Walmart Cuts AirPods 4 to $79, Undercutting Prime Day and Best Buy
Apple’s AirPods 4 are currently available at Walmart for $79, a 39% reduction from the $129.99 list price. That makes this AirPods 4 Walmart deal cheaper than what Amazon offered during its Prime Big Deal Days event and well below Best Buy’s current $109.99 price, which reflects a 15% discount.
How the price compares
At $79, Walmart’s listing sits $50.99 under the original $129.99 tag. Best Buy’s $109.99 offer saves shoppers $20 off list, but still costs $30.99 more than Walmart’s current price. The Walmart deal also undercuts Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days pricing, according to the available comparison.
What you get with AirPods 4
The fourth-generation AirPods feature a shorter stem than earlier models and a reshaped fit intended to improve comfort and security. Quick-press controls on each earbud handle playback and calls without reaching for a phone.
Inside, Apple’s H2 chip powers Voice Isolation, a feature that reduces background noise during calls. The earbuds also support Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, pairing easily with Apple devices, hands-free Siri, audio sharing, and tracking through the Find My app.
Battery, charging, and durability
Apple rates the AirPods 4 for up to 5 hours of listening per charge, with a total of up to 30 hours when using the USB-C charging case. That case is smaller than the ones that came with previous versions.
Both the earbuds and the case carry an IP54 rating, meaning they are resistant to dust, sweat, and water. That makes them suitable for workouts or exposure to rain.
Customer feedback at Walmart
The Walmart listing holds a 4.3-star average rating from more than 84,900 customer ratings.
Availability and urgency
Walmart’s sale is active now, though the retailer has not indicated an end date or how much stock is available. Deals on Apple earbuds have a tendency to sell out quickly, and there is no guarantee the price will drop further.
