Apple Announces AirPods 4 With ANC, and AirPods Max Finally Gets an Update After Four Years

AirPods 4 Finally Get ANC

Apple has finally released the fourth iteration of its popular AirPods. The new model is called the AirPods 4 and it comes with a number of new features, including active noise cancellation (ANC). ANC is a feature that uses microphones to listen for outside noise and then cancels it out with an equal and opposite sound wave. This can be very effective at blocking out noise and creating a more immersive listening experience.

In addition to ANC, the AirPods 4 also come with a new design, spatial audio with head tracking, longer battery life, and improved resistance to sweat and water. The new design is slightly smaller and lighter than the previous model, making them more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time.

AirPods Max Get an Update

In addition to the AirPods 4, Apple also released an update for the AirPods Max. The new update adds a number of new features to the AirPods Max, including spatial audio with head tracking, support for MagSafe charging, and improved battery life.

Spatial audio with head tracking is a feature that uses the accelerometers and gyroscopes in the AirPods Max to track the movement of your head. This allows the AirPods Max to adjust the sound so that it always seems to be coming from the right direction, even if you are moving your head around.

The AirPods Max now also support MagSafe charging, which means that you can charge them by simply placing them on a MagSafe charger. This is a much more convenient way to charge your AirPods Max than using the Lightning connector.

Pricing and Availability

The AirPods 4 are available now for $249. The AirPods Max are still priced at $549. Both models are available in a variety of colors, including white, black, gray, blue, and green.
