The AirPods 4 showcase Apple’s commitment to precision engineering, boasting an open-ear design that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing performance. Apple employed cutting-edge technologies like 3D photogrammetry and laser topography, analyzing millions of ear shapes and data points to create earbuds that fit comfortably for most users. This meticulous design effort has resulted in a product that feels natural in the ear, making AirPods 4 Apple’s most comfortable and ergonomically sound earbuds to date.
The addition of a new force sensor on the stem enhances user control, allowing for quick actions like playing or pausing music, and muting or ending calls with a single press. This intuitive control scheme, combined with the overall sleek and compact form factor, makes daily use of the AirPods 4 feel effortless.
AirPods 4 deliver a notable leap in sound quality compared to previous generations. They feature a completely new acoustic architecture, supported by a low-distortion driver and high dynamic range amplifier. This results in a more immersive listening experience, with clearer highs, richer mids, and deeper bass. Apple’s H2 chip powers many of these audio enhancements, enabling features like Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking. This provides an incredibly immersive experience, especially when watching videos or playing games.
The H2 chip also introduces Voice Isolation, which makes call quality crisper by filtering out background noise, ensuring that your voice comes through clearly even in noisy environments. Siri interactions are smoother than ever, with the added convenience of nodding or shaking your head to respond to Siri prompts—yet another example of how the AirPods 4 cater to a hands-free lifestyle.
Active Noise Cancellation in an Open-Ear Design
The most groundbreaking feature of AirPods 4 is undoubtedly the introduction of Active Noise Cancellation in an open-ear design—a first for Apple. Utilizing upgraded microphones, computational audio, and the H2 chip’s power, AirPods 4 with ANC reduce ambient noise in a wide range of environments, from bustling city streets to noisy flights. The open-ear design makes this accomplishment even more impressive, as ANC traditionally relies on ear-sealing designs to work effectively.
In addition to ANC, the AirPods 4 with ANC model also offers Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio, and Conversation Awareness. These features blend ambient sound and music seamlessly, dynamically adjusting based on your surroundings, and lowering the volume when you start speaking to someone nearby, ensuring you stay connected to the world around you without having to constantly adjust settings manually.
While the AirPods 4 bring plenty to the table, Apple has also revolutionized the health-tech space with its AirPods Pro 2. These earbuds are the world’s first to offer an end-to-end hearing health experience. Equipped with features like Hearing Protection, Hearing Test, and a clinical-grade Hearing Aid, the AirPods Pro 2 are designed to support users with mild to moderate hearing loss.
The Hearing Test is simple, allowing users to check their hearing from home using pure-tone audiometry, with results saved securely in the Health app. The Hearing Aid feature, based on this test, dynamically adjusts sound in real-time, ensuring a personalized auditory experience across all media. This combination of features provides a seamless and cost-effective solution for hearing assistance, especially for those who may not need a full-time hearing aid.
The AirPods Max line also received updates, with five new colors—midnight, starlight, blue, purple, and orange. In addition to their stylish look, the AirPods Max now support USB-C charging, making them more practical for modern users who prefer to travel light with fewer cables. Despite these aesthetic changes, the AirPods Max continue to deliver industry-leading audio quality, especially for users seeking the ultimate over-ear listening experience
Battery life remains a strong point, with AirPods 4 offering up to 24 hours of listening time when paired with the charging case. The case itself is now 10% smaller in volume and supports USB-C charging, aligning with the rest of Apple’s product ecosystem. For added convenience, AirPods 4 with ANC can also be charged using an Apple Watch charger or Qi-certified wireless charger. This multi-option charging flexibility enhances portability, making it easier to keep your AirPods powered up no matter where you are.
