Apple AirPods 4 Active Noise Cancellation Wireless In-ear

Noise cancellation — without ear tips

AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are Apple's first open-ear headphones with ANC. Remove the rumble from the bus and the noise from the office without silicone tips in your ear canal — a fit many find more comfortable over long days. Adaptive audio smoothly switches between noise cancellation and transparency based on your surroundings, and Conversation Awareness automatically lowers the music when you start talking.

The H2 chip does the work

The same H2 chip as in AirPods Pro powers the sound: personalised spatial audio with head tracking, voice isolation for clearer calls, and fast, seamless switching between your Apple devices.

Case with speaker and wireless charging

The ANC version's case charges via USB-C or wirelessly (Qi/Apple Watch charger) and has a built-in speaker so the Find My app can ping it from the sofa. Up to 4 hours of listening with ANC on (5 without) and around 20 hours total with the case. Both earbuds and case are IP54-rated.
