Pre-order Apple AirPods 4 and AirPods Max now, and they’ll be in stores on Friday, September 20. In over 100 countries and territories, AirPods Pro 2 customers will get new hearing health features this autumn.
Active Noise Cancellation and the most improved audio experience ever in an open-ear design are available with Apple AirPods 4, according to Apple senior vice president of Hardware Engineering John Ternus. “AirPods Pro will benefit over a billion hearing-impaired individuals with revolutionary Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features.”
AirPods 4 Define the Industry
The original AirPods featured wireless simplicity and effortless connection with the Apple ecosystem with outstanding sound quality, up to 24-hour battery life with the charging case, and an iconic style. Apple AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC improve that experience with a new fit and strong features.
Apple AirPods 4 are Apple’s greatest open-ear headphones ever, establishing a new standard for fit and comfort. The new design employs 3D photogrammetry and laser topography to record and analyze hundreds of ear shapes and over 50 million data points. This refined the design to provide the most comfortable AirPods yet with one form that fits more consumers worldwide.
Apple AirPods 4‘s innovative acoustic design, low-distortion driver, high dynamic range amplifier, and Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking increase sound quality for the most immersive media experience. AirPods 4’s H2 chip unlocks intelligent audio experiences only Apple silicon can deliver, such as Voice Isolation for clearer calls in any environment and Siri Interactions for nodding or gently shaking to respond to Siri announcements.
AirPods 4’s force sensor on the stem lets you play or stop media and mute or finish conversations with a push. AirPods 4’s H2 chip provides minimal wireless audio latency and outstanding sound quality for conversing with teammates and other players, featuring 16-bit, 48kHz audio.
The charging case now has USB-C charging and is 10% smaller than its predecessor, all while providing up to 30 hours of battery life.3 The industry’s tiniest wireless charging case, Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, is 50mm wide and can be charged using an Apple Watch or Qi-certified charger in addition to a USB-C cable.
AirPods 4 Offer Open-Ear ANC
AirPods 4 adds an open-ear variant with ANC for the first time. AirPods 4 with ANC minimize noise from jet engines, city traffic, and more with improved microphones, the H2 chip, and computational audio. Apple AirPods 4 with ANC use hardware and software to deliver the most natural listening experience, including Transparency mode to keep users aware of their environment, Adaptive Audio, which dynamically blends Transparency mode and ANC based on a user’s environment, and Conversation Awareness, which lowers media volume when they start talking to someone nearby.

The first all-in-one hearing health device is AirPods Pro 2
WHO estimates 1.5 billion people suffer hearing loss.
Apple is delivering an end-to-end hearing health experience based on years of development, including the Noise app on Apple Watch, headphone audio levels with iPhone, hearing accessibility features, and the Apple Hearing Study.
According to the Apple Hearing Study, one in three persons are constantly exposed to loud ambient noise that may damage hearing. Common examples include riding the train to work, mowing the yard, going to a game, and more. AirPods Pro has Hearing Protection to protect users from strong external noise while keeping their music.
The H2 chip actively reduces louder, more intermittent noise at 48,000 times per second, while the ear tips minimize passive noise. On by default in all listening modes, Hearing Protection helps in noisy environments. An all-new multiband high dynamic range algorithm keeps concert sounds realistic and bright so consumers don’t miss a beat.
With AirPods Pro and a compatible iPhone or iPad, Apple is adding a scientifically proven Hearing Test function that lets consumers evaluate their hearing at home in minutes. The exam is easy to take, using pure-tone audiometry, sophisticated acoustic science, and is interactive. After taking the test, users will get an easy-to-understand overview of their findings in a tailored AirPods Pro hearing profile in their Health app. Users may discuss these findings with their doctors for more informed discussions.
Apple vice president of Health Sumbul Desai, M.D., stated, “Hearing health is an essential part of our overall wellbeing, yet it can often be overlooked in fact, according to the Apple Hearing Study, a staggering 75% of people diagnosed with hearing loss go untreated. We’re excited to provide innovative software capabilities with AirPods Pro that prioritize hearing health, including new methods to test for and treat hearing loss.”
The AirPods Pro also provide a unique, over-the-counter hearing aid for mild to moderate hearing loss. This new function effortlessly turns AirPods Pro into a clinical-grade hearing aid using the Hearing Test’s unique hearing profile. After setup, the function boosts audio in real time with tailored dynamic changes.
This improves discussion and connects users to their surroundings. AirPods Pro’s outstanding audio quality applies the user’s unique hearing profile to music, movies, games, and phone conversations across devices without any settings. This first-ever software-based Hearing Aid feature lets users customize their experience at any moment, making hearing aids more accessible and affordable.
Hearing health professionals may develop audiograms for the Hearing Aid feature. Thorough scientific investigations confirmed the Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features. The Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features will be accessible this autumn in over 100 countries and regions, including the US, Germany, and Japan, when global health regulators approve marketing.Image Credit To Apple
After the Hearing Test, consumers may customize AirPods Pro listening using their hearing profile. More individuals, even those without hearing loss, may benefit from frequency-specific modifications. Media Assist, a new function, boosts phone call voice and soundtrack elements to enable a wider audience listen better.
AirPods limit their environmental effect. The new Apple AirPods 4 feature 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets and 100% recycled gold in numerous printed circuit boards. The case’s primary logic board solder and hinge are made of 100% recycled tin and aluminum. Mercury, BFRs, and PVC are absent from Apple AirPods 4. Apple gets closer to its 2025 plastic-free packaging goal with 100% fiber-based AirPods packaging. Apple lowered package capacity by 30% compared to the previous generation, reducing shipping emissions and heading toward carbon neutrality by 2030.
