    My favorite AirPods

    Before I used these, I used to use JBL earbuds but the moment I switched over to these AirPods, that moment changed everything. They sound better, they sync better with iPhone, and the call quality is better with these. The JBLs that I used to use made my ears sore after a while with the silicone tips but these open ear ones are so much better. I recommend these, especially if you own an iPhone!

    My full on detailed review after 3 days of use. Okay, first things first, ANC is solid for what the buds are and without the eartip. It has no issues knocking an aircon out of the room or the buzzing of a refrigerator. Positives: This may be apples SMALLEST available package of any electronics. The case itself is probably the smallest case ever released onto the open market, which makes it easily portably in a bag, a pocket, or a purse. This is also in my opinion, the BEST case on the market for these reasons. These buds are COMFORTABLE so long as they fit. I had my girlfriend try these and she said they weren’t great, but I can happily wear these for their entire battery life with no ear fatigue. Finally, these have the best transparency mode of any buds I’ve ever tried (I’ve owned 8 or 9 wireless buds at this point in my life) and it honestly feels like I’m not wearing anything. Negatives: For what these buds are, they’re overpriced for sure. These should be about $150 max. The buds themselves only have 4 hour battery lives, which means if you’re someone who wears buds at work or some other public environment, you’re gonna have to charge em at some point. ANC isn’t great, if you’re in a noisy area, you’re gonna have to turn your music or media up quite a lot to actually drown the noise out. This IS to be expected but it’s still a bit of a downside (still the best “open ear” ANC on the market though). Overall I’d give these an 8/10. They sound pretty good as all airpods have, they’re well built, and they provide a strong package. Personally, I like them more than the AirPods Pro 2 but these are overpriced. If you’re debating on these or the pros 2 and don’t care about price, get the Pros 2, but if you’re looking for a good set of buds WITH AN APPLE DEVICE while also trying to save a buck, these are a great choice.

    ​The AirPods 4 with ANC redefine what's possible for earbuds without silicone tips.

    I bought these so i can handle my business calls hands free throughout the day. They have an amazing sound and dont hurt my ears with the gum tips that the pros have which is great! But my only gripe with them is that i have to keep pushing them in my ear cause they dont feel as secure as the generation 1s that came out originally (i upgraded from those). Great battery life, noise cancellation is just as good as the pros, overall its a great buy especially if you love airpods without the gum tips.

    Perfect Sound, Great Noise Cancellation, and Long

    The AirPods Pro 2 are simply amazing! The sound quality is perfect — deep bass, clear highs, and an overall immersive experience. Whether you’re listening to music or taking calls, the sound remains excellent even in noisy environments. The noise cancellation works well, and I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5. It blocks out most background noise effectively, but there’s still a bit of room for improvement. The Transparency Mode is also very useful for staying aware of your surroundings without having to remove the earbuds. The charging case is fantastic! The battery lasts up to 10 hours of continuous use, which is great for a full day of listening. The case provides several additional charges, making it perfect for long trips. I also want to highlight the build quality. The plastic feels sturdy and premium, and the sleek design looks great. They fit comfortably in my ears and stay in place even during long listening sessions. I highly recommend the AirPods Pro 2 to anyone who loves great sound and convenience!

    A more comfortable alternative to airpod pros

    These are my first experience with the newer airpod shape. I find them really comfortable and even a little more secure fitting than than the original airpods. I had a pair of airpods pro, but I have always found "gummy" head phones to be uncomfortable. The noise cancellation is not near as good as the pros, but will serve their purpose in loud environments. The music sound quality with apple music seems to be great. It looks like the charging case has the same design (though smaller) and will be plagued by the corrosion issues that past airpods have also had. All around, I think these are a great and more comfortable alternative to airpod pros.

    I’m very impressed with the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. The sound quality is excellent—very clear with surprisingly good bass, especially for electronic music. The bass has enough depth and punch to make songs feel immersive without overpowering the mids and highs. They’re also extremely comfortable. They fit well and are easy to carry in my pocket without feeling bulky. I can wear them for long periods without discomfort. The battery life is solid and lasts long enough for daily use without constantly worrying about recharging. One of the best conveniences is being able to use the same charger as my iPhone, which simplifies everything when traveling or on the go. Connection is seamless and very fast. They pair instantly and switch between devices effortlessly, making the whole experience smooth and frustration-free. Overall, these are an excellent upgrade with great sound, comfort, and everyday convenience. Highly recommended.

    The AirPods 4 with noise cancellation, which I bought at Best Buy was the best purchase I could make all year round, the best quality, the best support in reviewing which ones are to my liking and a help in everything and their unbeatable price, there are many good things that stand out for much of my purchase thanks to the support of Best Buy and all their service and their people so friendly and attentive to what they occupied.

    I was concerned with what the quality of the airpods would be, since they were in the end still refurbished, but they arrived in perfect shape. Their sound quality sound quality is decent, and the active noise cancellation blocks out around like 90% of outside sounds, unless they're close and loud (like a fan for example), which even then that sound is still very muted. The battery life last for around 4-5 hours for each airpod, and the case lasts around 5 days before I need to recharge it, although I do not use it heavily, which might affect that number. The only slight problem I have is that my left airpod falls out of my ear if I tilt my head in that direction, but I assume that is more of a me problem. Overall, it is a pretty great product and worth a purchase!

    Great headphones but not impressed. I did come from the pro 2 so maybe my standards are high… base is decent for most music genres. noise cancellation works well however you aren’t able to adjust volume from the AirPods like you could for Apple’s 2+ year old pro model. Battery charges fast in individual ear pods but the case takes a while to charge it seems like. This is all compared to what I had before, overall satisfied with the headphones. Already passed the ‘accidental wash machine endurance’ test and has no problem staying in my ear during workouts. Ultimately good headphones but for the same price you could buy 2 or 3 other pairs of quality Bluetooth sound canceling ear pods.

    I lost my favorite AirPod

    I’ve been extremely satisfied with my AirPods 4 with automatic noise cancellation — they truly work wonders. The adaptive noise control kicks in at just the right time, especially in crowded environments, seamlessly canceling out background noise so I can stay focused or fully enjoy my music. One of my favorite features is the hands-free call control — I can simply nod my head to answer a call or shake it to decline, without ever needing to touch my phone. It’s incredibly convenient and feels futuristic. Unfortunately, I lost the right earpiece. I’m able to track its location, but it’s sitting off the highway and I haven’t been able to safely get to it. Even with that setback, these earbuds have been nothing short of amazing.

    Best Airpods I've ever tasted! better than the Pro

    These are the best earbuds I have ever tried, I have tried the PROs and also others from other brands but these undoubtedly have the best sound. If headphones with gummies make you uncomfortable, then these earbuds are for you! I hate gummies because they fall off or steal me and these Airpods 4 with Noise Cancellation were the solution. My main headphones are the XM4 and they are brutal but these airpods are not far behind, they have a very good factory configuration, their noise cancellation is pretty good for not having gummies and the best thing is their compatibility, I currently use an S25 ULTRA and it works smoothly, it connects very quickly and I can use most of the functions. Their new features like changing the button and sound make them perfect.

    I recently purchased the Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation from Best Buy, and I’m genuinely impressed. The sound quality is incredibly crisp, with clear highs that make music, podcasts, and calls sound amazing. The active noise cancellation works so well; it truly blocks out background distractions and lets you focus. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and connect seamlessly to my devices in seconds. Battery life has been solid. Best Buy made the purchase process smooth and easy, too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for premium sound and reliable performance in a sleek design!

    The New Apple AirPods 4 with Noise Cancellation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) are a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking for lightweight earbuds with great sound and smart features. Apple finally brought noise cancellation to its regular AirPods line, and it makes a noticeable difference when listening in busy environments like public transit, cafés, or gyms. While the ANC isn’t as strong as the Pro models, it still does a solid job reducing background noise so your music or podcasts come through clearly. Sound quality is impressive for earbuds in this category. The bass is stronger than previous AirPods, the mids are clear, and vocals sound natural. Apple’s Adaptive EQ and Personalized Spatial Audio help make the listening experience feel more immersive and balanced. Another highlight is the comfort and design. The open-fit style means they sit lightly in your ears without silicone tips, which many people find more comfortable for long listening sessions. The new model is also IP54 dust and water resistant, making them great for workouts or daily use. Battery life is solid, offering around 4 hours of listening with ANC on (about 30 hours total with the charging case), and a quick 5-minute charge gives roughly an hour of playback. Overall, the AirPods 4 with ANC are an excellent choice for Apple users who want premium features without paying for the Pro line. They combine strong sound quality, smart Apple ecosystem integration, and useful noise cancellation in a comfortable, everyday design. Pros Good sound quality with improved bass Active Noise Cancellation + Transparency mode Lightweight and comfortable open-ear design Seamless pairing with Apple devices Cons ANC isn’t as strong as AirPods Pro Battery life slightly shorter when ANC is on ✅ Final Verdict: A great pair of everyday wireless earbuds—especially for iPhone users who want noise cancellation without the higher price of the Pro models.

    Are the AirPods 4 (ANC) worth it?

    Absolutely they are very worth it they have very great audio quality (tested with Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify) if you want the best sound quality and best surround sound (Dolby Atmos) use Apple Music or Tidal spotify quality isnt showing the AirPods full potential they last pretty long and the ANC isn’t like the AirPods Pro 2 but it’s still great for everyday use and flights also they are very easy to find if you lose them because the tracking is amazing it doesn’t have precision finding like AirPods Pro 2 but its very easy to find with playing a sound because the new speakers but the real question is AirPods 4 ANC or AirPods Pro 2? Well it depends on comfort and sound quality also ANC the ANC on the pros is 2 times better but still great on the 4s the comfort is the AirPods 4 the acoustic sounding is the best on the AirPods Pro but remember the AirPods 4 still have amazing sound quality the AirPods 4 ANC and Pros are currently same price so i would recommend both but it depends on which you want!

    Solid Upgrade from Regular AirPods 4, Especially i

    After using both the regular AirPods 4 and the new AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), I can confidently say the ANC version is the better everyday companion. Both share the improved H2 chip and the lighter, more comfortable open-fit design, but the ANC model truly shines in noisy environments. The sound quality feels richer overall — fuller bass and cleaner mids — and the ANC does a surprisingly good job for open-fit earbuds. It won’t reach AirPods Pro levels, but it noticeably cuts down ambient chatter and café noise. Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness are great touches that automatically adjust sound based on surroundings, something I missed on the regular version. Battery life is the main trade-off: about four hours with ANC on versus around five on the non-ANC model. Still, the wireless charging case with a built-in speaker and Find My support adds convenience. If you mostly listen at home or in quiet places, the standard AirPods 4 are still excellent. But if you commute, travel, or often work in busy environments, the ANC version is absolutely worth the upgrade — delivering comfort, clarity, and a more immersive experience without losing Apple’s trademark simplicity.
