Here are the key highlights of the new AirPods 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>AirPods<\/strong>, developed by Apple for iPhone users, now function not just as <strong>earbuds<\/strong> but virtually as a <strong>smart assistant<\/strong>. The <strong>Live Translation<\/strong> feature, which comes with <strong>iOS 26<\/strong>, pushes the boundaries of technology. All you need to do is select your own language and the language of the person you are speaking to. The <strong>AirPods<\/strong> take care of the rest, instantly transmitting the translation to your ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new update, languages such as Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Chinese have also been added to the supported list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Noise Cancellation<\/strong> is Now More Powerful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-1.webp 820w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-1-768x511.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-1-150x100.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>AirPods 4<\/strong> series has become almost flawless in terms of design and performance. One model in the series features <strong>Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)<\/strong>. Although this model is slightly more expensive, the silence and focus it offers provide a major advantage, especially for traveling users. Apple&#8217;s <strong>noise cancellation<\/strong> technology is regarded as one of the most successful systems in the industry. Regardless of crowd, traffic, or office noise, you can easily focus on your music or your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Touch Controls<\/strong>: Manage Everything Without Reaching for Your Phone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking out your phone from your pocket to change a song or adjust the volume can sometimes be a chore. With the <strong>AirPods 4<\/strong>, this trouble is completely eliminated. You can now perform many operations directly from the <strong>earbuds<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single tap<\/strong>: Plays\/pauses media, answers, or ends an incoming call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Double tap<\/strong>: Skips to the next song or ends a call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Triple tap<\/strong>: Returns to the previous song.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Press and hold<\/strong>: Activates <strong>Siri<\/strong>. You can also answer Siri by shaking your head instead of giving a voice response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The physical pairing button has been removed on the new <strong>AirPods 4<\/strong>. Instead, a hidden <strong>touch-sensitive sensor<\/strong> has been added. It is the same in function, only the feel is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Way to Increase <strong>Battery Life<\/strong>: Turn Off <strong>ANC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-2.webp 820w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-2-300x252.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-2-768x645.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-2-150x126.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The new <strong>AirPods 4<\/strong> models offer up to <strong>5 hours of use<\/strong> on a single charge. This period can extend up to <strong>30 hours<\/strong> with the charging case. However, if you turn on the <strong>Active Noise Cancellation<\/strong> feature, this duration drops to <strong>20 hours<\/strong>. Therefore, turning on <strong>ANC<\/strong> only when you really need it would be the most logical choice in terms of <strong>battery life<\/strong>. On the other hand, if you want to use the <strong>Adaptive Audio<\/strong> feature, it is important to remember that it consumes more battery than <strong>ANC<\/strong> and Transparency mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adaptive Audio<\/strong>: Smart Reaction Based on the Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-3.webp 820w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-3-300x174.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-3-768x445.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-3-150x87.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature combines <strong>Transparency Mode<\/strong> and <strong>Noise Cancellation Mode<\/strong> to automatically adjust according to your surroundings. The cancellation level increases when you enter a noisy environment and decreases when you move to a quiet area. Additionally, the <strong>Personalized Volume<\/strong> feature learns your music listening habits and adjusts the volume level according to the environment. The <strong>Conversation Awareness<\/strong> mode automatically lowers the volume when someone speaks to you, allowing you to hear the other person. This allows you to talk without taking off the <strong>earbuds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using with <strong>Apple TV<\/strong> for Nighttime Silence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-4.webp 820w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-4-300x134.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-4-768x342.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-4-150x67.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Having to turn down the volume while watching a movie at night is now a thing of the past. You can watch at any volume level you desire by pairing your <strong>Apple TV<\/strong> with your <strong>AirPods<\/strong>. When you log in with your Apple account, a connection notification appears on the screen as soon as you put on your <strong>AirPods<\/strong>. <strong>Touch controls<\/strong>, <strong>noise cancellation<\/strong>, and other features work just as they do on the iPhone. However, if you want to make more detailed adjustments, you need to do them via your iPhone or Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it Safe to Use While <strong>Exercising<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-5.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-5.webp 820w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-5-300x90.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-5-768x231.webp 768w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/New-AirPods-4-Apples-Smartest-Earbuds-5-150x45.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the <strong>AirPods<\/strong> series is not specifically produced for athletes, they are <strong>sweat and water splash resistant<\/strong>. The <strong>AirPods 3, 4, and Pro<\/strong> models have an <strong>IP54 certification<\/strong>. This protects them from dust and sweat. Still, it is important to remember that they are not completely <strong>waterproof<\/strong>. To mitigate the risk of them falling out during <strong>exercise<\/strong>, it is a good idea to test whether they fit securely. Especially since the <strong>AirPods 4<\/strong> are produced in a single size, it is beneficial to test them before your workout if they do not fit your ear perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/unitree-humanoid-robots-to-handle-baggage-at-tokyo-airport\/\">Unitree Humanoid Robots to Handle Baggage at Tokyo Airport<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/kuku-maker-review\/\">KUKU Maker Review: The Future of Centrifugal Coffee Extraction<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/can-artificial-intelligence-replace-your-doctor\/\">Can Artificial Intelligence Replace Your Doctor?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AirPods 4 elevate the experience for iPhone users with Live Translation, enhanced Noise Cancellation, and Adaptive Audio features.
