AppleAirPods (4th Generation) with USB-C Charging Case, 2024

AirPods 4 — a totally transformed audio experience with Voice Isolation[1], Siri Interactions[1], and Personalised Spatial Audio.[2] Featuring an updated fit for all-day comfort.

Rebuilt for comfort
AirPods 4 have been redesigned for exceptional all-day comfort and greater stability. With a refined contour, shorter stem, and quick-press controls for music or calls.

Personalise spatial audio
Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking places sound all around you, creating a cinema-like listening experience for music, TV shows, movies, games and more.

Improved sound and call quality
AirPods 4 feature the Apple-designed H2 chip. Voice Isolation improves the quality of phone calls in loud conditions.[1] Using advanced computational audio, it reduces background noise while isolating and clarifying the sound of your voice for whoever you’re speaking to.

Magical experience
Just say “Siri” or “Hey Siri” to play a song, make a call or check your schedule.[3] And with Siri Interactions[1], now you can respond to Siri by simply nodding your head yes or shaking your head no.[1] Pair AirPods 4 by simply placing them near your device and tapping Connect on your screen. Easily share a song or show between two sets of AirPods.[4] A skin-detecting sensor knows to play audio only when you’re wearing AirPods and pauses when you take them off. And you can track down your AirPods and Charging Case with the Find My app.[5]

Long battery life
Get up to 5 hours of listening time on a single charge.[6] And get up to 30 hours of total listening time using the case.[7]

Redesigned case
The Charging Case comes with USB-C charging capabilities and is more than 10 per cent smaller by volume than the previous generation.[8]

Dust, sweat, and water resistant
AirPods 4 and the Charging Case are rated IP54 dust, sweat and water resistant, so they’ll withstand rain and heavy workouts.[9]
