The AirPods 4 are touted as Apple’s "most comfortable design yet," thanks to extensive research on ear shapes. Design-wise, they follow their predecessor with shorter stems and skip the silicone ear tips, leaving fit up to individual ear shapes.

Do you hear that? It's the sound of prices dropping on a new set of Apple AirPods, be it 2nd Gen, 2nd Gen Pro, 3rd Gen, or Max. It's the perfect time to find your new best buds.

With Active Noise Cancellation enabled, though, AirPods 4 quoted battery life drops to just 4 hours of listening on a single charge. That is a significant difference to AirPods Pro, which can last for up to 6 hours of listening time with noise cancellation active.
