If you want a reliable pair of wireless earbuds that play well with Apple’s ecosystem, the AirPods 4 are one of the best options under $100 you can get. They don’t offer active noise cancellation like the higher-end models, but they do deliver better sound than Apple’s previous entry-level buds with noticeably richer bass. If you rely on earbuds for calls, they now include the Pro’s Voice Isolation tech, which cuts background noise far more effectively than prior entry-level model’s, and Apple has added new head-gesture controls so you can answer calls or dismiss notifications with a nod.

You also get a more robust IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, meaning they can handle sweaty workouts and light rain. Plus, they integrate well with other Apple devices, offering automatic switching, audio sharing, Apple TV integration, and more.
