Apple AirPods 4: Noise Cancellation, USB-C and Other Features

After a long time since the Apple AirPods 3 arrived, we got the new Apple AirPods 4. Apple launched this new AirPods 4 at an Apple event held on 9th September. There are two versions we got with this new Apple AirPods 4. This is the first time we have a noise-cancelling feature for non-Pro AirPods. This article is for giving all the information about this new AirPods 4.

Design and Features

It has the same design as the other AirPods modules. But as Apple says they used more than 50 million data to give a better experience with this. They confirmed this is the most comfortable AirPods you have ever had. AirPods 4 can’t change eartips as Pro 2 modules. Now that it has an open-ear design.

For noise cancellation, the non-Pro AirPods have an Apple H2 chip. It has a wireless charging case with includes a speaker for easier Find My support. This new charging case has a USB-C port for charging and wireless charging is compatible with Apple Watch chargers. Both versions have a 30-hour battery life. It will be five hours for single-bud charging but reduced to four hours with ANC turned on.

Sound Quality

Apple claims this AirPods is the best-sounding AirPods ever. It has a new acoustic architecture. This architecture introduced a high-dynamic amplifier and a new low-distortion driver. AirPods 2 and other versions give a good sound quality but it was dropped with the AirPods 3 release. The base sounds with the AirPods 3 are not good. So, many users hope with the new AirPods 4, we will get this sorted out.

Software and Performance

With the AirPods 3, they introduced a good battery life but when the Spatial Audio was turned on, the battery would start to drain fast. With the AirPods 4, most users hope to get a better battery life. The H2 chip is better than the H! chip in the AirPods 3. It means both AirPods 4 versions get a good spatial ratio. And it is a personalized one. The supported Bluetooth connectivity is Bluetooth 5.3. The H2 chip can produce good sound quality even without ANC.

Other Features

You can interact with Siri to answer calls using gesture controls but still, there is not a way to change volume on the buds themselves. Also, this has force sensors to control music playback and calls. With the AirPods 2, we get on-bud volume adjustments and long-press action to change noise modes. But we can’t see that in this new AirPods 4. Most users wish these features will be added to the AirPods 4 in the near future.
