AirPods 4 is the latest iteration of Apple’s wireless earbuds. They come in a new design aimed at delivering all-day comfort. They offer a number of other features like personalized spatial audio, water and sweat resistance, and up to 30 hours of battery life. They come in a USB-C charging case that re-charges your earbuds between uses.
They have improved sound and call quality compared to the previous iteration, thanks in part to Apple’s H2 chip. It offers better voice isolation for improved call quality when you’re in a noisy environment. If you have them connected to an iPhone, you can also access Siri at any time by saying “Siri” or “Hey Siri.”
As for the features, personalized spatial audio works when you pair your AirPods with recent Apple devices, like an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook. It makes the audio from your music, TV shows, movies, and games sound like the it’s coming from all around you. Apple says this creates a “theater-like listening experience.”
The AirPods are IP54 dust, sweat, and water resistant, making them perfectly safe to use while exercising, as your sweat won’t seep in and damage them. The 30 hour battery life refers to the total amount of listening time when your AirPods and case are fully charged. The earbuds themselves get up to 5 hours of listening time before you have to put them back in the case to recharge.
This model is not to be confused with the identical-looking AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancelling (see at Amazon). The noise cancelling feature is certainly nice, but it comes at a cost. You can check out our AirPods 4 with ANC review for more details on that model.
The big question, if you don’t need these immediately, is whether to buy now or wait for Black Friday. I’d say it’s possible these AirPods will drop to an even lower price during the shopping holiday, but I wouldn’t count on it. They only dropped to $109.99 last year.
