They deliver Personalised Spatial Audio, Adaptive EQ, and clearer calls, in a redesigned shape that's smaller and more comfortable than previous generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo these have noise cancellation?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNo.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the standard AirPods 4. Apple sells a separate model — \u003cem\u003eAirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation\u003c\/em\u003e — if you specifically want ANC. This version relies on the open-ear fit, which lets ambient sound through by design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the open-ear design good or bad?\u003c\/strong\u003e It depends what you want. There are \u003cstrong\u003eno silicone ear tips\u003c\/strong\u003e, so nothing is inserted into your ear canal. Many people find that far more comfortable for long sessions, and it keeps you aware of traffic, announcements, and colleagues. The trade-off is less passive noise isolation than sealed in-ear buds — on a plane or a noisy commute, you'll hear more of your surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the battery last?\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to \u003cstrong\u003e5 hours of listening on a single charge\u003c\/strong\u003e, and up to \u003cstrong\u003e30 hours total\u003c\/strong\u003e using the charging case.
