Apple AirPods 4 ANC /White

Apple AirPods 4 ANC earbuds | Active noise cancellation for the commute, the office and the city

AirPods 4 ANC keep the in-ear design of AirPods 4 and add active noise cancellation. They are for people who listen to music or talk on the phone on the bus, in the street or in an open-plan office and want less background noise without turning the volume up. With ANC on, the stated playback time is 20 hours.

ANC: quiet when you choose it

Active noise cancellation reduces surrounding sounds, such as a bus engine or office ventilation, so you can listen at a lower volume. When you need to concentrate, you turn ANC on; when you want to hear more of your surroundings or extend battery life, you turn it off. The earbuds have dynamic drivers and are made of ABS plastic.

Battery life: 30 hours, 20 with ANC

The specifications state 30 hours of playback, and 20 hours with noise cancellation on. You charge the case via USB Type-C or place it on a wireless charger, and charging time is 1.5 hours. The case also has an LED indicator.

Touch controls, Siri and IP54 protection

Tap the earbud to answer or end a call or control playback, and Siri takes voice commands when your hands are busy. The built-in microphone uses bidirectional pickup. Bluetooth 5.3 maintains the connection within a 10 m range, and the IP54 rating protects the earbuds from dust and splashes. The stated weight is 4.3 g.
