The Apple AirPods 4 ANC are great semi-in-ears that have a lot to offer technically. The active noise cancellation proved to be effective when tested and the TWS headphones are particularly impressive in terms of sound. The same applies to the transparency mode. The head gestures are very practical in everyday use...

    The new AirPods 4 are remarkable: many people find their non-sealing design more comfortable compared to sealing models. The bass reproduction, which is otherwise often weak, works really well with the new 4s and the overall sound balance is pleasant and pleasing. The AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation can also reduce stress levels considerably - for a tolerable extra 50 euros...
