If you've been waiting for a discount on some new Apple 'buds, you'll know that it's a pretty rare occurrence. But, if there's one time it's most likely to happen, it's Black Friday.

And, as if by magic, there's one heck of a deal that you seriously don't want to miss out on during the annual sales event.

The Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are a do-it-all pair of buds from the tech giant. In fact, they cram in so many flagship features with effective noise-blocking and improved sound that we're surprised you can secure them for a mid-range price. But, you can, and now that price is even better, thanks to this Black Friday deal.

The Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are a no-brainer for Apple fans, especially if you don't like the traditional in-ear tips of the AirPods Pro 2.

The AirPods 4 don't burrow into your ear in the same way, yet Apple has managed to give these 'open' design buds surprisingly capable active noise canceling, which is a relief considering you pay extra for the privilege.

In fact, our expert testers said: "In the AirPods 4, you don’t get the benefit of this seal, but what Apple has done is target low-level frequencies specifically to cancel out. We’re talking engine rumbles, the sound of aircon and exhaust fans, the low noise of traffic and general deep, low-level hums."

So, aside from effective ANC, what else do the AirPods 4 have to offer? Well, they come equipped with personalised spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, as well as clear voice call capabilities and hands-free gesture controls.

Plus, like the flagship Pro 2 model, the AirPods 4 with ANC sport Bluetooth 5.3 and have an IP54 dust and waterproof rating, both of which are updates over the AirPods 3.

And despite feeling a little disappointed that, while Apple claim a 30-hour battery life, we found it to sits more around 20 hours if you use ANC, it's still a beefy amount of time to enjoy your tunes.

Sonically, we said in our full review: "It doesn’t take us long to recognize that the AirPods 4 with ANC have a similar sonic presentation to the flagship Pro 2 model. There’s clarity and detail, agility and balance, along with a focus on voices that make them immediately appealing to listen to."

And Black Friday offers the perfect opportunity to test our these earbuds for yourself at the seriously impressive price of $100 on Amazon.
