Are the AirPods 4 (ANC) worth it?
Absolutely they are very worth it they have very great audio quality (tested with Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify) if you want the best sound quality and best surround sound (Dolby Atmos) use Apple Music or Tidal spotify quality isnt showing the AirPods full potential they last pretty long and the ANC isn’t like the AirPods Pro 2 but it’s still great for everyday use and flights also they are very easy to find if you lose them because the tracking is amazing it doesn’t have precision finding like AirPods Pro 2 but its very easy to find with playing a sound because the new speakers but the real question is AirPods 4 ANC or AirPods Pro 2? Well it depends on comfort and sound quality also ANC the ANC on the pros is 2 times better but still great on the 4s the comfort is the AirPods 4 the acoustic sounding is the best on the AirPods Pro but remember the AirPods 4 still have amazing sound quality the AirPods 4 ANC and Pros are currently same price so i would recommend both but it depends on which you want!

Very good, slightly overpriced.
My full on detailed review after 3 days of use. Okay, first things first, ANC is solid for what the buds are and without the eartip. It has no issues knocking an aircon out of the room or the buzzing of a refrigerator. Positives: This may be apples SMALLEST available package of any electronics. The case itself is probably the smallest case ever released onto the open market, which makes it easily portably in a bag, a pocket, or a purse. This is also in my opinion, the BEST case on the market for these reasons. These buds are COMFORTABLE so long as they fit. I had my girlfriend try these and she said they weren’t great, but I can happily wear these for their entire battery life with no ear fatigue. Finally, these have the best transparency mode of any buds I’ve ever tried (I’ve owned 8 or 9 wireless buds at this point in my life) and it honestly feels like I’m not wearing anything. Negatives: For what these buds are, they’re overpriced for sure. These should be about $150 max. The buds themselves only have 4 hour battery lives, which means if you’re someone who wears buds at work or some other public environment, you’re gonna have to charge em at some point. ANC isn’t great, if you’re in a noisy area, you’re gonna have to turn your music or media up quite a lot to actually drown the noise out. This IS to be expected but it’s still a bit of a downside (still the best “open ear” ANC on the market though). Overall I’d give these an 8/10. They sound pretty good as all airpods have, they’re well built, and they provide a strong package. Personally, I like them more than the AirPods Pro 2 but these are overpriced. If you’re debating on these or the pros 2 and don’t care about price, get the Pros 2, but if you’re looking for a good set of buds WITH AN APPLE DEVICE while also trying to save a buck, these are a great choice.

A more comfortable alternative to airpod pros
These are my first experience with the newer airpod shape. I find them really comfortable and even a little more secure fitting than than the original airpods. I had a pair of airpods pro, but I have always found "gummy" head phones to be uncomfortable. The noise cancellation is not near as good as the pros, but will serve their purpose in loud environments. The music sound quality with apple music seems to be great. It looks like the charging case has the same design (though smaller) and will be plagued by the corrosion issues that past airpods have also had. All around, I think these are a great and more comfortable alternative to airpod pros.
