Apple H2 Headphone Chip

Both AirPods 4 versions are powered by the Apple H2 headphone chip.

The H2 chip enables computational audio technologies and works with the redesigned acoustic architecture to deliver improved sound while supporting features such as Personalized Spatial Audio and Voice Isolation.

On the ANC Version, the H2 chip also powers advanced listening features including Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio, and Conversation Awareness.

Redesigned Open-Ear Fit

AirPods 4 feature a redesigned shape intended to provide a more comfortable and secure fit while maintaining the familiar open-ear AirPods design.

Unlike AirPods Pro, AirPods 4 do not use silicone ear tips. Their open-ear design makes them suitable for users who prefer the traditional AirPods experience without an in-ear seal.

Personalized Spatial Audio

Both versions support Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking.

With compatible Apple devices and supported content, Spatial Audio can create a more immersive listening experience for music, movies, television shows, and other content.

Dynamic Head Tracking adjusts the perceived sound field according to the movement of the listener’s head.

Voice Isolation

Both AirPods 4 versions support Voice Isolation, which uses computational audio to help make the user’s voice clearer during calls while reducing distracting background sounds.

This can improve communication when making calls in noisy environments.

Standard Version

The AirPods 4 Standard Version provides the core AirPods 4 experience and is designed for customers who do not require Active Noise Cancellation.

It includes:

• H2 Chip
• Personalized Spatial Audio
• Dynamic Head Tracking
• Voice Isolation
• Adaptive EQ
• Force Sensor Controls
• USB-C Charging Case
• IP54 Dust, Sweat & Water Resistance

The Standard Version does not include Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio, or Conversation Awareness.

Its charging case charges through USB-C and does not support wireless charging.

ANC Version

The AirPods 4 ANC Version adds Apple’s advanced noise-control technologies while retaining the open-ear AirPods design.

It includes Active Noise Cancellation, which helps reduce environmental noise while listening.

The ANC Version also supports Transparency Mode, allowing outside sounds to remain audible when users want greater awareness of their surroundings.

Adaptive Audio & Conversation Awareness

The ANC Version supports Adaptive Audio, which intelligently blends Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode according to the user’s environment.

It also includes Conversation Awareness, which can automatically lower media volume and enhance voices when the wearer begins speaking with someone nearby.

These features are exclusive to the ANC Version within the AirPods 4 lineup.

Force Sensor Controls

Both versions feature a Force Sensor on the stem.

Users can press the stem to perform supported actions such as playing or pausing media, answering calls, ending calls, and accessing other controls.

Battery Life

The Standard AirPods 4 provide up to 5 hours of listening time on a single charge and up to 30 hours of listening time with the charging case.

The AirPods 4 with ANC provide up to 4 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled, or up to 5 hours with noise control turned off. With the charging case, the ANC model provides up to 20 hours of listening time with ANC enabled and up to 30 hours with noise control turned off.

Both versions support quick charging, with approximately 5 minutes in the case providing around 1 hour of listening time.

Actual battery performance varies depending on settings, usage, volume, battery condition, and environmental factors.

USB-C Charging

Both AirPods 4 versions use USB-C for wired case charging.

The Standard Version comes with a USB-C Charging Case and does not support wireless charging.

The ANC Version has a wireless charging case that can be charged using an Apple Watch charger or Qi-certified wireless charger, in addition to USB-C.

The ANC charging case also includes a built-in speaker for Find My.

Dust, Sweat & Water Resistance

Both AirPods 4 versions and their respective charging cases are rated IP54 for dust, sweat and water resistance.

This makes them suitable for everyday activities and exercise where they may encounter sweat or light splashes. They are not waterproof and should not be submerged.

Connectivity & Apple Ecosystem

AirPods 4 use Bluetooth 5.3 wireless technology and integrate with compatible Apple devices.

They work with compatible iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and other devices. They can also function as Bluetooth headphones with compatible non-Apple devices, although some Apple-specific features may be unavailable.

Open Box Condition

The Apple AirPods 4 are available in Open Box condition.
