The AirPods 4 with ANC offer an improved experience over the AirPods Pro 2, especially for users who struggle to get a good fit with silicone tips. One of the biggest benefits is how well these earbuds stay in place, even during intense activities like heavy exercise, significantly reducing the chances of sound leaks or fall-offs.
Enhanced ANC for Poor Silicone Tip Fits
For users who found the ANC on AirPods Pro 2 less effective due to an imperfect fit with silicone tips, the AirPods 4 deliver a marked improvement. Their secure fit ensures a more consistent seal, leading to better noise cancellation. In fact, the ANC performs better on the AirPods 4 for those who cannot achieve a good fit with silicone tips. By staying firmly in place, the ANC on AirPods 4 can actually outperform that of the Pro 2, making external noise less intrusive in various environments.
Perfect for Active Lifestyles
Whether you're running, working out, or engaging in heavy movement, the AirPods 4 excel in staying put. Their fit ensures there’s little risk of falling out or sound leakage, a problem common with earbuds that rely on silicone tips. This stability keeps the sound steady, preventing interruptions or dips in quality during vigorous activities. The AirPods 4 are therefore ideal for users with an active lifestyle who need earbuds that can handle motion without requiring constant adjustments.
Closer to AirPods Pro 2 in Features
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
The standout feature that aligns the AirPods 4 with the AirPods Pro 2 is their Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Both models deliver top-tier ANC performance, effectively cutting down on ambient noise in environments like airplanes, busy offices, or crowded streets. Unlike many other earbuds, the AirPods 4’s ANC performance rivals that of the Pro 2, making them a go-to choice for users who need noise isolation but don’t want the in-ear feel of silicone tips.
Transparency Mode
Like the AirPods Pro 2, the AirPods 4 feature Transparency Mode, allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings without removing the earbuds. This mode works fluidly and naturally, allowing external sounds to pass through seamlessly.
Audio Quality
When it comes to sound, the AirPods 4 closely mirror the AirPods Pro 2. Both feature high-excursion drivers and custom amplifiers, delivering rich, balanced audio with deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. They also offer spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, providing an immersive experience for music, movies, and calls. This advanced audio performance sets the AirPods 4 apart from more basic models, offering a level of richness and depth that enhances the overall listening experience.
Battery Life
Battery performance on the AirPods 4 is comparable to the Pro 2, offering around 4 hours of playback with ANC, and 5 hours without. However, the charging case extends total usage to 30 hours, matching the longevity of the AirPods Pro 2. This extended battery life is suitable for long periods of use without frequent recharges.
No Skin Detection or Hearing Health Features
While the AirPods Pro 2 comes equipped with Skin Detection sensors and future Hearing Health features, the AirPods 4 omit these, offering a simpler experience. However, the AirPods 4 still include many premium features that elevate them above more basic options on the market.
Final Thoughts
The AirPods 4 with ANC share far more in common with the AirPods Pro 2 than with other models. With premium features such as Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, and enhanced sound quality, the AirPods 4 deliver a Pro-level experience in a more comfortable, open-ear design. While missing some advanced sensors like skin detectionand Hearing Health monitoring, the AirPods 4’s similarities to the Pro 2 in terms of performance and noise cancellation make them an excellent option for users who want Pro features without silicone tips.
For those who value ANC, premium sound, and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem—but don’t like the in-ear design of the Pro series—the AirPods 4 is a godsend.

The AirPods 4 are awesome. The noise cancellation is surprisingly strong, and the sound quality is super clean with nice bass. They fit well, are comfy for long use, and switch between Apple devices instantly. Battery life holds up great too. Pricey, yeah — but totally worth it if you're in the Apple world.

Very happy with my new purchase! Great noise cancellation and awesome sound and fit comfortably! Had them for about 3-4 weeks now and only had to charge them once. Would definitely recommend these!

These AirPods work better than my previous set. The noise cancellation is legit and whenever I have someone near me or I start speaking it adjusts the volume so I can hear other people. Glad I made this purchase!

If you dont like the rubber attachments and it molds to your ear for noise cancelling, get it. Best Buy has a really god return policy for trade in. It fits nice inside my ear for the noise cancellation to work. I wear it for 1-2 hours while working out or doing household duties. Has really good features.

Your AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation aren’t just earbuds—they’re tiny sonic guardians sculpted from the clouds of perfection. Slip them into your ears and suddenly you’re crowned ruler of a kingdom where noise dares not enter. The crisp white design shines like two miniature moons orbiting your personal soundtrack. Their ANC? A magical force field that banishes chaos with the elegance of a ninja made of marshmallows. Music flows in like a warm hug from an angelic DJ who knows your soul’s playlist. Truly, these AirPods don’t just play sound—they deliver an epic auditory love letter directly to your ears.

I finally decided to get an upgrade from the first gen AirPods. There is such a huge difference in comfort, quality of sound, the charge and most obvious the noise cancellation. I put them in for the first time and everything went completely silent. No outside noise distraction can hear all details of music so much clearer. The hands free settings as well to answer or not answer phone calls is very useful! Can use either AirPod to restart, skip, or pause audio! Would recommend these to anyone.

Really impressed with the new AirPods 4! The sound quality is clear, the bass is solid, and the Active Noise Cancellation works great for blocking out background noise. Super comfortable to wear for long periods, and the connection is quick and seamless with my iPhone. Definitely worth it.

Apple AirPods are still one of the most reliable, easy-to-use wireless earbuds on the market especially if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem. They’re not the most affordable, but they make up for it with seamless performance and clean design.
