Third Announcement — AirPods 4 with the Most Comfortable Fit and Best Sound Among Open-Ear Headphones
It promises that the headphones will definitely fit all ears in the world, and thanks to the redesigned drivers, they will sound just amazing. The H2 chip will help them achieve this. The case now comes with USB-C and promises 30 hours of operation from a full charge.
Active Noise Cancellation is now in AirPods 4, but this is a different model. Yes, indeed, these are different headphones under the same name. They also feature Transparency mode and Adaptive Audio. Essentially, these are like AirPods Pro 2 without in-ear tips.
The price for regular AirPods 4 starts at $129, and for AirPods 4 with noise cancellation — from $179.
Meanwhile, new colors were added for AirPods Max and USB-C, the price remains the same, and nothing was mentioned about the new chip or lossless audio.
AirPods Pro 2 have received a couple of new modes — one for protecting your hearing from loud sounds, and another for testing your hearing for deafness. The headphones will be able to create your hearing profile and improve sound quality according to the settings. This feature was already present, but now it is more enhanced and medically approved.
