Upgraded H2 processor, Type-C port for charging. Spatial audio technology with dynamic head tracking, adaptive equalizer and notification announcement function.
There is a more advanced version with ANC and a case with wireless charging: Apple AirPods 4 Active Noise Cancellation
Earbuds from Apple in a basic configuration. The classic AirPods 4 model has been slightly reduced in size, with both the earbuds and their charging case becoming smaller. Inside, the Apple AirPods 4 is equipped with the H2 chip, and the sound quality is driven by the updated acoustic architecture. The earbuds support personalized spatial audio with head-tracking, and dynamic volume adjustment during calls on a paired smartphone.
They are operated using a pressure-sensitive button. This model also features head gesture control—for instance, when interacting with Siri, a nod is enough to say "yes," or shaking your head to say "no." The same functionality applies for answering incoming calls. On average, the earbuds' battery life is approximately 5 hours in music listening mode. With periodic recharging in the case, the autonomy can be extended up to 30 hours. The case is equipped with a USB type C charging port, and in just 5 minutes in the case, the earbuds accumulate enough energy for one hour of subsequent autonomous operation.

adequate price for Apple very good noise cancelling great fit in the ear the sound quality, although on par, is significantly inferior to full-size speakers for the same price.  Yurii Ivanov: use Apple AirPods 4 Active Noise Cancellation few months |
I love these headphones! High-quality sound, comfortable, and my favorite feature - noise-canceling! It's a lifesaver in noisy places, when neighbors are bothering you, or when someone is doing renovations. Before, I had the first version of these headphones, and the 4th version is even more convenient because it connects much faster to a MacBook or iPhone and switches between them automatically. Noise cancelling High-quality sound Comfortable Wireless case charging Case with sound, capable of signaling when the battery is low On the street, when talking through headphones, sometimes the other person can't hear me well. I don't understand the reason. I've turned various modes on and off, but it doesn't help much. However, this problem happens every other time, something software-related...

Popular questions
Do the Apple AirPods 4 have Transparency mode?
No, the standard Apple AirPods 4 have neither Transparency mode nor active noise cancellation. Both features are available only in the separate Apple AirPods 4 Active Noise Cancellation version. If you need modes for noisy environments, be sure to check the full version name when purchasing.Source:General information
How long do AirPods 4 last without recharging?
In practice, a single charge lasted for approximately 6.7 hours of continuous music playback—more than the claimed 5 hours. With the case, the same test yielded around 33.5 hours. This capacity is convenient for a full day, but during extended listening, the earbuds will still need to be periodically placed back in the case.Source:General information
Can I adjust the volume from the headphones?
No, this version has no volume adjustment via the stems—you’ll have to change it on the connected device or through Siri. Squeezes can control playback and calls, while the in-ear sensor supports automatic pausing. For those who often adjust the volume on the go, this is a noticeable limitation.Source:General information
Is it worth getting for Android?
The headphones connect to Android via Bluetooth and are suitable for everyday listening, but some features will be unavailable. There is no dedicated app or Fast Pair for Android, and automatic switching works between Apple devices signed in to the same iCloud account. The model’s full capabilities are unlocked with iPhone, iPad, and Mac.Source:General information
How do they sound?
The sound is warm and sufficiently bass-heavy for open-fit earbuds: the bass and midrange are reproduced evenly, while speech and the main instruments sound clear. The high frequencies are noticeably subdued, so cymbals and fine vocal details may seem dull. Compared with the previous generation, the bass has become more weighty.Source:General information
How does the microphone perform outdoors?
On a quiet street, calls are manageable, but quality noticeably drops near loud traffic. With constant background noise, speech remains intelligible, although the voice sounds thin. Sudden loud sounds can overload the microphones and make the conversation unpleasant for the other person.Source:General information
Won’t they fall out without ear tips?
The fit depends heavily on the shape of your ears: there are no adjustable ear tips or stabilizers here. If the earbuds fit you, they feel lightweight and stay in place even during active movement, but there have been cases of AirPods 4 falling out for owners of previous generations. It is best to try them on before purchasing.Source:General information
Is a separate charging cable required?
Yes, you’ll need your own USB-C cable: it’s not included. The standard charging case charges only via USB-C and supports neither MagSafe nor regular wireless charging. Wireless charging is available on a separate version with Active Noise Cancellation.Source:General information

1. They really sit well in the ear - they don't fall out and don't cause discomfort. Even after a run, they didn't get lost (though they are not for sports).
2. They let you immerse in the music thanks to the noise cancellation. It's at a level where even without music, you are already detached from everything. And once you play a track, everything around you becomes not just secondary, but simply disappears. I can't even hear my kid shouting, and now I begin to understand the parents' saying about having "bananas" in the ears.
3. The compact, neat design and popularity almost make these headphones a must-have gadget among the youth. After my eldest daughter tried them, the youngest also ordered similar ones for her birthday. This is helped by the "budget" price for Apple. Especially if you buy them on the American website during the discount period.
However, there are also disadvantages. No matter how great the sound is—and it is indeed good in this model—it still doesn't reach the level of over-ear and Pro models. Although the highs and lows are clear and non-colored, to me, they're a bit dry, lacking expressiveness. Maybe it's due to the use of more expensive over-ear headphones, which set a higher standard. But for everyday use and especially for communication and studying, these headphones are simply number one.
