Apple AirPods Gen 4: Wireless Audio Redefined

The Apple AirPods Gen 4 continues the legacy of Apple’s iconic design, retaining the clean white aesthetic and comfortable semi in-ear fit. Sleeker and more compact, the charging case is now about 10% smaller, making it even more portable. A new addition is the force sensor on the stem, which allows users to control playback and calls with a pinch. Plus, these earbuds are built for durability with an IP54 rating, ensuring resistance against dust, sweat, and splashes.

Audio quality is a key focus, featuring a low-distortion driver powered by a custom high-dynamic range amplifier for high-quality sound. Supporting 16-bit/48kHz processing, the AirPods Gen 4 offers detailed audio performance, complemented by personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking that enhances media experiences. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is included for a more immersive sound experience, with an “Adaptive Audio” mode to allow important sounds, such as sirens, to filter through for added safety. Apple also offers a variant without ANC, catering to different preferences.

The AirPods Gen 4 comes packed with convenient features. They easily sync across all Apple devices linked to an Apple ID and allow for dual listening by connecting two sets of AirPods to a single device. The new H2 chip brings improved Siri access, letting users respond to announcements with simple nods or head shakes. Battery life reaches up to five hours without ANC and four hours with it, while the charging case offers a boost up to 30 and 20 hours, respectively. The case also includes a USB-C port, with wireless charging available for the ANC variant.
