AirPods 4 Drop Again After Yesterday's Drop, Someone at Apple Hit the Panic Button Twice - Kotaku

"Historically, Apple has kept the pricing of AirPods 3 rock-solid with virtually no meaningful discounts appearing anywhere. That changes this Sunday with a back-to-back 44% price drop on the brand-new AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation. You won't find this on the Apple website, but Amazon is shifting brand-new units for Black Friday at an all-time low of $99, down from that usual $179 price tag."

"Apple's H2 chip powers every advanced feature in these earbuds, from active noise cancellation to computational audio processing. The chip analyzes outside noise 48,000 times per second and generates inverse sound waves to cancel the unwanted sounds before reaching your ears. You can enjoy your favorite music without cranking up the volume to potentially dangerous levels on noisy commutes or airplanes."

"Adaptive audio effortlessly fuses active noise cancellation with transparency mode, depending on your environment. It automatically changes the balance between blocking outside noise and letting environmental sounds through. You get maximum isolation when you need to focus, while the earbuds let traffic noise through when you're crossing streets. Conversation awareness detects the minute you start talking to someone nearby and automatically lowers your music volume while amplifying voices."

Amazon is offering brand-new AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation for $99 during Black Friday, down from $179, while the non-ANC model drops to $79 from $129. The H2 chip enables advanced features including active noise cancellation and computational audio processing by analyzing outside noise 48,000 times per second and generating inverse sound waves to cancel unwanted sounds. Adaptive Audio automatically blends ANC and Transparency mode, dynamically adjusting isolation and enabling conversation awareness to lower music and amplify voices when speech is detected. Transparency mode reproduces environmental audio via external microphones, and voice isolation clarifies calls in noisy settings.
