Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth Headphones, Adaptive Audio, Transparency Mode, Personalised Spatial Audio, USB-C Charging Case, Wireless Charging, H2 Chip

The new Apple AirPods 4 are a fantastic improvement! The sound quality is crisp with deep bass, and the active noise cancellation works brilliantly, even in busy environments. They connect instantly via Bluetooth and feel super comfortable for long wear. The adaptive audio automatically adjusts to surroundings, making music and calls sound perfect every time. Battery life is solid and the charging case is compact and sleek. Definitely worth the upgrade — Apple has nailed it again!

I’ve had mine now for a couple of weeks and use them on commutes, work calls and everyday use. WHAT'S GREAT They feel like the earbuds, Apple has been trying to perfect for years. They slip in easily and stay comfortable for long listening sessions without feeling like tiny pegs hammering into my ears. The overall sound is pleasantly full with a decent warm bass that makes music and podcasts sound lively rather than thin. The active noise cancellation is surprisingly good for open fit buds and it knocks out street rumble and background chatter enough that you can focus on what you are listening to without blasting the volume. Pairing with my iPhone was instant every time and switching between my phone and laptop just works without fiddling. They also work with my sons Samsung phone. The wireless charging case is small and easy to carry and the "Find My" speaker on the case has already saved me from tearing the house apart looking for them. WHAT'S NOT SO GREAT Comfort is personal so this will vary but if I turn my head quickly or go for a brisk walk I sometimes feel like one earbud might loosen slightly. It never actually falls out but it is not as locked in as models with silicone tips. The noise cancellation does not turn the world completely silent. Voices and sharp sounds still come through so do not expect total isolation. Battery life with noise cancellation on is good but not class, so not ideal if you plan to listen all day. There are also no on ear volume controls which feels like a strange omission. In very quiet rooms I sometimes notice a faint hiss when noise cancellation is on and nothing is playing which is subtle but noticeable once you hear it. OVERALL THOUGHTS These are not perfect and they are not trying to be. They do not isolate like deep in ear models or over ear and they are not built for intense workouts. But for everyday use they are extremely easy to live with and quietly impressive. Most of the time I forget I am wearing them and that is probably the biggest compliment I can give. Pros Comfortable for long listening sessions. Good balanced sound with solid bass. Noise cancellation works better than expected for open fit earbuds. Seamless connection with Apple devices. Compact wireless charging case with "Find My" support. Cons Noise cancellation does not block all voices. Fit may feel slightly loose for some people. No built in volume controls. Faint background hiss in very quiet environments. If you are already in the Apple ecosystem and want earbuds that feel effortless and modern without fully sealing your ears these are a very solid choice. If maximum noise blocking or a locked in fit is your top priority you may want to look elsewhere. I hope this review helps you decide whether this is the right choice for you.

So pleased with these. Great sound and the noise cancellation works a treat. Easy to use, great design and fit to ears. Great value for money for an Apple product.

I really like these earphones. They're super simple to setup and fit well in my ears. The functions are great, especially the noise cancellation mode which really helps with my ADHD, giving me some quiet when I'm trying to work. I haven't tried them on any non-iOS or Apple devices, but I assume they'd work on normal bluetooth on any device. Only gripe is that the battery life is not half as good as my previous earphones which were some cheap £30 earpods that lasted well over a week without a charge with regular use. These airpods demand a charge after a couple of hours of use. Sound quality is excellent though and highly recommend the ANC mode.

The 4 anc are pretty good ( btw I had the pro 2 for a long time decided to try out the 4 which just arrived today). So the pro 2 having a silicon tip it’s as if the sound is louder because no sound leaks. The 4s the sound leaks a bit so tiny less volume. The pro 2 if you find the correct tip they can be real comfy but after a few hours you can feel something in your ear. The 4’s well they are really comfy like even more. I’ll probably use the 4 on my iPhone and the pro 2 on my pc for like movies etc. I’ll probably take the pro 2 for long flights or long trains on my phone. Otherwise day to day use for now ima use the 4 (comfy) Also for anc it’s pretty good maybe a 5% loss compared to the pro 2 I would guess. Pretty good. But u will never get the same because obviously silicon tips already add an additional layer

By far the best in ear head phones you can get if you have an iPhone, pairs instantly and sounds great, I went for the noise reduction set and it works well, the gesture control for answering or ignoring calls is good too

i daily drive Sennheiser hd6xx's with a dac/amp at my pc and its awesome but for on the go ease, decent enough sound and call quality, with anc too, in a tiny package, they just cant be beat. long car/airplane sure the Momentum 4's are nicer for music/movies but honestly, on the go and on calls, airpods 4 with anc are awesome with great fit, tiny sizy and good value for money if you pick them up on black friday

I’ll split this review into two parts. First, the purchase experience: I bought these AirPods from Amazon’s refurbished section. Naturally, I was a little apprehensive, as it wasn’t clear what “as new” would really mean in practice. Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about - the AirPods arrived in mint condition and worked perfectly straight out of the box. The retail price is around £180, but the refurbished price on Amazon was £131. On top of that, I managed to save an extra 20% through a current Amazon promotion, bringing the total down to about £105, which I’m really happy with. Second, the product itself: The AirPods are fantastic, especially the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which I had never tried before. I’d read and watched plenty of reviews about it, but the feature is something you can only truly appreciate once you’ve experienced it firsthand. For me, the ANC is surprisingly effective and makes a big difference, easily justifying the choice of this model over the standard version.
