Immersive, theater-like sound.

Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking2 places sound all around you, creating a three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, movies, games, and more.

A roaring leap in capabilities.

The powerful H2 chip comes to AirPods 4, making audio and calls sound better than ever. With a range of intelligent features, AirPods 4 adapt to virtually any listening environment — even when you want complete silence.

Superclear call quality.

Using advanced computational audio, Voice Isolation minimizes background noise while clarifying the sound of your voice. So you’ll be easier to understand when you’re speaking in loud or windy conditions.

Enjoy every note, beat, and vibe.

The entirely new acoustic architecture uses an Apple-designed low-distortion driver powered by a custom high dynamic range amplifier. Put simply, you hear music in exceptional detail, with deeper bass and crystal-clear highs.

Calibrates music to your ears.

Adaptive EQ automatically tunes music to your ears. Inward-facing microphones detect what you’re hearing, then adjust low and midrange frequencies to deliver rich detail in every song.

Real talk in real time.

Connect on FaceTime in crisp, HD quality with an AAC-ELD speech codec. And Group FaceTime calls sound more true to life than ever with support for Personalized Spatial Audio.

The joy of quietude.

Active Noise Cancellation. AirPods 4 now offer the option for Active Noise Cancellation in this open-ear design for the very first time.

Adaptive Audio

Physical fit-ness.

The new internal architecture and a refined contour provide a natural and secure fit for more people than ever.

Updated stem with force sensor.

The shortened stem houses the battery and H2 chip, while the new force sensor lets you control playback and calls with just a pinch.

Dust, sweat, and water resistant.

AirPods 4 and the charging case are rated IP54 dust, sweat, and water resistant, so they’ll withstand anything from rain to heavy workouts.

Charges fast. And lasts and last

Power for hours with a smaller, more capable case. The streamlined charging case is more than 10 percent smaller by volume than the previous generation, with no sacrifice to charging times.
