Best AirPods 4 Deals: Save Up to $29 Off Apple's Iconic Wireless Earbuds

CNET14-05-2025

The AirPods 4 wireless earbuds are the latest in a long line to carry the iconic AirPods tag, and they don't disappoint. They are more comfortable and sound better than any previous version, with prices starting at a competitive $129. For those willing to spend a little more, active noise cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode are both available on the upgraded $179 model. Those are features that might have otherwise pushed buyers towards the costly AirPods Pro 2, which makes the AirPods 4 (ANC) a great buy for those who want some extra features without breaking the bank.
In his full review of the AirPods 4, CNET's David Carnoy notes that in both models, "the sound is a little cleaner (improved treble), and you get a bit more bass, so there's a touch more depth and fullness." He also says that the high-end AirPods 4 are the first open earbuds he's tried that have "active noise canceling that actually works."
If you're ready to buy the new AirPods 4, we've collected all of the best deals currently available. Read on for everything you need to know about ordering them, as well as all the details and deals for new versions of the high-end AirPods Max headphones.

The last-mile entrepreneur: How a Bay Area business owner turned Amazon deliveries into success

In August 2020, a customer came into Ronald Dubon's mechanic shop and asked him to repair an Amazon delivery truck. After completing the job, the customer mentioned that he had many more trucks needing service if Dubon could handle them. 'My eyes went big,' Dubon remembers. 'I thought I was coming up on an Amazon contract to fix vehicles.' But soon, Dubon discovered a different opportunity. The customer explained that Amazon doesn't operate the ubiquitous vans that take packages from its warehouses and deliver them to customers' homes. Instead, it contracts with more than 4,400 independent logistics companies to handle last-mile delivery. Dubon, who owned a delivery company of his own, was intrigued. He completed an online application for Amazon's Delivery Service Partner program the next day. He moved quickly through Amazon's interview process and, by October, was taking delivery of a fleet of 20 vehicles to launch his business. 'My life changed in that moment,' he said. expand Inside Amazon's DSP program Turning his Inner City Logistics business into an Amazon DSP was relatively simple, Dubon said. Amazon negotiates with vendors that supply most of the equipment DSPs need to purchase for their businesses, such as Amazon-branded vans, uniforms and handheld devices. The company also offers access to various optional business services, such as insurance, accounting and payroll software. Amazon's commitment to its DSPs is growing, too. In September 2024, the company announced it plans to incrementally invest more than $2.1 billion in the DSP program. It plans to spend the money on safety programs, rate cards, training, value-added services, incentives and other areas to support the businesses that handle its last-mile deliveries. 'I was awarded contracts with other logistics companies in the past, but it was like, 'Do you want a contract? Do you have a truck? OK, bring the truck and start running loads the next day,' Dubon said. 'The vetting process with Amazon is just a different world. When I started seeing all of these things and the level of the structure, I knew I was onto something that was going to be the future.' Today, Inner City Logistics ranks among Amazon's top-performing DSPs. Dubon's team of more than 100 employees operates 38 Amazon routes across San Francisco, Milpitas, San Jose and Fremont, scaling to as many as 100 routes during peak periods. Discovering the recipe for business success Amazon's training, structure and support to its DSPs has benefitted Dubon's other entrepreneurial efforts, including L'Roco Grill, a Salvadoran restaurant in San Jose. Dubon's wife, Lady Ruiz, runs the restaurant and handles backend responsibilities for Inner City Logistics. 'I used to operate businesses with a fear that came from not knowing if what we were doing was right or wrong because we didn't have that guidance,' he said. 'We learned a lot about how to run a good business. It's been a big change.' Amazon's training also underscored the importance of intentionally building your company culture to serve two types of customers: external customers who purchase goods and services and internal customers who work for your business, Dubon said. 'That concept alone makes a huge difference on how you walk into your building and how you treat people,' he said. 'Not only the people who come in to spend money at your business but also your employees because, ultimately, they are your clients. You need to make them both happy.' Elevating entrepreneurship Dubon's passion for entrepreneurship and professional development extends beyond his businesses. He's helped one employee go on to open his own DSP business, and two more are on their way to doing the same. Dubon has become a champion for Road to Ownership, an accelerated training program Amazon offers to help high-performing DSP employees become DSP owners. The 16-week program includes classroom-style training and mentorship by a successful DSP owner. People who graduate from Road to Ownership receive a $30,000 grant to help them launch their businesses. 'I pride myself on developing the best people and taking them up to the next level,' Dubon said. 'We've done that in the restaurant business, too, my wife and I. This is what I love doing.' The first person Dubon mentored through the Road to Ownership program was Jose Mejia, who started working for Inner City Logistics as a helper supporting the company's drivers. He moved up through the company quickly, serving as a driver, then a trainer, dispatcher and operations manager. 'This is probably the guy with the best work ethic that I've ever met,' Dubon said. 'He is an extremely amazing guy, and I thought he deserved an opportunity for something even better.' Mejia has continued his professional growth. He received a Rising Star award from Amazon for having the best DSP launch in 2023. Today, he has close to 100 employees in the Sacramento region. It is a success story Dubon said he hopes to help repeat by supporting more entrepreneurs. 'I have a motto in my company,' Dubon said. 'I want you to come to my company as a driver, but if you leave, I want you to leave as a business owner.'

I test streaming devices for a living and I can't wait to see a new Apple TV 4K — here's why

It's been three long years since Apple launched a new set-top box. Although ripe with features and tons of value — in spite of its hefty $129 starting price — the Apple TV 4K still proves that it's one of the best streaming devices. There's still room for improvement, however, especially now that Apple has better processors on the latest iOS and iPadOS devices. With rumors still circulating on a new Apple TV 4K expected in 2025, it's time for this streaming box to get all the love it needs to meet a wide range of standards. Here's all the features and specs an updated Apple TV device needs for greatness. There's one thing I've come to realize that's crucial with these types of products: ultra portability. I've been testing tons of different streaming devices over the past few years, and there's one thing I've come to realize that's crucial with these types of products: ultra portability. While you will, for the most part, be using it at home to bypass a TV's existing interface, it's pretty useful having an on-the-go streaming device with all of the best streaming services signed into your accounts. This means at Airbnbs and hotels, you don't have to worry about singing in and out of the apps you want to use on the TV in your room. For a great example of a powerful, portable streaming device, look no further than the new Roku Streaming Stick Plus, which launched last month. It's the slimmest of its kind and still offers heightened performance despite its smaller size. Apple knows design better than most and while I do like the boxy look of the existing Apple TV 4K, it definitely could use a slimmer profile. The best approach, I think, is to have multiple different kinds of Apple TV devices to fit various needs. Amazon's Fire TV does this very well with a Fire TV Cube and Fire TV Stick that are both vastly different in performance and sizes. Not everyone might agree with this take. But the days of needing a streaming set-top box that looks like a mini PC are long gone. Some people just want convenience and using your iPad or even a MacBook Air to watch content on-the-go isn't always ideal. Both Samsung and LG offer Xbox Game Pass on their individual interfaces; it's time for Apple to follow suit. One of the biggest missing pieces on Apple's streaming box is a broader range of gaming support. Apple Arcade does exist on the platform, but it pales in comparison to the wider net cast by some of the best cloud gaming services. Both Samsung and LG offer Xbox Game Pass on their individual interfaces; it's time for Apple to follow suit. The biggest obstacles here are the older processors and wireless components. This not only includes the device's main CPU, but also the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips to boot. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has a new Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip in the works that "is tightly integrated with its other components." This could give the new Apple TV a huge leg up against its competition, especially if it also manages to leverage one of the newer bionic chips like the A17 Pro or A18. These would not only allow the new device broader gaming capabilities, like playing Death Stranding: Director's Cut right on your Apple TV, but also enhance AI features as well. It also lends credence to the rumors of an Apple tvOS makeover requiring a much stronger chipset. It's about time Apple stepped into the gaming sphere a bit more, and a refreshed streaming device could be its big ticket to get there. Although feature-rich and premium-priced, the Apple TV 4K isn't without several missing pieces. It manages to wrangle Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, but still misses the boat on key passthrough settings. It's a major point of contention for the device, and a refresh definitely needs additional codecs and passthrough options to improve the overall soundscape of the device. Problematically, Apple TV 4K is also without multichannel support via HDMI and, surprisingly, lacks the ability to play 24-bit Hi-res music. It's pretty remarkable, especially given that some tracks on Apple Music even support it, meaning you can't even get the most out of the platform you're paying for on one of its most premium hardware products. Another blunder is hands-free voice controls. That sounds absurd in the year 2025, but the Apple TV 4K doesn't support any, and that's rough in the face of cheaper options like the Roku Ultra, Google TV Streamer, and Fire TV Stick HD all having their own well-rounded voice assistants. Apple needs to step its game up when it comes to wider smart home integration. Finally, Apple needs to step its game up when it comes to wider smart home integration. Streaming sticks are fast becoming the hubs for our smarter products, allowing us to control the ecosystem of devices scattered across the home network. While the Apple TV 4K does have a Thread board router for Matter support, it doesn't have functional AI to assist with more complicated automations and voiced controls like you get on Google. Thus, Apple Intelligence is a key feature needed on a newer device. This could bring voice controls and wider home networking capabilities into the mix in one fell swoop.

Home Depot (HD) Eyes Stock Market Payoff With Contrarian Tariff Strategy

Home Depot (HD) is charting a different course on tariffs. While competitors like Walmart (WMT) plan to raise prices on tariff-impacted goods, Home Depot aims to maintain steady prices, thanks to its flexible product lines and diversified supply chain. Although the company remains exposed to broader macroeconomic pressures, such as a slowdown in housing development, I believe it's well-positioned for a strong rebound as conditions stabilize. As outlined in the following sections, this underpins my long-term bullish outlook on the stock. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Currently, U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports stand at 30%, down from the previous 145% following a temporary 90-day agreement between the U.S. and China, set to expire in early July. Unlike many of its peers, particularly Walmart, Home Depot is less reliant on imports, with over 50% of its products sourced domestically. The company has been actively reducing its dependency on any single country since the early days of the Trump administration. This strategic positioning could allow Home Depot to gain market share, especially if tariff-driven price disparities widen. While some interpret Home Depot's decision to hold prices as a form of virtue signaling or political calculation, possibly aimed at avoiding friction with former President Trump, such speculation remains unconfirmed. What is clear, however, is that Home Depot's lower tariff exposure provides it with a competitive advantage in the current trade environment. Home Depot remains particularly exposed to pressures in the housing market, as a significant portion of its business comes from professionals such as contractors, builders, and plumbers. On its most recent earnings call, the company acknowledged that elevated interest rates are prompting many homeowners to delay major renovation projects. The broader housing landscape isn't offering much relief either—30-year mortgage rates remain above 7%, and home sales have slowed to their weakest pace since 2009. These high rates are creating a 'lock-in effect,' where homeowners are reluctant to trade up and give up lower mortgage rates, ultimately reducing housing turnover and shifting demand toward smaller, DIY-style projects. Despite these headwinds, Home Depot is well-positioned for a rebound when housing activity improves, which many experts expect to occur by 2026. The company's scale provides it with strong bargaining power to help contain vendor-driven price increases. Additionally, Home Depot is reinforcing its focus on the professional segment, highlighted by its $18.25 billion acquisition of SRS Distribution last year, a strategic move to deepen its footprint in the pro market. Despite ongoing headwinds, Home Depot reaffirmed its 2025 earnings outlook, projecting 2.8% sales growth, a steady gross margin of 33.4%, and an operating margin of 13%. This underscores the resilience of its business model at a time when many retailers are trimming their forecasts—Target, for instance, lowered its fiscal 2025 guidance just last week. On Wall Street, HD has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 20 Buy, six Hold, and zero Sell ratings in the past three months. HD's average price target of $428.74 implies an upside potential of 16% over the next twelve months. Earlier this month, analyst Steven Zaccone of Citi gave HD a Buy rating with a $433 price target. He highlighted Home Depot's 'ability to maintain stable pricing indicates its significant scale and operational efficiency, which are crucial in a competitive retail environment.' Moreover, he believes the company's recent strategic focus on large professional clients will pay off in the long term. KeyBanc analyst Bradley Thomas is more cautious on HD. He has a Hold rating on the stock. The analyst noted 'softer trends for home improvement professionals' and believes that 'elevated long-term rates and a high valuation may limit near-term upside for shares.' Home Depot's valuation is admittedly high. Its Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 24.6 trades at a 50%-plus premium to the sector median. This suggests that Home Depot will have to not only reach, but beat expectations to keep its premium valuation. Home Depot's decision to hold prices steady while competitors raise theirs highlights a key strategic advantage—one rooted in strong supply chain diversification and smart market positioning. This approach could ultimately serve as a textbook example of how to navigate retail challenges during economic downturns. Additionally, Home Depot's recent investments in its pro services segment are likely to pay off once the housing market begins to recover. That said, the current economic uncertainty may linger longer than hoped, meaning it could take time before these strengths are fully reflected in the company's financial performance. For that reason, Home Depot is best viewed through a long-term lens. Despite its premium valuation, I believe HD remains a strong hold until macro conditions improve.
