Apple has announced one of its most recent news AirPods 4 Which according to the brand itself are the most comfortable and advanced headphones that Apple has created to date with an open-ear design, which come in two different models: AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation. AirPods Max also come to the market with a USB-C connector and new colors: Midnight, Star White, Blue, Purple and Orange.
AirPods 4 and AirPods Max are available to pre-order now and will be available on Friday, September 20.
“With AirPods 4, customers can enjoy active noise cancellation and the most advanced acoustics in open-design headphones,” he added. John TurnusSenior vice president of hardware engineering at Apple. “And with the H2 chip, AirPods 4 deliver significant improvements in sound quality and smart features that will change the way you make calls, interact with Siri, and more.”
new design
Apple’s goal with the new headphones is to improve the sound experience. AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are two models with a new fit and new features.
AirPods 4 Provide a design that has been developed from an extensive set of data obtained through modeling tools such as 3D photogrammetry and laser surveying, which have been used to analyze and represent thousands of ear shapes, as well as more than 50 million data points individually. This process has allowed us to improve the design and create the most comfortable AirPods ever, whose shape naturally adapts to more users.
Qt Extensions for Visual Studio Code released in version 1.0New acoustic architecture, low distortion transducers and high dynamic range amplifiers, along with custom spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, are the foundation of product improvements. The integration of the H2 chip manages intelligent audio features such as voice isolation, which enhances the clarity of calls in all types of environments, and interaction with Siri, which allows you to nod or shake your head to answer your questions. They have a pressure sensor on the longer part to play content, pause it, or activate and deactivate the microphone during a call with a single touch. In gaming scenarios, they offer very low latency and support for 16-bit, 48 kHz audio.
They come with a USB-C charging case, and their volume has decreased by more than 10% compared to the previous generation, maintaining autonomy of up to 30 hours. In addition to the USB-C charging cable, the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation can use an Apple Watch charger or a Qi-certified charger, and will have a 5 cm wide case, the most compact at the moment with charging functionality.
Active noise cancellation
AirPods 4 adds active noise cancellation to this design for the first time. With improved microphones, the power of the H2 chip, and advanced computational audio, they reduce ambient sounds and also offer smart features such as Ambient Sound Mode, which keeps you in touch with the outside world; Adaptive Audio, which dynamically combines Ambient Sound Mode and Active Noise Cancellation based on the surroundings, and Conversation Detection, which reduces the volume of sound played when the user starts talking to someone.
AirPods Max in five new colors
AirPods Max are available in five new colors: Midnight, Star White, Blue, Orange, and Purple. They come with a USB-C connector.
The new AirPods 4 are made with 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, 100% recycled gold in various printed circuit boards, 100% recycled tin in the main motherboard solder and 100% recycled aluminum in the case hinge. They do not contain potentially harmful substances such as mercury, BFRs and PVC. For the first time, 100% of AirPods packaging is made of fiber. Packaging volume has been reduced by more than 30% compared to the previous generation.
Prices and availability
AirPods 4 can now be reserved for €149. AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation can be pre-ordered for €199. AirPods Max with USB-C connector can now be reserved for €579. All versions will be available on Friday, September 20.
