Much like the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation, AirPods Max, or even the third-generation model that they replace, the AirPods 4 – with or without active noise cancellation – offer several useful features, which make them an excellent choice for anyone with an iPhone, or who’s otherwise invested in Apple’s device ecosystem.

While the fourth-generation AirPods feature the same open design as their predecessor, they have a refined new look and are powered by Apple's H2 chip. They come in two new models, one with active noise canceling.
