Released in September 2024, the Apple AirPods 4 come in two versions: a standard model and one with active noise cancellation. Key upgrades from the AirPods 3 include the Apple H2 chip (replacing the H1), Bluetooth 5.3 (versus 5.0), enhanced IP54 dust and water resistance (improved from IPX4), a USB-C charging port (instead of Lightning), and a more reliable optical in-ear sensor.
AirPods 4 with ANC vs. AirPods Pro: Which Should You Choose?
The AirPods 4 with noise cancellation closely resembles the pricier AirPods Pro 2, but with a crucial difference: AirPods 4 are open-ear earbuds with fixed tips, while AirPods Pro 2 are in-ear with adjustable tips. Both ANC models offer Transparency and Conversational Awareness modes.
Currently, the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation is about $20 cheaper than the also-discounted AirPods Pro 2. The decision hinges on your priorities: comfort versus performance. In-ear earbuds generally provide superior noise cancellation and audio quality due to passive isolation, but open-ear designs are often more comfortable for extended wear.
