Apple’s newest AirPods just dropped to $99.99 at Amazon, and I can already hear my wallet sighing in defeat. If you’ve been using the same pair of earbuds for the past few years and they're starting to sound like a popcorn kettle, it's time to upgrade. These are the latest AirPods, freshly redesigned for better comfort and sound, and Amazon is already shaving $29 off the price. That doesn’t happen often with new Apple gear.

Fourth-gen AirPods aren’t just a rehash either. Apple made some real changes starting with the design. They’ve got a shorter stem and a new contour that’s supposed to be more stable and comfortable for all-day wear. No more constantly readjusting them every five seconds. The H2 chip inside means improved sound, faster pairing, and that classic Apple magic where they just work.

SEE ALSO: I've just scored Apple’s 10th-Gen iPad for under $260 at Amazon. That’s its lowest price in 30 days.

One of the best upgrades is Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, which makes your music and movies feel like they’re happening around you instead of just blasting into your ears. It’s not quite AirPods Pro-level immersive, but it’s a step up from previous models. If you take a lot of calls, the Voice Isolation feature helps cut out background noise, so you won’t sound like you’re calling from inside a wind tunnel. Battery life is solid, with up to five hours of listening time per charge and 30 hours total with the charging case.

• Price: $99.99 $129

• Retailer: Amazon

• Chip: H2 headphone chip

• Audio Features: Personalized Spatial Audio, Adaptive EQ, Custom high-excursion Apple driver

• Microphones: Dual beamforming mics, Inward-facing mic, Speech-detecting accelerometer

• Battery Life: Up to 5 hours per charge, 30 hours total with case

• Charging Case: USB-C, 10% smaller than previous model

• Resistance Rating: IP54 dust, sweat, and water-resistant

• Connectivity: Bluetooth, effortless pairing with Apple devices

• Controls: Force sensor for music and calls, “Hey Siri” voice activation

Speaking of the case, it has been redesigned too. It’s 10% smaller and finally comes with USB-C charging, so if you’ve already switched over to the new MacBooks or iPads, you won’t need to carry an extra cable just for your earbuds. They’re also IP54-rated for dust, sweat, and water resistance, which means they can handle workouts and get caught in the rain without a problem.

If you want Active Noise Cancellation, you’ll have to shell out more for the higher-end model, but if you’re just looking for reliable, easy-to-use AirPods that sound great and fit better, these are a steal at this price. AirPods don’t go on sale often, and when they do, they don’t stay there for long. $99 for a brand-new pair? That’s about as good as it gets. Might want to grab them before Amazon remembers they don’t have to discount Apple products this much.
