In terms of design, the new AirPods look more like the AirPods Pro, but without the in-ear design. Like all previous models, the AirPods 4 will only be available in white.
Both models of the AirPods 4 have an improved sound quality. This is possible thanks to the H2 chip, which Apple previously put in the AirPods Pro. According to Apple, the new chip should provide a better bass. Apple has managed to make the charging case of the AirPods 4 a little smaller again and equipped it with USB-C.
In addition to active noise cancellation, a transparency mode and adaptive audio, the more expensive AirPods 4 variants have ‘conversation awareness’ and ‘personalized spatial audio’. The earbuds can also isolate voice sounds.
The Apple AirPods 4 will be released on September 20 for a price of 129 dollars for the regular version and 179 dollars for the variant with active noise cancellation. Nothing is known about a price and release in the Netherlands at this time.
Apple also presented a number of new features for the AirPods Pro 2. One of these is continuous hearing protection, which minimizes loud sounds. In addition, you can use the AirPods Pro 2 as a hearing aid to amplify certain sounds. Apple makes this possible through a hearing test.
