Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

The AirPods 4 add active noise cancellation to the open, non-sealing design for the first time, which is a genuine engineering achievement even if it cannot match sealed earbuds for isolation. The trade is comfort: with no tip pressing into the canal, many people can wear these all day. Sound is clearer than previous open AirPods. Battery is around five hours. Choose these over the Pro if sealed tips have never suited you and you accept less cancellation in return.
