Apple’s recent iPhone event wasn’t just about phones; it brought a wave of exciting updates to the company’s audio lineup. Leading the charge are the brand new AirPods 4, boasting the powerful H2 chip for enhanced features like personalized spatial audio and improved highs and bass performance. The AirPods 4 also come in a compact USB-C charging case, making it one of the smallest we’ve seen yet. Interestingly, Apple is offering two versions of the AirPods 4: one with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and another without, a novel approach for open-back designs like these. Naturally, both versions feature adaptive mode and transparency functionalities.
Adding to the audio excitement, Apple unveiled five new colors for the AirPods Max: midnight, blue, purple, orange, and starlight. These stylish additions come equipped with USB-C charging ports to match the latest iPhone models.
The AirPods Pro 2 also received a significant update, incorporating new health features. The most notable addition is the ability to use them as hearing aids. While hardware updates remain on the horizon, the AirPods Pro 2, with their new health functionality, are a compelling option.
