It's official: Apple has launched the AirPods 4 wireless earbuds, and it's not quite what we expected. The AirPods 4 feature the more powerful H2 chip, an updated charging case featuring USB-C port, personalised spatial audio, and "massive improvements in audio quality" thanks to new acoustic architecture.
What's the surprise? There are two model variants of the AirPods 4: one with active noise-cancelling and one without. The standard model (without ANC) will cost $129 / £129 while the one with ANC will cost $179 / £179 when they go on sale on 20th September.
