AirPods 4 With Active Noise Cancellation

AirPods 4 With Active Noise Cancellation

The next evolution in sound, comfort, and noise control.

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation—featuring a totally transformed audio experience with Adaptive Audio and Transparency mode¹, and an updated fit for all-day comfort.

Features:

• REBUILT FOR COMFORT—AirPods 4 have been redesigned for exceptional all-day comfort and greater stability. With a refined contour, shorter stem, and quick-press controls for music or calls.
• ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION—AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation help reduce outside noise before it reaches your ears, so you can immerse yourself in what you’re listening to².
• HEAR THE WORLD AROUND YOU—The powerful H2 chip comes to AirPods 4. Adaptive Audio seamlessly blends Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode—which lets you comfortably hear and interact with the world around you exactly as it sounds—to provide the best listening experience in any environment¹. And when you’re speaking with someone nearby, Conversation Awareness automatically lowers the volume of what’s playing³.
• IMPROVED SOUND AND CALL QUALITY—Voice Isolation improves the quality of calls in loud conditions³. Using advanced computational audio, it reduces background noise while isolating and clarifying the sound of your voice for whoever you’re speaking to.
• MAGICAL EXPERIENCE—Pair AirPods 4 by simply placing them near your device and tapping Connect on your screen⁴. Easily share a song or show between two sets of AirPods⁵. A skin-detecting sensor knows to play audio only when you’re wearing AirPods and pauses when you take them off. And you can track down your AirPods and Charging Case with the Find My app⁶.
• •  PERSONALIZED SPATIAL AUDIO—Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking places sound all around you, creating a theater-like listening experience for music, TV shows, movies, games, and more⁷.
• •  REDESIGNED CASE—The Charging Case is the smallest in the industry with wireless charging. Charge with an Apple Watch charger, USB-C Charge Cable, or Qi-certified charger⁸.
• •  LONG BATTERY LIFE—With Active Noise Cancellation enabled, get up to 4 hours of listening time on a single charge⁹ and up to 20 hours using the case. And you can get up to 30 hours of total listening time without Active Noise Cancellation enabled¹⁰.
• •  DUST, SWEAT, AND WATER RESISTANT—AirPods 4 and the Charging Case are rated IP54 dust, sweat, and water resistant, so they’ll withstand rain and heavy workouts¹¹.
