Launched in September 2024, the Apple AirPods 4 comes in two variants, with the primary difference being the noise-canceling feature in the higher-priced model. The AirPods 4 introduces several enhancements over the AirPods 3, aligning with contemporary standards. These include the updated Apple H2 chip (replacing the H1), support for Bluetooth 5.3 (up from Bluetooth 5.0), an improved IP54 dust and water resistance rating (versus the IPX4 of its predecessor), USB Type-C connectivity (instead of Lightning), and an optical in-ear sensor that replaces the older skin detect sensor for better reliability.

Should you get the AirPods 4 with ANC over the AirPods Pro?

When deciding between the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and the AirPods Pro 2, consider their key differences. The AirPods 4 with ANC is an open-ear design with non-adjustable tips, while the AirPods Pro 2 features an in-ear design with adjustable tips. Both models offer features like Transparency Mode and Conversational Awareness. Currently, the AirPods 4 with ANC is $20 cheaper than the AirPods Pro 2, which is also on sale. Your choice might depend on whether you prioritize comfort or performance. In-ear models typically provide superior noise cancellation and sound quality due to passive isolation, whereas open-ear models are less intrusive and generally more comfortable.
