Unleash Pure Sound: AirPods 4 Revolutionize Audio with Jaw-Dropping Price and Groundbreaking ANC Technology
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.
