Apple AirPods 4

The essentials

AirPods 4 deliver refined comfort and stability for all‑day wear, with a shorter stem and quick press controls for music and calls. The design minimises bulk while preserving secure fit, so you can enjoy extended listening sessions without fatigue. The Active Noise Cancellation helps you focus on what matters, reducing external sound before it reaches your ears, while Transparency mode lets you hear the world around you when needed. With Personalised Spatial Audio and dynamic head tracking, sound surrounds you for a cinema‑like listening experience across music, TV and games. The system recognises when you speak to someone nearby, lowering the playback to keep conversations natural, and Voice Isolation improves call clarity in noisy environments. All without removing the AirPods thanks to the optical in‑ear sensor which pauses playback when you take them out. 🎧 You can ask Siri hands‑free and tap to connect on the screen, making setup effortless. The case now supports USB‑C charging and wireless charging, with compatibility across Qi chargers and the Apple Watch charger, making daily recharging easier than ever. 🔋
