Apple’s AirPods have long been a staple in the wireless earbud market, appealing to a broad audience with their comfort,simplicity, and seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem.

The new entry-level AirPods have arrived, with lots of upgrades and a new design for the same price as before. So, should you buy them?

The AirPods 4 price starts at $129 for the non-Active Noise Cancellation model, which is the same cost as the AirPods 2 that have stuck around since 2019 (although you could often find them for much less thanks to cheap AirPods deals .)

The first reviews of Apple’s all-new AirPods 4 have arrived. As a refresher, AirPods 4 are available in two versions: one lower-end model priced at $129 and a higher-end version priced at $179 with Active Noise Cancellation.

The AirPods 4 are a major revamp of the "entry-level" model, introducing a more advanced ANC version that sits between the standard AirPods and AirPods Pro models.

There's no feeling quite like the anticipation of a new tech product that promises to do something pretty wildly different, and then having that anticipation paid off by the product actually delivering the goods.
