Remarkably, and this is rare, Apple has shocked on price, and launched the new entry-level AirPods 4 at just $219.
AirPods are iconic: the white earbud with the long straight stalk coming out of the ear was not only something very new, but at the time it did comically seem as though owners had literally cut off the cable from the previously ubiquitous white Apple Earbuds.
The packaging is familiar, though as a full environmental focus means fibre-based wrapping around the actual device, and paper used throughout. I was sent for review two sets, because Apple didn't just launch the AirPods 4 but also a new string to their bow - the AirPods 4 with ANC . This is a huge leap forward for the base range, with ANC previously only possible in the $399 AirPods Pro series.
Now it should be stated clearly that the Noise Cancellation on the AirPods 4 with ANC is not to the standard of the AirPods Pro 2 - but, for a headphone without a silicon tip to passively seal the ear canal from the outside world, the Noise Cancellation that is achieved is above average. I think the best description from my testing , is that instead of the white noise of an aircraft in flight sounding like wind blowing past you, instead It sounds like that's happening in the next room.
The charging case is very small, the smallest Apple has made, but it's narrow like the original AirPods, while not being as wide as the AirPods Pro case.
