Make this short. I’ve owned every generation of AirPods. I know total waste of money. The pros (both generations) although noise cancellation is better. For me at least I can’t stand the rubber tips. These obviously do not have those and the noise cancellation for noises like an airplane engine or maybe a constant hum work really well. Only area they fall short in that department is high pitch things. But that’s as expected. The sound quality in my opinion is noticeably better than the Gen 3’s. Personally if you don’t like the rubber tips on the pros. These are a no brainer and are the best AirPods Apple has offered yet. Spend the extra get the active noise cancellation. You can toggle it on and off if you don’t like it. But better to have and not always want on ... MoreMake this short. I’ve owned every generation of AirPods. I know total waste of money.

As someone who finds the tips on most in-ear buds uncomfortable, I was looking for something that didn't include a tip, fit well and included noise cancelling.These latest generation AirPods meet all these requirements.Having previously purchased the 3rd generation these 4th generation are a noticeable improvement in fit. The noise cancelling is surprisingly good despite the lack of the tips. Car noises in a busy street drop to just the sound of tyres on the road as if all the cars are electric. Commutes are a pleasure with most noise, conversation and announcements reduced.Yes, the battery life of the AirPods has reduced and might be an issue for long flights but the case can charge them quickly.Worth upgrading from previous versions? Definitely!!

There are two ways to compare the AirPods 4 ANC. One way is as an upgrade from the AirPods 3 and the other is comparing to the AirPods Pro 2. Compared to the 3, these are a significant upgrade. Sound quality has improved, the case has additional features, and battery life is on par with the 3. The case itself is noticeably smaller. I find the fit to be excellent and I like these better than the silicon tips of the AirPods Pro 2. Features like ANC and Transparency mode are new to the baseline AirPods. Considering that these don’t have a tight seal, the ANC is quite good. External sounds can still be heard, but are considerably muted…especially if the sound is a steady.Comparing to the AirPods Pro 2, the Pros have much better active noise cancellation, will have the ...

After an hour or so, I find the silicon tips to be a little irritating.I am very happy with the acquisition of my AirPods 4 ANC and I wear them in low volatility noise situations with great delight!

I've been using the Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for a few weeks now, and I'm thoroughly impressed.

I own the AirPods Pro2 but prefer unsealed earbuds for specific occasions. Here is the truth…the good and bad.Pros:- These get loud and they have good bass- The ANC is good in certain situations- Transparency Mode and the mics are the best of any earbuds- The sound quality is great for music, podcasts, movies, and gaming (Call of Duty mobile is very loud)- Spacial Audio and Personalized Spatial Audio work great and enhance the audio experience- Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness are features you can’t live without once you use them- Very comfortable and no ear fatigue wearing them all day (if they fit)Cons:- Battery life is average at best with 4-5 hours- Only comes in white- This style earbuds won’t fit everyoneBottom line…these check every ...

These are easy to carry, they are comfortable, and they sound good. If you have an Android phone try another option. *Disclaimer…with ANY earbud the most important thing is FIT.
If, like me, you were never a fan of Airpods Pro because of the silicone tips, and weren't interested in the 3rd Gen Airpods because they didn't seem that different, THESE might be for you. I picked them up because I wanted to see how the shape, sound, and features were compared to my 2nd Gen Airpods (which I always thought were more than adequate for my everyday needs).Needless to say, I am very happy with my decision. The sound quality on these is amazing. The shape takes a bit of getting used to, but is by no means uncomfortable or at risk of falling out. I was just used to the old school shape that Apple headphones have been forever (including the original Airpods). These are definitely wider and shorter. The controls are awesome, I definitely like pinching vs ...

I was just used to the old school shape that Apple headphones have been forever (including the original Airpods). These are definitely wider and shorter. The controls are awesome, I definitely like pinching vs tapping. And the features (specifically transparancy and the ANC) are what elevate the whole thing to a 100% recommendation from me. I don't think it would be worth getting the 4th Gen here without the ANC.I use Airpods when I mow the lawn, do yardwork, etc. Having ANC while using a lawnmower, or using a leafblower - without those goofy silicone tips - is an absolute game changer in my opinion.So, in closing, if you already have the Pros, you can probably move on, BUT, if you have the 2nd Gen Airpods, and have been waiting for a worth successor/ upgrade, I really think these are it.
The AirPods 4 with ANC offer an improved experience over the AirPods Pro 2, especially for users who struggle to get a good fit with silicone tips. One of the biggest benefits is how well these earbuds stay in place, even during intense activities like heavy exercise, significantly reducing the chances of sound leaks or fall-offs.Enhanced ANC for Poor Silicone Tip FitsFor users who found the ANC on AirPods Pro 2 less effective due to an imperfect fit with silicone tips, the AirPods 4 deliver a marked improvement. Their secure fit ensures a more consistent seal, leading to better noise cancellation. In fact, the ANC performs better on the AirPods 4 for those who cannot achieve a good fit with silicone tips.

MoreThe AirPods 4 with ANC offer an improved experience over the AirPods Pro 2, especially for users who struggle to get a good fit with silicone tips.

Their secure fit ensures a more consistent seal, leading to better noise cancellation. In fact, the ANC performs better on the AirPods 4 for those who cannot achieve a good fit with silicone tips. By staying firmly in place, the ANC on AirPods 4 can actually outperform that of the Pro 2, making external noise less intrusive in various environments.Perfect for Active LifestylesWhether you're running, working out, or engaging in heavy movement, the AirPods 4 excel in staying put. Their fit ensures there’s little risk of falling out or sound leakage, a problem common with earbuds that rely on silicone tips. This stability keeps the sound steady, preventing interruptions or dips in quality during vigorous activities. The AirPods 4 are therefore ideal for users with an active lifestyle who need earbuds that can handle motion without requiring constant adjustments.Closer to AirPods Pro 2 in FeaturesActive Noise Cancellation (ANC)The standout feature that aligns the AirPods 4 with the AirPods Pro 2 is their Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Both models deliver top-tier ANC performance, effectively cutting down on ambient noise in environments like airplanes, busy offices, or crowded streets. Unlike many other earbuds, the AirPods 4’s ANC performance rivals that of the Pro 2, making them a go-to choice for users who need noise isolation but don’t want the in-ear feel of silicone tips.Transparency ModeLike the AirPods Pro 2, the AirPods 4 feature Transparency Mode, allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings without removing the earbuds. This mode works fluidly and naturally, allowing external sounds to pass through seamlessly.Audio QualityWhen it comes to sound, the AirPods 4 closely mirror the AirPods Pro 2. Both feature high-excursion drivers and custom amplifiers, delivering rich, balanced audio with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. They also offer spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, providing an immersive experience for music, movies, and calls. This advanced audio performance sets the AirPods 4 apart from more basic models, offering a level of richness and depth that enhances the overall listening experience.Battery LifeBattery performance on the AirPods 4 is comparable to the Pro 2, offering around 4 hours of playback with ANC, and 5 hours without. However, the charging case extends total usage to 30 hours, matching the longevity of the AirPods Pro 2. This extended battery life is suitable for long periods of use without frequent recharges.No Skin Detection or Hearing Health FeaturesWhile the AirPods Pro 2 comes equipped with Skin Detection sensors and future Hearing Health features, the AirPods 4 omit these, offering a simpler experience. However, the AirPods 4 still include many premium features that elevate them above more basic options on the market.Final ThoughtsThe AirPods 4 with ANC share far more in common with the AirPods Pro 2 than with other models. With premium features such as Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, and enhanced sound quality, the AirPods 4 deliver a Pro-level experience in a more comfortable, open-ear design. While missing some advanced sensors like skin detectionand Hearing Health monitoring, the AirPods 4’s similarities to the Pro 2 in terms of performance and noise cancellation make them an excellent option for users who want Pro features without silicone tips.For those who value ANC, premium sound, and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem—but don’t like the in-ear design of the Pro series—the AirPods 4 is a godsend.
Pleasant surprise!

While I own 1st-gen & now usb-C 2nd-Gen APPs, these are my EDC pods.- While ~2-3x greater ANC, Pros are intrusive, require readjustments, and are less easy to just pop-in & pop-out, when out or around conversations.IMO , these are a huge boost in sound-quality & family were surprised at how "muffled" the rest of the world was, speaking in front of them with pods in, then out, put an expression of happy-surprise.Trust me, try these out, ...

Again, manage expectations in what you are getting here, these are meant to replace 2nd/3rd gen open-ear Airpods, however, experience will amaze you in how these take-over all needs between regular and pros :)Enjoy!
I am truly surprised by the AirPods 4 w ANC. I have been trying for years all different types of headphone and earphones and all somewhat meh. I have AirPods Pro 2 and they are good for sure, but the tips bug me after a few hours. I have never really been able to wear regular AirPods as they never fit right, surprisingly these fit amazing and actually, for me, have a better seal than the AirPods Pro 2 as I have never found a tip size or style that really fit right.Fit and Comfort: Surprisingly amazing. I can wear them for hours with little to no ear fatigue or pain. They are very comfortable given they are plastic against your ears.ANC: Surprisingly good! Are they as good as Air Pods Pro 2 or other "sealed" ones it depends on the noise. I went to a loud ... MoreI am truly surprised by the AirPods 4 w ANC.

Are they as good as Air Pods Pro 2 or other "sealed" ones it depends on the noise. I went to a loud restaurant I frequent think a lot of people talking and fairly loud music etc and the APP2 drowned out a fair amount of noise but not all of it, I placed these in and in that environment they blocked almost all of the noise. Again I think this is due to the seal that my ears obtain with these but I was truly amazed. wasn't expecting that. They drown out AC but if there are multiple AC's going at the same time or a fan and AC some noise will slip through. So it depends on the noise and orientation of your head but for me they hav performed extremely well. I am kind of shocked given the technology I wasn't expecting much.Overall: If you can do tips, then the APP2. are probably the better bet given the on ear controls, etc. But sound wise these are quite good, come with the Apple auto pairing and the ANC is pretty amazing. Is it perfect no, but what do you expect for the design? For me they are pretty great. If you don't like the seal these are probably the closest you can get to a nice experience. The other features like transparency and awareness and spatial are all APP 2 features and they work great as well.
My full on detailed review after 3 days of use.Okay, first things first, ANC is solid for what the buds are and without the eartip. It has no issues knocking an aircon out of the room or the buzzing of a refrigerator.Positives:This may be apples SMALLEST available package of any electronics.The case itself is probably the smallest case ever released onto the open market, which makes it easily portably in a bag, a pocket, or a purse. This is also in my opinion, the BEST case on the market for these reasons.These buds are COMFORTABLE so long as they fit. I had my girlfriend try these and she said they weren’t great, but I can happily wear these for their entire battery life with no ear fatigue.Finally, these have the best transparency mode of any buds I’ve ...

I had my girlfriend try these and she said they weren’t great, but I can happily wear these for their entire battery life with no ear fatigue.Finally, these have the best transparency mode of any buds I’ve ever tried (I’ve owned 8 or 9 wireless buds at this point in my life) and it honestly feels like I’m not wearing anything.Negatives:For what these buds are, they’re overpriced for sure. These should be about $150 max.The buds themselves only have 4 hour battery lives, which means if you’re someone who wears buds at work or some other public environment, you’re gonna have to charge em at some point.ANC isn’t great, if you’re in a noisy area, you’re gonna have to turn your music or media up quite a lot to actually drown the noise out. This IS to be expected but it’s still a bit of a downside (still the best “open ear” ANC on the market though).Overall I’d give these an 8/10. They sound pretty good as all airpods have, they’re well built, and they provide a strong package.Personally, I like them more than the AirPods Pro 2 but these are overpriced. If you’re debating on these or the pros 2 and don’t care about price, get the Pros 2, but if you’re looking for a good set of buds WITH AN APPLE DEVICE while also trying to save a buck, these are a great choice.
