Their only available color is, as always with AirPods, white and they have a charging case with a USB-C port. The sound is said to be better than the AirPods 2 or AirPods 3, especially with the spatial audio technology and the new integrated chip.

The more premium AirPods 4 are closer to the AirPods Pro, especially in their price. They have an in-ear design with an earpiece that sits directly in the ear canal for sounds and music played by your smartphone. These AirPods 4 XXX also have noise reduction technology and spatial audio, but that certainly doesn't match the quality AirPods Pro 2 launched at the end of 2022 and which remain Apple's most expensive headphones.

What is the price of the AirPods 4 ?

These new AirPods 4 therefore remove the famous AirPods 2 from Apple's catalog. They are placed respectively between the AirPods 3 and the AirPods 4 concerning their prices which will depend on the model you wish.

AirPods 4 are available at from 149 euros in France. Count 199 euros if you want to add noise reduction.
