Apple has once again raised the bar in the world of wireless earbuds with the introduction of the AirPods 4. These highly anticipated earbuds come with a host of improvements and new features that aim to enhance the user experience. The video below from Max Tech gives us more details on the latest AirPods, let’s […]
With a big redesign to the “regular” AirPods, Apple delivers two new models. Sure, they have a similar look, and share a few features, but the biggest change from the third-gen version is the addition of active noise cancellation (ANC) for an added cost. The AirPods 4 with ANC ($179) option has more to offer in terms of conveniences, but the overhaul has greatly benefitted the AirPods 4 ($129) too. Apple has given its entry-level AirPods extra power, while also offering an option between those and the most expensive earbuds in its arsenal. However, your AirPods choice may still come down to whether you prefer an open-wear design or a fully-closed fit.
Design
A key difference between the AirPods 4 and Apple’s previous model of “regular” AirPods is the shape of the housing that goes into your ears. The company says it analyzed thousands of ear shapes and over 50 million data points generated by 3D modeling to refine the curves on this new set of buds. Specifically, Apple adjusted the edge of the lower counter and narrowed the overall width for a more secure and more comfortable fit for more people. The company also put the H2 chip in the stem, allowing for a more compact design and improving both airflow and acoustics.
The revised shape does indeed lead to a better fit for my ears. The AirPods 4 are more comfortable and stay in place better than their predecessor. I never once felt like they were going to fall out when I was moving around, unless I turned my head completely to the side to lay down. Open-fit earbuds typically don’t feel the most secure in my ears, but these do, and one less worry contributed to a better overall experience wearing them. Of course, the most secure fit remains with the AirPods Pro.
There’s a force sensor on the stem of the AirPods 4. On both models, you can use that to control music, take calls and summon Siri. Of course, hands-free access to Apple’s assistant is available on both models as well. And on the ANC set, you can long press on the stem to cycle through Noise Control modes (ANC and transparency).
What you won’t find here are onboard volume controls. On the AirPods Pro 2, you can slide your finger on the stem to adjust the level. That function is absent on the AirPods 4. Apple recommends you ask Siri to change the volume, use your iPhone’s buttons, drag the slider on the Lock Screen player or swipe over to the Control Center. There’s also the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch if you’re on the Now Playing screen. Honestly, it’s all a hassle. Siri is too slow and reaching for something that’s not my earbuds just makes me mad. But, that hassle was there on the AirPods 3, so at least Apple is consistent.
Looking at the earbuds themselves, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the two versions of the AirPods 4. You can, however, tell them apart by looking at their cases. The ANC model has a speaker in the case to further assist Find My with beeps, so there are visible holes beside the USB-C port. On both AirPods 4, the LED indicator light is now hidden, so you don’t see an extinguished dot when it’s not on. What’s more, Apple removed the back button for pairing and resetting the earbuds. Now, you’ll double tap near the LED to put the AirPods 4 in pairing mode. And you’ll double tap three times (six taps total) to trigger a reset.

AirPods 4 features
The H2 chip from the AirPods Pro unlocks several notable advanced features on the AirPods 4. Sure, some of those are only available on the ANC model, but there are plenty of handy features on the $129 option. On that new entry-level set, you’ll get Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking – immersive listening that’s tailored to your hearing. The sound features also include 48kHz, “cinema-quality” audio for FaceTime and Adaptive EQ. And for calls, Apple’s newly introduced Voice Isolation will offer some extra help when you’re taking calls in less than ideal settings.
The last key piece is Siri Interactions, which allow you to accept or reject calls, respond or dismiss messages and engage or dismiss notifications. All of those are done with a nod or a shake of the head, so you’re free to handle those tasks when you’d rather not speak or can’t reach your phone. And like everything else, you can disable them if you’d rather do things the old fashioned way.
The AirPods 4 with ANC supports all those and then some. For $179, you’ll also get Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, wireless charging and transparency mode. Adaptive Audio comes in handy when you encounter temporary environmental noise, like a coffee grinder or running water, as the tool automatically adjusts sound settings to maintain the overall listening experience. Conversation Awareness lends a hand for quick chats so you don’t have to futz with the earbuds to participate. However, I still wish Apple would fully pause the audio rather than just lowering the volume. I find it distracting, and in some instances I felt I had to talk louder to project over sounds the other person couldn’t hear. (Apologies to my coffee shop barista if I was shouting while I thanked you.)
I’ll also note that transparency mode and ANC go hand in hand, so it’s not surprising that a feature to listen to ambient sound was omitted on the cheaper AirPods 4. And lastly, that case speaker on the ANC version will come in handy for Find My when you inevitably misplace the set. The ANC AirPods 4 case also only supports proximity view in Find My though, not the Precision Finding that AirPods Pro 2 offers.
Of course, there are a few more mainstays from the AirPods lineup that return here. Audio Sharing with someone else wearing Apple or Beats earbuds or headphones is a great feature, as is automatic switching between Apple devices when you get a call or start playing music from your MacBook Pro instead of your iPhone. Both of the AirPods 4 are rated IP54 for moderate dust, sweat and water resistance – just like the AirPods Pro 2. And like that pair, that protection goes for both the earbuds and the case.

Sound quality
Apple equipped the AirPods 4 with a newly designed low-distortion 11mm driver and high dynamic range amplifier. The driver is built with a new membrane mesh as well as a new magnet, and overall, it has higher excursion – or distance the cone can travel. Importantly, Apple is able to offer better acoustic performance by directing the driver straight into the ear rather than positioning it off to the side. By doing this, the company has eliminated sound reflections that impacted overall clarity.
The “richer bass, crisp highs and even more instrument separation” are all claims that hold true when compared to AirPods 3. There’s more low-end tone than the previous model right out of the gate, and the punchier treble opens the sound stage so it’s wider and more immersive. The improved frequency response is on full display with Dolby Atmos content (movies, music and TV), but the AirPods 4 are also more sonically adept with non-spatial tunes and video.
That promised instrument separation is apparent on Tycho’s synth-laden Infinite Health. Rather than seeming smashed together, the synths are all layered, reproducing the atmospheric soundscape the artist intended. Billy Strings’ Live Vol. 1 isn’t an Atmos album, but the AirPods 4 do an excellent job with the finer details of the live recordings. You get the reverb of the PA system, warmth of the upright bass and the subtle percussion in the bluegrass picking. The acoustic instruments stand on their own, with plenty of character studio tracks don’t offer. And for bass-heavy styles, like Kaytrana’s Timeless, the AirPods 4 have pleasant, thumping low-end that doesn’t overpower. Vocals still cut through the mix, as does the rest of the electronic/hip-hop instrumentation.
Audio performance is consistent on both sets of AirPods 4. Like I already mentioned, both are equipped with Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking and Adaptive EQ. So, in terms of base sound performance, there are no sonic sacrifices between the two.

ANC performance on the AirPods 4
Active noise cancellation on open-design earbuds is usually minimally effective. It’s very difficult for the technology to provide the kind of relief from distractions you likely crave when your ears aren’t sealed off with an ear tip. Apple isn’t the first company to try this, but I’d argue it is the first to offer a solution that actually makes a difference.
Apple employs the H2 chip and the same ultra-low-noise microphones from the AirPods Pro 2 to power the ANC setup on the AirPods 4. The primary goal is to reduce low-frequency noise, which means you’ll notice the most impact on things like airplane cabin hum, HVAC systems and city traffic. The company promises you’ll be able to listen to music and other media at lower volumes on the ANC model without distraction or sacrifices to audio quality, all thanks to this system.
It’s not the world-blocking magic that Sony’s WF-1000XM5 and other devices that seal off your ears offer, and it’s not nearly as good as the AirPods Pro 2 either. But, for earbuds with an open-wear design, the difference when ANC is enabled is actually noticeable. The AirPods 4 struggle with TV noise and human voices, but they do well with constant, low rumbling distractions. On similar models I’ve tested from other companies, active noise cancellation made little to no difference, and only served to drain the battery faster. If you’re looking for something close to silence, the AirPods 4 won’t give you that. However, the earbuds will deliver a noise reduction that will put a dent in raucous environments, and do so most effectively with low-frequency sounds.
Call quality
AirPods are popular options for hands-free calls, so Apple has improved how you sound when taking voice and video calls. Voice Isolation is an H2-powered tool that Apple says “isolates and enhances your voice,” and is a new feature for the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2. Essentially, it removes background noise to keep you sounding your best when you’re in loud environments.
With compatible AirPods, like the fourth-gen model, Voice Isolation is enabled by default for calls and FaceTime video, but you can turn it off in microphone settings on iOS, iPad and Mac. The feature also works with any third-party apps that use CallKit, like WebEx, Zoom, WhatsApp and more. Like the ANC, this is another impressive feat from Apple. Voice Isolation totally negates raucous fans, running water and other would-be distractions for the person on the other end. I did notice a very slight difference in overall voice quality, but it’s a fair trade-off for sounding like you’re in a silent room when you’re not.
The AirPods 4 with ANC also have transparency mode, which is helpful for calls. This noise control setting pipes in the most natural ambient sound of any earbuds, just like the AirPods Pro 2.
Billy Steele for Engadget
AirPods 4 battery life
Apple says you can expect five hours of battery life on both versions of the AirPods 4. With ANC active on the pricier model, you’ll get one hour less of play time. Both of the AirPods 4 offer five charges in the case, which brings total usable time to 30 hours. Apple explains that all of its stated battery figures are at 50 percent volume with Spatial Audio off. For the ANC version, the company says the estimates also include disabling Conversation Awareness.
50 percent volume won’t be loud enough for most people on iOS, so I conducted my tests at around 70 percent there. Around 50 percent is good enough on Mac, though. Using a combination of those two settings across the devices, and employing a mix of both ANC and transparency mode while playing spatial audio and regular content, I got four hours out of the noise-canceling AirPods 4 with no problem. I had no issues hitting the stated figure on the non-ANC version either.
As a reminder, only the ANC version supports wireless charging. While that case will work with Apple Watch chargers, it doesn’t support MagSafe accessories. If you find yourself in a pinch, both sets of AirPods 4 can offer an hour of use in five minutes.
The competition
Apple’s main competition for the AirPods 4 is the company’s other earbuds. The likes of Sony don’t offer the deep iOS and macOS integration, which is a key selling point for any AirPods. That being said, the AirPods Pro 2 is the only other consideration if you’re looking for another flavor of AirPods. The earbuds are two years old at this point, but the company is still adding new features. For example, AirPods Pro 2 is getting Voice Isolation and Siri Interaction today when iOS 18 drops. More importantly, Apple just got FDA approval for its Hearing Aid feature that will arrive alongside a Hearing Test tool this fall. Expanded Hearing Protection items are on the way as well.
Of course, you’ll get enhanced noise cancellation (with an ear tip seal) on AirPods Pro 2, and a transparency mode that handles your voice better. There’s also two more hours of battery life over the ANC AirPods 4, a MagSafe-compatible case, Find My Precision Finding and, crucially, on-board volume controls. The second-gen AirPods Pro are available for $190 right now, and we’ve seen them dip to $180 over the summer. If you can find them for the same price as the more expensive AirPods 4, you might want to go that route. I don’t expect Apple will have a replacement before September 2025, so you don’t have to worry about them becoming immediately obsolete if there’s another hardware event next month or early next year.
Wrap-up
With the noise-canceling AirPods 4, Apple has bridged the gap between the entry level model and the AirPods Pro. The ANC version gets nearly all of what makes the AirPods Pro 2 so good, except for the most powerful noise cancellation, the upcoming hearing health features and a few other items. However, a $179 set of AirPods isn’t a great deal right now with the AirPods Pro 2 available for nearly the same price if you catch them on sale. The $129 AirPods 4 is a big improvement over the previous version though, and they’re a worthwhile update for fans of the basic, non-ANC formula. The question then becomes if you prefer the open design and can live without the Pro’s extras. Both versions of the AirPods 4 have their merits, but for once, price won’t be a deciding factor when choosing between two Apple products.

Salesforce has rolled out some new AI features for its business-focused Slack chat app designed to take over mundane chores like transcription.
A key new feature is Slack AI huddle notes to "capture key takeaways and action items so users can focus on the work at hand," the company wrote. This looks like a more powerful version of a previous Slack AI feature that recaps channel highlights and generates summaries for threads in a single click.
When invited to a huddle, Slack AI creates a transcript based on real-time audio and messages shared in the thread. It can also organize notes with citations, action items and files shared into a canvas. All huddle attendees can then view the notes later, even if they weren't able to attend.
Slack also updated its AI search feature so that it can surface unique results for a user based on files and apps they uploaded in Slack, including canvases, transcripts from clips, documents from connected apps, Google files and more.
Another timesaver is the new AI Workflow Builder that helps automate tasks. For instance, users can enter a prompt like "send a welcome message to teammates that join a channel" and Slack AI and Workflow Builder will will generate that functionality with no programming required.
Also arriving in the latest update are Slack templates, pre-configured for specific use cases like managing a project, collecting feedback and triaging help requests. The new Slack AI features are now available as a paid add-on for all subscription plans, and Slack templates will roll out in October 2024.

EDITOR'S QUOTE:
AirPods 4 bring joy to everyday life with open-ear comfort, ANC, and seamless integration, all while delivering immersive sound.
Apple’s back with the AirPods 4, and as someone who’s been using them for a bit now, I wanted to share my thoughts. Apple has refined nearly every aspect of this model, improving fit, sound, and functionality without losing sight of the simplicity that’s made AirPods a household name. If you’re like me and appreciate the open-ear style, especially for its comfort and lightweight feel, these new earbuds bring even more to the table. They deliver a more secure fit and significant performance enhancements that may surprise you. Whether you’re listening to music, taking calls, or multitasking throughout the day, the AirPods 4 strikes a delicate balance between staying connected to your surroundings and delivering top-tier audio quality. If you’ve been waiting for an upgrade or want to experience something a little more refined, these might be worth your attention.
Designer: Apple
Design That Feels Just Right
At first glance, the AirPods 4 look familiar—sleek and minimalist, just like we’ve come to expect from Apple. But when I picked them up, I noticed some subtle changes that made a real difference. Apple continues its commitment to minimalism but has introduced thoughtful design refinements aimed at enhancing comfort and stability.
Apple AirPods 4 + ANC
The external proportions and contours have been reimagined to ensure a more secure and comfortable fit. Apple used advanced 3D photogrammetry to analyze over 50 million ear shapes—which is pretty impressive if you ask me. By adjusting the width and refining the angle of the AirPods, they’ve managed to make them sit more securely in the ear without feeling intrusive. These changes focus less on dramatic visual differences and more on subtle enhancements that improve how they feel during daily use.
I found that they sit in my ears more reliably now, whether running to catch a flight, working in the kitchen, or rowing on the exercise machine. The refined contouring means they stay in place without needing constant readjustment, regardless of my activity. These design updates maintain the sleek, unobtrusive form while offering better support for all-day wear.
The stems are a bit narrower this time, housing the new H2 chip, which balances the earbuds nicely when I wear them. The force sensor in the stem remains an essential part of the design, allowing me to control music playback or calls effortlessly with a simple press. It keeps things straightforward without adding unnecessary buttons or touch controls that can sometimes be finicky.
The charging case also got an update—it’s over 10% smaller, which might not sound like much, but it’s noticeably more pocket-friendly. I’m not sure if Apple consciously decided to design the AirPods case’s size and shape to fit the coin pocket on jeans, but it’s the perfect place to carry them—making them the ultimate everyday carry device. This smaller size continues the trend of portability and ease of use, fitting seamlessly into your day-to-day routine without adding any bulk.
AirPods Pro 2 + AirPods 4 + ANC
Plus, it supports seamless charging options through USB-C, Qi wireless chargers, and even Apple Watch chargers. That is super convenient because I can use whatever charger I have handy.
While the aesthetic remains in line with previous models, these refined proportions make the AirPods 4 feel like a more mature evolution of the open-ear design that many of us already love.
Comfortable for the Long Haul
Wearing the AirPods 4 has been a comfortable experience, especially since I prefer open-ear designs over in-ear buds like the AirPods Pro. There’s a time and place for the closed-ear design of the AirPods Pro with passive noise cancellation—about 30% of the time for me, with airplanes being a prime example. But for the rest of the time, an open-ear design with Active Noise Cancellation is the ideal and best-case scenario in any setting. The AirPods 4 strike that perfect balance, offering comfort while keeping you connected to your environment when needed.
AirPods 4 + ANC
The refined shape accommodates a broader range of ear sizes, and I can wear them for hours without discomfort. The earbuds feel lightweight, and the pressure-equalization vents mean there’s no buildup of pressure inside my ears, which is something that used to bother me with other earbuds.
One feature I didn’t expect to appreciate as much as I do is the new touch-free Siri interaction. It’s neat to nod for “yes” or shake my head for “no” when responding to Siri notifications. It might sound a bit futuristic, but racing across terminals to catch a flight with a roller board in one hand and a coffee in the other, having both hands full, it’s a small convenience that makes multitasking feel effortless.
The AirPods 4 have held up well durability-wise. They’ve got an IP54 rating, so they’re resistant to dust, sweat, and a bit of water. I’ve worn them during workouts, and even if I was caught in the rain or a storm, I’m confident they’d survive with a clean. It’s reassuring to know they can handle the wear and tear of daily life.
Sound Quality That Surprises
Now, let’s talk about sound. I wasn’t sure what to expect from an open-ear design, but the AirPods 4 have genuinely impressed me. The audio is crisp, with richer bass and clearer highs than anticipated. The custom high-excursion driver and high dynamic range amplifier deliver powerful and nuanced sound well.
The big addition here is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and I was initially skeptical about how effective it could be in open-ear earbuds. Flying home from the Glowtime event, I sat in the window exit row—right by the engine—where the low hum can be incredibly distracting. To my surprise, the AirPods 4 with ANC did an impressive job drowning out the engine noise. I’d estimate they’re about 85-90% as effective as the AirPods Pro 2 in similar conditions. The difference in effectiveness comes down to the design: the AirPods Pro 2 benefit from their in-ear fit, which naturally provides passive noise cancellation, creating a tighter seal that blocks more external sound.
Still, considering the open-ear form of the AirPods 4, the ANC is remarkably good at reducing low-frequency sounds like airplane hums, the constant buzz of city traffic, or even those old-school AC units that sound like they’re on their last breath. While it’s not going to block out everything—this isn’t an over-ear headphone cocoon—it’s more than enough to let you get lost in your music or podcast. Even in noisy environments, I found myself more immersed in my media, which shows just how far Apple has pushed the boundaries of open-ear ANC technology. It’s a balance of staying aware of your surroundings while cutting out the distractions that would usually pull you away from the experience.
The real advantage here is that you can enjoy noise reduction without sacrificing comfort or situational awareness. You’re still connected to your surroundings, which is especially useful when you’re out walking or working in an office, yet the ANC does a great job of toning down the distractions that tend to pull you out of the experience. It’s a best-of-both-worlds scenario, and for someone who prefers open-ear designs, it’s a welcome evolution in noise-cancellation technology.
Adaptive Audio is another feature I’ve grown to appreciate. It adjusts between Transparency mode and ANC based on where I am. For example, if I’m walking from a busy street into a quiet café, it seamlessly recalibrates without me having to do anything. It’s one of those things you might not notice immediately, but it enhances the listening experience by adapting to your surroundings.
Calls are clearer, too. The Voice Isolation feature works wonders by filtering out background noise, making sure the person on the other end hears me loud and clear, even in busy or noisy environments. One of the things I appreciate about the open-ear design, though, is the sense of openness it provides during calls. With in-ear passive noise cancellation, I sometimes get that “clogged” feeling, and because of mild to moderate hearing loss, I tend to raise my voice—even with Adaptive Audio on—because I feel disconnected from my surroundings. However, the AirPods 4’s open-ear design eliminates that sensation entirely. A sense of freedom and natural sound flow lets me speak comfortably without that urge to shout.
AirPods Pro 2 vs AirPods 4 + ANC
It’s a refreshing difference. It doesn’t just make calls more pleasant—it also gives me a better handle on how I sound in various environments. When paired with Personalized Spatial Audio, watching movies or FaceTime calls becomes even more immersive, with sound that feels like it’s coming from all around, enhancing the experience without sacrificing that open, natural feeling.
Battery life has been solid, with up to 5 hours of listening time, which extends to around 30 hours with the charging case under typical conditions. Even with ANC enabled, it’s about 4 hours per charge. When I’ve been in a hurry, a quick 5-minute charge gives me roughly an hour of playback, which has been a lifesaver on multiple occasions. Of course, real-world battery life may vary slightly depending on volume levels and usage patterns, but I’ve found these estimates to be consistent with my experience.
A Step Toward Sustainability
It’s appreciative that Apple is making efforts toward sustainability with the AirPods 4. They’ve used 100% recycled rare earth elements in the magnets and recycled gold in the circuit boards. The solder on the main logic board is also made from recycled tin. Even the packaging is entirely fiber-based and 30% smaller than before, aligning with their goal to eliminate plastic packaging by 2025. It’s good to know that companies are thinking about environmental impact, and while it’s just a step, it’s a move in the right direction.
Is It Worth It?
Coming from a guy who owns two pairs of AirPods Pro 2, I can say the AirPods 4 have been a worthwhile addition to my collection. Why two, you might ask? Well, half of my flights are longer than 5 hours, so having a second pair handy is a lifesaver when the battery runs low mid-flight. Now, are the AirPods 4 worth the investment? They may not be the cheapest option, but the overall experience has impressed me. And yes, if I hadn’t been provided a pair to review, I’d 100% purchase one myself—especially for the open-ear design, seamless integration, and everyday convenience they bring.
Between the AirPods 4 and the AirPods 4 + ANC, I’d recommend the latter if finances permit. Not only do you get all the great features mentioned above, but ANC adds the ability to enjoy media without cranking up the volume to drown out background noise. Over time, this could help prevent hearing loss, which is a nice feature for anyone concerned about long-term listening habits.
If you’re already using Apple devices, the integration is seamless. They automatically switch between my iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even my Apple Watch without any effort on my part. Features like hands-free Siri and the Find My Case add that extra layer of convenience to my daily routine, making the AirPods 4 an essential part of my everyday carry.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the AirPods 4 have been a pleasant surprise. Apple managed to pack in some impressive features while keeping the design sleek and comfortable. They’ve made improvements without overcomplicating things, which I appreciate. Oh, and let’s not forget: Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decided to remove the pairing button. But don’t worry; you don’t have to jump through hoops to repair them. Instead of a button, you open the lid and tap the front twice to put them into pairing mode! Genius. A clever use of the accelerometer inside the case—so simple, it’s like magic. I’m starting to think they’re not just making earbuds but sneaking in little pieces of wizardry.
If you’re in the market for new earbuds and value sound quality, ease of use, and some thoughtful features—and you’re okay with the price tag—the AirPods 4 are worth considering. They’ve redefined what I thought was impossible with open-ear earbuds and quickly become part of my everyday carry.

Folded between all the new hardware announcements, Apple surprised us last week with news of FDA-approved hearing aid features for the AirPods Pro. No new hardware needed — it’s all in software updates. In the last decade, we’ve seen several companies tackle hearing-aid technology, aided by the boom in wireless tech. Now, arguably the most influential company in consumer tech is trying it. John Falcone outlines why this is a big deal. Or, at least, a very good deal.
