Why Prices Are Dropping

Apple{"'"}s September event — expected the second week of September — will likely bring the AirPods Pro 4 and possibly the long-rumored AirPods Ultra with IR cameras. Retailers are clearing current-gen inventory ahead of the refresh, making this an excellent buying window for budget-conscious shoppers who don{"'"}t need the latest model.

Should You Buy Now?

The AirPods 4 with ANC are the sweet spot — you get active noise cancellation, USB-C, and Apple{"'"}s H2 chip at a price that undercuts every premium earbud competitor. The AirPods Pro 3 add heart rate monitoring, hearing aid functionality, and 2x better ANC. For non-Apple users, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Bose QC Ultra Earbuds are comparable alternatives.
