Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

The Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation introduces advanced noise-control technology to an open-ear form factor, delivering active silencing without the pressure of in-ear silicone ear tips. Rebuilt with refined acoustic architecture and precise internal contouring, these earbuds provide exceptional stability, breathability, and all-day comfort across diverse ear shapes.

Driven by the powerful Apple H2 headphone chip, AirPods 4 with ANC offers an intelligent suite of listening modes. Active Noise Cancellation uses upgraded computational microphones to neutralize external ambient rumbles like airplane engines, city traffic, and office chatter. Adaptive Audio dynamically blends ANC and Transparency mode in real time to match changing noise levels around you, while Conversation Awareness automatically lowers your media volume and enhances voices in front of you the moment you start speaking. With Personalized Spatial Audio and dynamic head tracking, sound is placed precisely in 3D space, while Voice Isolation ensures your voice sounds sharp and clear on phone calls regardless of windy or loud surroundings.

The stem incorporates an intuitive force sensor allowing seamless switching between listening modes, playback control, and call handling. Both the earbuds and case are built with IP54 dust, sweat, and water resistance. The upgraded case offers versatile charging options—supporting USB-C, Apple Watch chargers, and Qi-certified wireless charging pads—and includes a built-in case speaker that emits audible chimes to help locate it quickly with Find My. It delivers up to 4 hours of listening time with ANC enabled (5 hours with noise control off), extending to up to 20 hours with ANC or up to 30 hours total with the case, with a 5-minute quick charge delivering roughly 1 hour of playback.
