Amazon has been slipping discounts onto various models ahead of Black Friday instead of saving them all for the day itself. The listing also calls the Air Pro 4 its pick for best budget earbuds, so this is a recommendation built on an earlier verdict, not a fresh review.\n\nThe listing says the earbuds use adaptive ANC (active noise cancellation, where microphones detect outside sound and cancel it out) that blocks up to 50dB of noise. It lists battery life of up to 11 hours per charge, stretching to 52 hours with the charging case. It also quotes its own earlier review, which said the earbuds \"can adeptly handle a multipoint connection, feature a well-rounded sound profile with variation thanks to the in-app equalizer,\" and \"offer manually adjustable ANC, which isn't even a given on premium noise-canceling earbuds.\" Multipoint means staying connected to two devices at once, say a phone and a laptop.\n\nThe practical question is whether to wait. By the listing's own numbers, a buyer who holds out for Black Friday could save at most a few dollars unless the price breaks through its previous floor. That makes today's price close to the best case on record.\n\nThe spread is also worth a look. A $79.90 full price that has been undercut by $29.39 at its lowest point reads less like a benchmark and more like a ceiling.","[\"earfun\",\"earbuds\",\"black-friday\",\"deals\"]","2026-10-23T11:41:27.000Z","2026-10-23T12:28:25.941Z","2026-11-08T00:12:14.157Z","published","Name Mashable as the source of the 'best budget earbuds' pick, the $50.51 low and the quoted review language, instead of the unexplained 'the listing', 'its pick' and 'its own earlier review', and cut the unsupported closing claim that the $79.90 full price 'reads more like a ceiling' than a benchmark.",[24,30,34,38],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Name Mashable as the source of the 'best budget earbuds' pick and the quoted review language instead of the unexplained 'the reviewers', and cut the unsupported claim that early sales set the market baseline and rivals will respond with their own cuts in the coming weeks.","open",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Name Mashable as the source of the 'best budget earbuds' pick and the quoted review language instead of 'the site that published the deal listing' and 'its own review', and cut the unsupported claim that the 'real price looks closer to $50 than $80' (plus the speculative sold-out-color risk), since one discount and one record low do not establish that.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"Name Mashable as the source of the 'best budget earbuds' pick and the quoted review language instead of the unexplained 'the reviewers', and cut or support the unsourced claims that the specs are 'manufacturer's rated figures' and that manual ANC and multipoint were once premium-only features.",{"id":39,"reviewer":26,"round":40,"reason":22,"status":29},"editor-r4",4,null,"deals",[44,45,46,42],"earfun","earbuds","black-friday",[48],{"name":49,"url":50},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Foct-23-earfun-air-pro-4-deal",0,{"sections":53},[54,59,64,68,73,78,83,88,93,98,103,108,113,118],{"name":55,"slug":56,"count":57,"latest_published_at":58},"AI","ai",7110,"2026-11-08T14:34:09.000Z",{"name":60,"slug":61,"count":62,"latest_published_at":63},"Security","security",1099,"2026-11-08T15:24:01.000Z",{"name":65,"slug":42,"count":66,"latest_published_at":67},"Deals",620,"2026-11-08T08:00:00.000Z",{"name":69,"slug":70,"count":71,"latest_published_at":72},"Policy","policy",604,"2026-11-07T15:48:26.000Z",{"name":74,"slug":75,"count":76,"latest_published_at":77},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",336,"2026-11-08T21:00:00.000Z",{"name":79,"slug":80,"count":81,"latest_published_at":82},"Hardware","hardware",316,"2026-11-08T14:36:39.000Z",{"name":84,"slug":85,"count":86,"latest_published_at":87},"Science","science",222,"2026-11-07T16:19:17.000Z",{"name":89,"slug":90,"count":91,"latest_published_at":92},"Software","software",154,"2026-11-08T15:42:52.000Z",{"name":94,"slug":95,"count":96,"latest_published_at":97},"Startups","startups",150,"2026-11-06T16:50:01.000Z",{"name":99,"slug":100,"count":101,"latest_published_at":102},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",125,"2026-11-06T22:15:59.000Z",{"name":104,"slug":105,"count":106,"latest_published_at":107},"General","general",111,"2026-11-08T21:27:29.000Z",{"name":109,"slug":110,"count":111,"latest_published_at":112},"Gaming","gaming",94,"2026-11-08T20:52:05.000Z",{"name":114,"slug":115,"count":116,"latest_published_at":117},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":119,"slug":120,"count":121,"latest_published_at":122},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
