Apple Airpods 4 deal is almost unmissable thanks to Amazon payday deal

Apple only just recently released its newest AirPods 4 to the world and for many Apple fans, spending £129 on some earbuds might be a bit steep. But it seems the best time to buy a pair of Apple's AirPods 4 is right now thanks to Amazon.

- one of the cheapest price we have seen since being released a couple months ago. It's not a massive price drop but considering it's an Apple product and it was only released back at the end of September, it might be well worth picking up.

is that we gave them - five out of five stars - during our rundown of the earbuds.

Apple has tweaked things inside the compact casing with the buds now getting a new acoustic architecture and the impressive H2 chip which offers features such as Personalised Spatial Audio with head tracking for more immersive sound.

The result is some pretty epic audio that is rich in detail and packed full of bass. No matter what your taste in music it's hard not to be wowed by what Apple's audio experts have achieved and they are easily as good as many of the more expensive models on the market.

That Spatial Audio technology also makes it appear as if the sound is hitting your ears from all directions - it's a great addition to these cheaper AirPods and it works just as well when watching movies or tuning into a boxset.

Talking of using them for lengthy periods, we've easily matched Apple's five-hour battery life claim plus there's a total of 30 hours without needing to visit a plug thanks to the little white case which is 10 percent smaller than before. That battery puck also gets a USB-C socket so those with the latest iPhones (which also feature USB-C) can pack one cable rather than needing a Lightning lead in their bag as well.

There are also improved Siri responses which let you shake your head to say yes or no to answering calls or accepting texts and there are Force sensors in the stem which you squeeze to change tracks or pause your tunes. These touch functions can be switched via the AirPods settings on your iPhone.

It's worth noting that not everyone has been thrilled, including one Amazon shopper who said: "Very bad sound, sounds very flat. AirPods 2 are much more comfortable and sound much better."

But if you want to spend a bit less, which also feature noise-cancelling so you can drown out unwanted noise.
