Introducing AirPods ​4: Revolutionizing Open-Back‌ Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation

Apple has taken the world of audio technology‍ by storm with the launch of AirPods⁣ 4, a semi-open Bluetooth headset that comes in two versions: a standard model and an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) model. ​The latter ‍is a game-changer, being ‌the first open-back earphone to offer active noise cancellation. But what makes ⁤it so magical,⁢ and how much does ⁤it cost?

Design and Features of AirPods 4

The AirPods 4 standard model boasts an improved battery life and dynamic unit sound. The design is similar to its⁤ predecessor, AirPods⁢ 3, but with a few tweaks, including a relocated black sensor position. The earphones support USB-C and wireless charging,​ providing up to ⁤30 hours of battery life with the charging case. The new dynamic unit enhances sound‍ quality, and the “voice isolation” function effectively reduces environmental noise during calls and recordings.

Introducing AirPods 4​ ANC: A ⁣Game-Changer in⁢ Open-Back‍ Headphones

The AirPods 4‍ ANC version⁤ is a groundbreaking innovation that⁣ offers active noise cancellation in an open-back⁤ earphone. This is a significant departure from traditional ANC headphones, which require earplugs to isolate sound. The AirPods 4 ANC achieves ⁣sound isolation through advanced technology, making it a must-have for audiophiles.

Additional Features of AirPods 4

Both AirPods 4 ⁢models come with‍ a⁣ range of practical​ features, including penetration ‍mode, dialogue sensing automatic stop sound isolation mode, and ambient sound self-adjusting volume mode. The high-end version also supports ANC⁣ (Active ⁣Noise Cancellation).

Price and Release Date of AirPods 4

The AirPods 4⁢ standard model is priced ‍at $1,099 HKD, while the ​ANC version costs $1,499 HKD. Pre-orders are now available, with the products set to go on sale on September ⁢20th. Each customer is limited to six pairs of AirPods 4 and ⁢six ⁢pairs of AirPods 4 ANC models.

Enhanced ‌Hearing Health Features with iOS18

Apple‌ has also announced that the new system iOS18 will allow users to ⁢self-test their hearing​ using AirPods Pro2. The headset can⁢ be reset to provide the same ‌functions ⁣as a hearing aid, ‌helping users⁣ improve their hearing. ⁤This feature is ‌a significant step forward in promoting ⁤hearing health.

AirPods Max: New Colors and Improved Charging Case

While there is no new version of AirPods Pro 2, the head-mounted AirPods Max has been updated with a USB-C charging case and two ‌new colors: Purple and Orange. The price remains at $4,599 in Hong Kong.
