The Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds sit at the very end of the signal path, the part that actually reaches your ears. This version adds Active Noise Cancellation, which reduces outside noise before it reaches you, so you can focus on what's playing. The H2 chip also powers Adaptive Audio, which blends ANC and Transparency automatically.
We'd consider these for anyone who wants noise reduction without stepping up to a sealed in-ear design. The open fit keeps things comfortable and stable according to Apple's redesign, and the refined contour and shorter stem are meant for all-day wear.
For calls, Voice Isolation uses computational audio to reduce background noise and clarify your voice in loud places. That's a real benefit if you take meetings from a busy street or open office.
Pairing, controls and charging choices
Pairing is handled by holding the case near your device and tapping Connect. Once connected, you control playback with quick-press controls on the stem, or by saying Siri. Siri Interactions let you nod or shake your head to respond, which is handy when your hands are full.
The charging case is wireless and works with an Apple Watch charger, a USB-C cable, or any Qi-certified pad. Battery life depends on how you use ANC. With noise cancellation on, Apple rates up to 4 hours per charge and 20 hours total with the case. Turn ANC off and that stretches to 30 hours.
Apple's spatial audio feature uses head tracking to place sound around you for movies and games. The earbuds and case are rated IP54 for dust, sweat and water resistance, so rain and hard workouts are within their stated limits.
Which rooms and routines fit these buds
These make the most sense for commuting, open-plan offices, and workouts where you want some quiet without a tight seal. The open design keeps you aware of traffic and conversations, and Conversation Awareness lowers your music automatically when someone speaks to you.
Skip them if you need maximum isolation for loud trains or flights, since open-fit earbuds let more sound in than sealed ones. Also check that your phone or computer supports the features you want, and confirm the charging method you already own works with the case. At $129.97, this sits below the typical price over the last 90 days.
One practical check before you buy: confirm the return window in case the open fit doesn't sit securely in your ears.
From source to room: These suit commutes, offices and workouts where you want some quiet without a sealed in-ear fit, and they're less ideal when you need maximum isolation.
