 chip, delivers unparalleled sound quality. Features like Adaptive Transparency Mode allow you to stay aware of your surroundings without removing your earbuds, while Conversation Mode enhances the voices of those you're speaking with. The latest model now boasts a USB-C port, offering more versatility than the previous Lightning port, and comes with a MagSafe charging case.

### Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation
Launched in September 2024, the Apple AirPods 4 comes in two variants, with the key difference being the active noise cancellation feature on the pricier model. Both versions boast significant upgrades from the AirPods 3, including the newer Apple H2 chip, Bluetooth 5.3 support, enhanced IP54 dust and water resistance, USB-C charging, and a more reliable optical in-ear sensor.
Should you get the AirPods Pro over AirPods 4 with ANC?
The AirPods Pro, priced $70 higher than the AirPods 4 with ANC, offers a superior listening experience. Both models feature active noise cancellation, but the AirPods Pro's in-ear design ensures better sound quality and more effective noise cancellation. Its adjustable tips cater to various ear sizes for a perfect fit, enhancing the overall performance. The AirPods 4 ANC, with its open-ear design, might appeal to those who find in-ear models too intrusive, despite the potential for sound leakage and less effective noise cancellation.
