AirPods

Iconic. Now supersonic.

Immersive, cinema-like sound.

Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking2 places sound all around you, creating a three-dimensional listening experience for music, TV shows, movies, games and more.

Noise out. Magic in.

AirPods 4 now offer the option for Active Noise Cancellation in this open-ear design for the very first time. Powered by the H2 chip and upgraded microphones, it helps reduce low-frequency environmental noise � like aeroplane engines, HVAC systems and city traffic � before it reaches your ears.

Battery

Charges fast. And lasts

Power for hours with a smaller, more capable case.

The streamlined charging case6 is more than 10 per cent smaller by volume than the previous generation7, with no sacrifice to charging times. And AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation feature a wireless charging case � the smallest in the industry with this capability � as well as a built-in speaker for Find My8 to help you keep track of it.

An instant connection.

AirPods 4 pair immediately with every device connected to your Apple Account. Just place AirPods near your iPhone or iPad and tap Connect.11
