AirPods 4

Apple’s AirPods 4 are the latest update to the company’s base-model wireless earbuds. The hard, plastic buds feature improved audio over the third-gen model, along with deep iOS integration and spatial audio with head tracking. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

Whether you’re upgrading from an older model or getting your first pair of wireless earbuds, the standard AirPods 4 are a great option for iPhone owners. They integrate well with Apple’s ecosystem and support unique features such as hands-free Siri, as well as automatic device switching. That means if you’re listening to music on your iPad and wake up your MacBook Air to watch a video, the AirPods will automatically switch from the iPad to the Air without requiring you to jump through a messy Bluetooth menu. They also offer excellent voice isolation, so you should sound crystal clear on calls.

Additionally, the AirPods 4 carry an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, along with up to five hours of continuous playback on a single charge. Unfortunately, they lack some of the features found in the higher-end AirPods, including active noise cancellation, conversation awareness, and support for a live translation feature available in iOS 26. However, if you do want those features without having to shell out for the pricier AirPods Pro 3, you can get the noise-canceling AirPods 4 for just $99.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Target.

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation

The fancier version of the new AirPods 4 offer support for active noise cancellation, a wireless charging case that can use either Qi or Apple Watch pads, and a speaker in the case that chirps to help you find it. Read our review.
