Apple AirPods 4
Apple’s mainstream wireless earbuds with H2 chip, improved sound, optional ANC, and USB-C charging case.
GearScout verdict
Overview
AirPods 4 are widely seen as Apple’s new default earbuds: a refined everyday option with better sound, improved comfort, and the familiar effortless Apple experience.
The ANC-equipped version is the stronger pick if you want noise cancellation, while the base model is positioned more as a value-oriented upgrade for iPhone users who want the latest AirPods without paying for ANC.
Community and reviewer sentiment is broadly positive, but the main criticism is that the upgrades are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, especially for owners of recent AirPods.
