Custom spatial audio with dynamic head tracking delivers an immersive listening experience.
The redesigned charging case is smaller and supports wireless charging via Apple Watch charger, USB-C cable, or Qi-certified chargers. AirPods 4 provide up to four hours of listening with active noise cancellation enabled, and up to 20 hours with the charging case. Battery life extends to 30 hours without noise cancellation.
