The first review of Apple’s new AirPods 4 are out, and while there are some qualifications and some disagreements, every single reviewer has called out Apple for surprisingly great noise cancellation. They also all note that that while the extra $50 for the more expensive version is worth it, Apple has now made it harder to choose between models.
To be clear, Apple has released two versions of the AirPods 4 at $129 and $179. Neither will have the health features that are coming to the updated AirPods Pro, but they do both have improved sound.
