AirPods 4: What To Expect

Apple is expected to replace the current AirPods 2 and 3 with the AirPods 4 this fall. Which will come in two versions. A $129 base model, and a higher end $179 model. The lower cost AirPods 4 will feature a new design. Which will be combination of AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro. With stems that are significantly shorter, a body that’s slightly reshaped to optimize for fit and comfort, and a case that is wider and shorter.

The $179 pair is exactly what I wanted, noise canceling without the silicone tips.

[_Au_]

So the 179 AirPods 4 are just the AirPods Pro? 🤨

[CrustyHead]

Wouldnt they need tips for ANC? There needs to be a seal for that to work efficiently*

Edit: me adding efficiently due to some confusion i may have caused

[rozzy]

i am actually hyped for the better model, it is basically airpods pro, without the silicon eartips, which im not fan of

[mykolt]

Been following since 2020, you have done a great job, and I am very happy to see you still working hard.

airpods gen 2 were the best shaped and feeling.

Airpods 3rd gen are already waterproof enough. I lost my left airpod and it was left in the street for a whole rainy night. I picked it up the next day after I found it and it sounded like nothing had ever happened. That was half a year ago and nothing has changed

I’m waiting for the upgraded pros. I might have to get the current AirPods pros now if they upgrade the pros next year. I can’t wait that long.

I get the white = Apple, but come on, how about some color options for once?

[ethanmay]

I have the OG AirPods Pro which came out about 4 years ago and somehow the base AirPods are yet to catch up

[andrewp]

Am I missing something? Most of the features you mentioned as new were already in the AirPods 3

[Ckwon]

im so glad theyre still the non-IEM style

[AntonioItzcua]

Can you please make a video on what is expected on the upcoming IPad models please.

When Apple ditches bluetooth for a new lossless audio protocol with the AirPods I'll upgrade mine. Until then, i'm going to stick with my older AirPod first gen because it suits me perfectly.

The tap navigation is the reason why I still have the gen 2 AirPods 😫 I can’t with that Taptic gestures! It’s so much easier to tap then press 😊

Apple: Makes the same damn thing with one improvement and repeats this process.

[williehall]

Imagine reselling the same product but adding a higher price 😂

[eugenn]

Just make it black so that they look consistent with Apple's other products.

i have airpod 3, my absolute favorite out of all of them. i can’t wait to get the $180 model 4. i like this design better because they don’t go inside the ear, and make my ear sweaty and irritated

If the base model AirPods 4 come with Transparency Mode I'll buy them without a second thought!
That's the only feature I really want but you can only get with the in-ear AirPods Pro that are uncomfortable and overpriced.
