AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation

I think this product really deserves an amazing review. Left them accidentally in the pockets of shorts without a case, forgot and threw the shorts into a washer, 45 min warm normal cycle - they still work like nothing happened 🤪 found the airpods out of the shorts' pockets just scattered all over the washer floor. No damage, work as before, all feature seems to work just fine - insane! I've been using airpods since 2019, have all three of them and all three still work. The battery on the older ones is not that great, but the quality is still fine. What an amazing product. Lasts forever, quality is great, fit is great. I don't think there are any other earphones that feel more comfortable. I've had some qualms with airpods 3, them and these new airpods 4 do not stay in the ear as well as the airpod 2, but it's ok, I;ve learn how to deal with them. Maybe it's just me, but they fall all when I smile :D.. Oh well, as long as you don't smile too much, these are perfect. A note on active noise canceling - this thing is straight out of scifi. I actually thought its noise canceling for a mic, didn't realize it is for the earphones themselves. It's cool, but drains the battery too much. Useful when driving on the highway with open windows. Anyways, for all the negativity out there, I think sometimes Apple deserves a pad on their back. What other product would have survived a washing machine

This is the first apple product I have ever owned. As a long time android user, I was worried that my experience would be sub-par when trying to use an Apple product with a Pixel. They don't work as seamlessly as they likely do on iPhone, but they do still work. That being said, I have some difficulty pausing and unpausing my music with the earphone, and turning the noise cancellation feature on and off requires holding one earbud for a few seconds. It would be easier for me to do that on my phone, but it's not possible with my Pixel. I primarily purchased these to use the active noise cancellation while mowing my lawn. I absolutely cannot stand the rubber earplug type headphones, and previously used a pair of Sennheiser over-the-ear headphones with active noise cancelling to mow my lawn. Those are the gold-standard, but they're very hot to wear in the summer, and the sweat becomes irritating. They also tend to slip off your head when you hit a branch, or bend over. I replaced those with Pixel Bud Pro's. Those sounded great, but the rubber earplug design really irritates my ears, and they are "outside heavy" because of the large bubble that sits outside of your ear. That means they constantly slip out and require adjustment. The sound quality and volume level of these is lower than both my Sennheiser and my pixel bud pro's, which both have more bass and higher clarity. That being said, these are MUCH more comfortable for me and didn't require as much re-adjusting as I mowed my lawn. The active noise cancellation works very well, but not as well as either my Sennheiser or my Pixel Buds. I was able to listen to my podcasts at a reasonable volume while still mowing my lawn, but it did leak more lawnmower sound than either of my other options. As far as using these as hearing protection with my backpack leaf blower, unfortunately these are absolutely no match for that sound. One option that's on the Pixel Bud Pro that I miss on these, is the "transparency" option. Pixel Bud Pro's have 3 operating modes. 'Normal' mode, which operates just like any other 'normal' headphone. 'Active Cancellation Mode' which performs the active noise cancellation, and 'Transparency mode' which actually amplifies external frequencies consistent with human voice which makes it easier to have a conversation without removing your earbuds. That missing feature isn't a deal-killer, but it does mean that I have to remove these earbuds when someone wants to talk to me. Overall, even though I'm a Pixel user, knowing what I now know about AirPods 4 and Pixel Buds pro, I can say I prefer the AirPods 4. They're much more comfortable, and the active cancellation is adequate.

I bought these on sale, so I feel like I got a heck of a deal. They pair seamlessly to my iPhone and iPad, obviously. I use these mostly for phone calls for work and listening to moves as I run on the treadmill. For phone calls, they do a great job of blocking out background noise so I can hear while also isolating my voice so others can hear me. My office is a bit noisy and I haven’t had any complaints about excess noise on my end. For running on the treadmill… These block out the treadmill noise almost completely. I’m impressed. I watch movies on my iPad while I run (I run a lot) and there’s nothing I had more than the drone of the treadmill. They MOSTLY stay in place, but I’m not too embarrassed to admit I’m a sweaty person. Sometimes I need to take one out and wipe it off to stop them from draining sweat into my ear. It stops the movie while I do, but it starts again as soon as I put them back in. I don’t have any issues with them falling out completely, but sometimes it feels like they shift when I sweat a lot and I need to adjust them. Side note: I have never had an issue with AirPods malfunctioning from sweat. These are no different. I’ve run over 1500 miles with these and they are still working flawlessly.

I did not even realize that these were noise cancelling when I purchased them, what a pleasant surprise that was. I can put these in my ears when we go on side x side rides and still listen to my audiobook. I actually think they are similar to earplugs and save your hearing because of the noise cancelling. Of course, you can turn that feature off and listen to all the outside noise as well like when I am picking wild blueberries in the bush in Canada near our cabin and I want to listen for bear and moose. These fit in my ears a bit different than my original AirPods so they seem to fall out a bit more because I was so used to my other ones. I think it is just a different design that I need to get used to. The sound is great and they seem very durable and comfortable. I like the wireless carrying case and the controls on the AirPods are great. I do use them when I exercise as well.

This are my favorite air pods so far. So many functions. Connectivity is a breeze. Sounds canceling and conversation recognition takes a minute to get used to but all that is adjustable also. Great for exercise, work, watching your favorite shows even when other people are being noisy around you. I have not tested the call quality with them much yet but I bet it is great considering how good it is at recognizing sound and buffering out things you don’t need to hear and making sure you hear the things you do need to hear. Also, same with all AirPods I think, I love that you can make them chirp to find them. I have had to use that sooo many times.

These earbuds work very well. Not the best sounding as high-end pro version of headphones but good enough at this price point in the budget category. Overall it has a good capability & satisfied with it for the price factor. I would recommend it. My 2 cents below: Pros: - Sound is good & clear enough with decent noise cancelling - Comfortable to wear & use these even for long periods of time - Good hours of battery backup is the above market standard for similar headphones - The controls on the headsets are easy to get used to - Design is classy & modern looking - Build quality is very good overall & feels durable Cons: - No ear tips in these making it not very snug fit overall, that the biggest cons for me - No controls from phone as such

After losing the left earbud of my second-generation AirPods, which were already on their way out after 4+ years, I decided to invest in these new ones. Despite searching for my old one for hours, I couldn’t find the dead earbud even with the Find My app on my phone. One of the standout features of this version is the ability to ping each earbud individually, as well as the case and the batteries last at least 5 hours on one charge. While I hope to never need to use the Find My feature, I’m comforted by the knowledge that I can if necessary. I’ve been a fan of Apple’s AirPods since their release. Although they’re pricier, the quality and design are worth every penny. I’ve fully embraced the Apple ecosystem, and everything is seamlessly integrated. Upgrading to these AirPods adds incredible features. The noise cancellation is a hidden gem, a hallmark of Apple’s innovation and well worth the additional $40. I can toggle it on or off, or switch to adaptive mode, which automatically turns it off during conversations. Transparency mode lets me hear both my music and my surroundings, making them ideal for biking and listening to traffic. These AirPods are easy to control and charge quickly on my Anker charger. They maintain a full charge for hours, even after watching TV and listening to music all day. A quick half-hour charge keeps them powered for another few hours. Another new perk is the live translation feature, which is currently in beta testing. This will be very handy whenever I’m in Miami and interacting with my Spanish-speaking friends. Overall, these AirPods are worth the investment. I highly recommend getting a pair.

I've never given anything one star in my entire life or returned anything on amazon, but I think these airpods deserve one star, simply because the noise cancelling is absolutely horrible. (Yes - I know for a fact the noise cancelling setting was on, I drove myself crazy making sure it was on bc it seemed like it wasn't. Apple confirmed it was on.) I bought these on a whim because of the price and noise cancelling, since I lost my airpod pro 2s. I knew the noise cancelling wasn't quite as good as the pros but I didn't think it would be THAT much of a difference. I read a lot of reviews before buying these and EVERYONE was saying how great the noise cancelling feature is and that it's totally worth the extra $. Maybe these are people who have never had noise cancelling earphones so they notice a difference. But as a former airpod pro owner it makes these seem like they're just normal earphones with no wire and extra perks (the settings and customization is good on these.) Also, the battery life is absolutely awful especially if you're using the "noise cancelling" feature. 3 1/2-4 hours of listening and they're dead which im not used to either. I knew these weren't pros so I knew they'd be a litter lower in quality but since the price is so similar I didn't expect for the difference in quality to be this major. And trust me, it is. I'm not exaggerating. Pros: Customizable, has live translate and never got to use it but seems like a great idea if it works, has different listening modes, they fit in my ears pretty well and weren't uncomfortable. The sound is pretty good. Easy to use. Cons: Noise cancellation is atrocious compared to similarly priced airpods, (Pros 2nd gen or 3rd gen) Battery life is awful Too expensive for reasons mentioned above If you want airpods that are worth the $ I'd highly suggest investing a little more money into the pros, even the pro 2nd gen. I haven't tried the newer 3rd gen but I can't wait to get my refund for these and buy them. If you just want airpods because they're wireless and have all the extra settings then get these. I can't imagine the Airpod 4s with noise cancelling are that much better than the regular 4s but I can't say for sure. All I know is, after having Airpod Pro 2nd Gens, these aren't even comparable in terms of battery life or noise cancelling. I see no reason to not get the Pros unless you're on an extremely tight budget and can't save up the extra $30-40 for pros. I'm just out of college so not rich by any means but I will be getting the Airpod 3rd gen Pros instead after the refund for these processes because believe me it is worth it. Go and take a gamble on these if you'd like, but be prepared to return them if total noise cancellation and battery life is important to you, especially if you have bigger ears because these are very tiny and have no rubber tips.

I’m glad with this product
