AirPods 4

Apple has unveiled its fourth-generation AirPods, dubbed AirPods 4 at It’s Glowtime event alongside the new iPhone 16 series. The new AirPods 4 comes in two versions – a standard model and an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) version. The new AirPods 4 aims to deliver enhanced audio quality, improved comfort, and a range of new features.

Price

The standard AirPods 4 model is priced at $129, while the variant with Active Noise Cancellation is available for $179. Apple has launched the AirPods 4 Standard at Rs 12,900 and the ANC version is priced at Rs 17,900.

Availability

Pre-orders for the AirPods 4 start today, and the earbuds will be available for purchase in stores and online starting September 20, 2024.

Features

The AirPods 4 come with an updated acoustic architecture that claims to deliver richer bass and clearer highs. The design has been optimised for comfort, with Apple analysing thousands of ear shapes to create a better fit.

Apple has also brought Active Noise Cancellation for the first time in its open-ear design AirPods. The ANC version also comes with Transparency Mode and Adaptive Audio, which adjusts to the user’s environment. Both versions are powered by Apple’s H2 chip, offering features like Personalized Spatial Audio and improved voice isolation for calls.

AirPods 4 also comes with new gesture controls that allow users to nod or shake their heads to answer calls or respond to Siri, a feature that will also roll out to AirPods Pro with iOS 18. The redesigned USB-C charging case is Apple’s smallest yet, offering up to 30 hours of battery life, wireless charging, and a built-in speaker for Find My capabilities.
