AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

Type

Earbud

1. First Time for Standard AirPods This is the first time Apple has added Active Noise Cancellation to their non‑Pro “standard” AirPods line — that opens up high‑end features to more people. 2. Open‑Fit Design + ANC You get noise cancellation without silicone ear tips. For many users, the discomfort of in‑ear tips is a dealbreaker — this hits a sweet spot: some noise blocking, better than past open models, while retaining comfort. 3. Adaptive Features • Adaptive Audio that changes mode depending on your environment. • Conversation Awareness — music volume lowers + transparency activates when you speak. Useful in real‑world settings, makes using them more natural. 4. Transparency Mode Letting ambient sound in when needed (for awareness or safety) while still giving the option of blocking out noise. People like being able to switch between modes easily. 5. Strong Audio & Chip Upgrades • Uses the H2 chip, same as in AirPods Pro 2, giving good processing power for ANC, voice isolation, spatial audio, etc. • Custom high‑excursion drivers, adaptive EQ, personalized spatial audio and an improved amplifier — meaning not just “silence” but better sound when listening. 6. Battery & Case Perks • Fair battery life with ANC on: about 4 hours listening time per charge with ANC enabled, more with it off. • Total time with case still competitive (~20 hours with ANC on, ~30 with off) so people feel they’re not compromising too much. • The case has wireless charging, works with Apple Watch chargers, has a speaker for “Find My” support. 7. Build Quality & Extras • IP54 rating: dust, sweat, and water resistance help for everyday use. • Vent system to reduce pressure (makes wearing for long periods more comfortable).
