A bit disappointed in his review, active noise cancellation was never designed to get rid of talking, the algorithms work to remove disruptions such as cars on a street or engine noise in a plane, but none of that was mentioned.
The way active noise cancellation works is by sending the opposite sound wave to cancel them out. Which works best for constant white sounds, but stuff like music or talking that creates a variety of different sounds, it’ll struggle to cancel that out

Just picked up the airpods 4 ANC yesterday and so far I am absoloutly LOVING them. As an autistic, the ANC and ability the listen to lofi (which calms me down) is borderline life changing. I tried out the pro 2s in the store and personally though the 4s sounded better - the quality is the best I've heard in headphones so far and I'm so far incredibly happy with them!
Thanks, this is exactly the sort of review that I needed! Also autistic and I don’t always want to wear over ear headphones and the AirPods pro2 are uncomfortable in my ear (and also reduce too much for me to interact with people when necessary)!
@@sparrow8072 Ahh I'm so glad I could help! (Always feels good to help a fellow autistic) But genuienly really happy I could help and completely relate to what you're saying about the ANC reducing too much noise.
What this video doesn't mention is that the noise canceling feature completely gets rid of any low end noises like the rumbling of a car/plane engine. The fact is that because of the looser seal in the ear, the earbuds can't get rid of any high end frequencies because there is room for the sound to sneak in you ear (even if they fit perfectly)
@@greenmatrix30seven did you get the noise cancellation or no noise cancellation because I’m thinking about ordering ones without noise cancellation just because like I don’t really care too much for noise cancellation or not I just wanna know the quality
Ykw? It’s funny you mention that cuz yes I did get the regular 1s w/o noise cancellation. Besides they’re cheaper. Maybe in the future sure I’d get the noise cancellation 1s. The thing is… the AirPod pro 2s already do that. ( which I have my eyes on next) And they’re expensive but they’re worth it cuz of what they do ( including adjusting and adapting to noise outside and noise cancellation). + w/ them now soon able to be used as hearing aids? You just can’t go wrong.
@@greenmatrix30seven oh so the airpods 4 w/o noise canceling is it like still very loud?? cause now i feel like everyone is getting ones with noise canceling cause like now i feel left out but idk 😭😭😭
I have the 4 with anc on an Android. I must say these do pretty well 70% of the noise can I take public transportation and I live in the city of Chicago. Obviously it's not going to knock out everything but it does better than most non-air tip earbuds
My AirPods Pro fall out of my ear like crazy. Especially when I chew or talk. I never had that problem with my old og AirPods. So I’m probably gonna pick these up
Never liked active noise canceling because of the "pressure" effect I get while its on, but I've come to love how the the seal of in ear buds can passively reduce a lot of outise noise and also boost that bass.
I’m hearing impaired on one ear and I run on roads. I’m already at disadvantaged with my hearing lol so noise cancellation was never really a big thing for me. Besides, it’s kinda dangerous to totally not hear your surroundings since I mostly use my headset when I’m outside or watching movies or YT at night. Just checking since my 3rd gen is already 3 yrs old.
lol buy apple not that brand that paid him for crappy buds. I wish he actually knew that the noise cancellation is for things like airplanes and constant noises. pretty much most things besides talking right to you. they cancel pretty well for everything else!!
I travel a lot and these gets rid of turbine noice in planes, a/c in hotels and traffic while on the road. You won't understand until you activate and then deactivate the noice cancellation.
I had the original pros and lost them recently i think i’m gonna get the regular now. The only thing i will say about the pros is my ear does get sore after a while of wearing them cuz it completelt closes it off and its harder for me to hear and i usually wear one all day at work so i think the regular will work out better for me. I am worried about the gym how well theyll stay but they seemed to stay fine for him.
As an Android User who is using aipods 4 with ANC, the earbuds fit my ears perfectly and I must say it does a great job of canceling out about 70% of the noise and you're still here stuff but not as much as you would good this is coming from an Android user to props to Apple for this
Yes the 4 cancellation is worth it, i use them at my construction job and everything. Settings come in handy and its nice to have options. The 4 pros id imagine are even better.
My Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have the same problem, when I like the music , I start singing and the Buds lower the volume for a while. I have to hum the music instead of singing ....
Wow. This Airpods 4 is awesome. If I have that I would not worry about the eartips being broken. I have the pro 2 but I can’t use it at the moment because the tip is broken, and small ones fall in my ears too easily.
their returns policy says "opened software cannot be returned if it contained a seal with the software license on the outside of the package and you could read the software license before opening its packaging" is that relevant to these? I want to be able to try them first and return them if they don't work for me, but if i chave to unseal something to get to them that prevents me from returning them then tf?
Lou or Mo, how do you feel about bluetooth 5.3 and improved connectivity between an iphone and MB Pro? I have the Gen 3 airpods and the random switching between them drives me nuts. Does BT 5.3 fix this? Looking for advice. Thanks. BTW ... I love my latercase on my 13 Pro Max
I have the Pro 2 and the 3rd gen and i honestly think that the 3rd gen is better because the pros fall out of my ear and are just not comfortable but the 3rd gen that just sits in my ear is so much better and it doesn't fall out unless you don't have them in right because people say "they always fall out" but they only fall out if you have them in the wrong way. So I'm thinking about getting the 4th gen with ACN because i like ACN but i don't like when its ACN almost all the time like the Pros do.
Lew, lew, lew I genuinely miss your podcast lew later. Don't forget us audience, lew. We want you and mo and also willy silly wonka to come right back to lew later. Missing you so badly. Don't be stranger to lew later. We patiently await your come back. ❤❤
Just bought these, i upgraded from the 3rd gen. I upgraded because I wanted type C and I’m sick of having to keep a lightening cable around. The noise cancellation is very good, considering you don’t have the gel tips plugged into your ear. Compared to my other the ear XM5s, of course they aren’t at that level, however they work well enough.
The earwax problem is one of the reasons why I REFUSE to get the pros 😂. Since you have to shove that thing so far into your ear canal, that’s thing’s gonna be filled with earwax so damn quick. And it’s gonna be disgusting 🤮. But, I refuse to have to clean them every single day. That’s why I’m sticking to the 4s. At least I only have to clean once a week instead of everyday
Look I love your vid so but you gotta realize the point isn’t to prevent you from hearing people it’s so that if there’s a lot of background noise it filters it out, if your talking to someone or someone is talking to you directly you wanna hear it so the AirPods will let you

It’s not really a review, more like a first impression since he just tried them out right there at the desk

I do agree with Moe, it’s one of the most annoying thing there is when you’re singing, all of a sudden volume goes down
This has been my problem with that feature. It’s not unusual for anyone to sing along with what they’re listening to. And then the music disappears. 😢

The noise cancelling feature works really well on these best of both worlds, I would really recommend for those that done want the right seal types.
The irony of him calling things “expensive” while hawking $60 phone cases is palpable.

Well they tried to mold it to most ppls ears. They fit just fine for me. Then again every1s ears are different. Guess there’s only 1 way to find out

Completely agree with Lew about noice cancelling when you are alone and the fear of missing something happening around you😂😂
Hope this shows the actual airpods instead of a anker product...

For some reason, airpods don't stay in my ears. So I have always opted for other types of wireless earbuds, but the AirPods 4 look pretty nice....
It’s the pro that has the softer tip. My ear doesn’t get fatigued whereas if I use those, it hurts my ear after a while.
Wow, the sound quality in the AirPods 4 is phenomenal, but adding noise cancellation really takes it to the next level! Such a game-changer!
Waking up in the morning, watching a new video from unbox therapy is the best..
Die AirPods haben meinen Alltag verändert. Die kabellose Freiheit und die Klangqualität sind super. Besonders praktisch beim Sport oder unterwegs!
I’ve always hated the little in ear gell thingy makes my ears feel like there plugged up like when I go up to the mountains
would you y’all say the airpod pro 2 are better than the Airpod max at noise cancellation?
Damn, the box actually shrunk
This set is insane
1:22 literally one made in vietnam and other other in china
I'm glad they god rid of the stupid rubber flap. That stuff always makes the earphone fall out of my ear.
Craziest part about the headphones is that they DONT come with the charger wire!! Pay that much and can’t get a new charger?!? Crazy
What happens when the EU forced Apple to change it to USB-Type C lol. Now they have no reason and an excuse to not ship with a cord anymore.
Finally i’ve been waiting for this review!

The difference is one got noise cancellation and the other one didn't and they also got different prices, but it looks the same that's it.

oh yeah noise cancellation and making noise work well together.
All I gotta say is that there’s a reason AirPods 2 pro cost more
AirPods 4 £129 / with NC £179 I think I can tell the difference
Does AirPods 4 have transparency without ANC, I want to use them at work but also clearly hear my surroundings
Hey, I would say that you didn`t test the NC in city conditions. They are not like the pro but the difference in the city is quite visible.

I remember when this wasn't just a tech review channel.
Just get the old AirPods v2 they have MagSafe wireless charging (they got rid of wireless charging AND MagSafe ?!) no need for the noise cancelling
Just get the AirPod pro 2 they are freaking amazing. But the in ear does make my ear itch after a few hours.
HE IS RIGHT !!! I hate that feature I hope it’s an off and on option
thanks a lot, been helpful
Do they leak a lot off noise?
Wheres the Galaxy buds 3 review?
So the Noise Canceling AirPods 4 are assembled in Vietnam, and the basic AP4’s are assembled in China, interesting 🤔
Good idea to use them with Pixel phone considering pixel buds don’t come such design?
