Apple Unveils AirPods 4 with Groundbreaking Active Noise Cancellation

The new AirPods 4 bring ANC to the entry-level lineup, overcoming significant engineering challenges.

Apple's AirPods 4 are available in two versions: one with active noise cancellation (ANC) for $179 and one without for $129.
The AirPods 4 mark the first time ANC is available in the non-Pro AirPods line, a feat achieved through advanced algorithms and the H2 chip.
Engineering challenges included balancing battery life, sound quality, and comfort in the open-ear design without silicon ear tips.
The new design and technology allow the AirPods 4 to monitor and adapt ANC in real time, ensuring consistent performance.
Transparency Mode has been fine-tuned to blend environmental sounds naturally, enhancing the listening experience.
