AirPods 4 Review: Noise Cancelling Changes the Game

Apple’s latest open earbuds feature a slightly smaller design, improved sound and Apple’s powerful H2 chip features. At $129, the entry-level version costs less than its predecessor and is a worthy upgrade to both the AirPods 3 and cheaper AirPods 2. But it’s the noise canceling in the step-up AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation ($179) that makes these new AirPods special.
