Apple AirPods 4 Earbuds
Open-fit TWS · 5h/30h · H2 chip · BT 5.3
The Apple AirPods 4 is Apple's entry-level earbud, offering the core AirPods experience — seamless Apple ecosystem integration, effortless pairing, and iconic design — at the most accessible price in the lineup. Powered by the H2 chip, they deliver spatial audio, automatic device switching, and the signature AirPods open-fit design that millions of users prefer for its comfort. The standout feature is being the most affordable gateway into Apple's audio ecosystem, delivering the essential AirPods experience without the premium of ANC or Pro features. The AirPods 4 are ideal for casual listeners, podcast fans, and Apple users who prioritize comfort and convenience over noise cancellation. Compared to the AirPods 4 with ANC at just $50 more, the base model sacrifices noise cancellation — making the ANC version a tough competitor within Apple's own lineup. At 4.3 grams with 5 hours of playback, 30 hours total, and IP54 water resistance, they deliver the AirPods fundamentals at a friendly $130 price.
