4$179.00 save 17%$148.99 at AmazonThe Apple AirPods 4, released in September 2024, comes in two variants, with the main difference being the noise-canceling feature on the higher-end model. The AirPods 4 offers several enhancements over its predecessor, the AirPods 3, including the newer Apple H2 chip, Bluetooth 5.3 support, an improved IP54 resistance rating for dust protection, USB Type-C charging, and a more reliable optical in-ear sensor.

Should you get the AirPods Pro over AirPods 4 with ANC?

The AirPods Pro, priced $70 higher than the AirPods 4 ANC, offers superior sound quality and more effective noise cancellation due to its in-ear design. The AirPods 4 ANC uses an open-ear style with non-adjustable tips, leading to sound leakage and ambient noise intrusion. In contrast, the AirPods Pro's in-ear style seals the ear canal, providing passive isolation and adjustable tips for a perfect fit. The only reason to choose the AirPods 4 ANC over the Pro might be a preference for open-ear earbuds.
