Very helpful. When the thread started I mentioned that it sounded like my air pod max. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2024 12:17 PM Subject: RE: Airpods 4
Different from what would be my question. If you mean different from Airpods 2 or 3 then simply different in that it is a new generation with a newer chip and you can get them either with or without noise cancellation for the first time. I think at least it’s the first time that active noise cancellation is offered with the regular Airpods, before this was only available with the Airpods Pro. If you mean how are they different to Airpods Pro then the answer would be that they don’t have a thingi with a silicon piece which stick inside your ear canal. They are basically like a set of wired Earpods if you were to cut the cable off. I was very impressed by the active noise cancellation of the Airpods 4. When you have ANC on a set of Airpods Pro which basically completely seal your ear canal from outside noise or even with a big over the head and over the ear headset like the Airpod Max, a certain amount of noise reduction is already achieved by blocking your ears. But when you take the Airpod 4 which just sits in the outer part of your ear just like the wired Earpods, I would say 90% to 95% of outside noice can still be heard which is why I like wearing my wired Earpods so much when I am walking and want to listen to a book or to directions from the GPS etc. I often only put in the right side which means my left ear is entirely unobstructed and I still hear very well with my right ear as well. When I tried the Airpod 4 with ANC at the Apple Store I could hear just as much when I first put them in my ears, but as soon as he turned on the ANC, it was like closing the very thick door to a well insulated room and just about all the noise went away. If you have never experienced this, it’s like magic. Then when the Apple employee was speaking to me he turned on transparency mode and suddenly it was like opening that door again and I could hear just fine. I am definitely going to order a pair of these and already ordered a set of these ear hooks as well as a cable/string gadget to connect them together since I know for sure it wouldn’t take long for me to lose them. Hopefully this won’t happen with those accessories.

I placed the order via the Apple Store website for pick up at an Apple Store near my hotel and while I was there asked to have a brief demo of the Airpods 4 with noise cancellation. I always thought Airpods had a thingi which sticks inside your ear, but the Apple Store employee told me that only the Airpod Pro has that and the regular Airpods are basically not really all that different than the wired Earpods except of course they don’t have a wire. I hate anything sticking in my ear hence I’d never buy the Airpods Pro, but I must say that I was very surprised by the regular Airpods 4. When he enabled the noise cancellation feature all the noise in the Apple Store which are typically very noisy, just about vanished like somebody closed a thick door and I couldn’t even hear the employee speaking to me from a few feet away. He then turned on transparency mode and to my surprise I could hear him and everything around me perfectly. Once again, I assumed that this feature would result in less than optimal hearing of what is going on around you and that naybe it would sound artificial, but it really is amazing how good it sounds. I am at this point pretty much sold on these little things with one exception and that is the ease of how they may fall out and get lost. I have hand injuries and am missing a couple of fingers on each hand and at one point when I tried to try to use the play/pause function I accidently knocked it loose and even just there in the store it bounced off the table and fell down. I’m sure I would get a hang of them in time, but I was wondering if anybody is using any sort of gadget to connect them together with a string or cable. I think it’s silly of Apple not to design them with a small loop/hole so you could at least connect them together, but while I haven’t looked yet, I assume third party solutions exist which accomplish this?
