Released in September 2024, the Apple AirPods 4 are available in two versions: a standard model and one with active noise cancellation. Both share similar features, with the key difference being noise cancellation. The AirPods 4 boasts upgrades over its predecessor, the AirPods 3, including the Apple H2 chip (replacing the H1), Bluetooth 5.3 (up from 5.0), improved IP54 dust and water resistance (versus IPX4), a USB-C charging port (instead of Lightning), and an optical in-ear sensor for enhanced detection.

AirPods 4 with ANC vs. AirPods Pro: Which Should You Choose?

The AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation closely resembles the pricier AirPods Pro 2, but with a crucial distinction: the AirPods 4 uses an open-ear design with fixed tips, unlike the in-ear, adjustable-tip AirPods Pro. Both ANC models include Transparency Mode and Conversational Awareness.

Currently, the noise-canceling AirPods 4 are approximately $20 less expensive than the also-discounted AirPods Pro 2. The decision hinges on your priorities: comfort versus performance. In-ear earbuds generally offer superior noise cancellation and audio quality due to passive isolation, while open-ear models provide a more comfortable, less intrusive fit.
