I have had an ear infection in my right ear and silicon tips are uncomfortable ever since. I upgraded from AirPods 2 to AirPods 4 w/ ANC. I am extremely happy with the upgrade. The move from lightning to USB-C and wireless, and the anc/ transparency mode was well worth the upgrade. There is a noticeable improvement in the low-end frequencies as well.

[@Austin16652]

Here’s what I’ve noticed, the silicone tips aren’t comfortable for everyone. Some people prefer the open ear design. The noise canceling is going to sound better on the Pros 2 because of them creating a seal. I have the 4s and there solid earbuds and fit comfortably, with no ear pain. It’s all down to personal preference. Do you prefer silicone and better noice canceling or would you prefer the better comfort if you prefer that and less noise canceling. Don’t sleep on the noise canceling on the 4s though it’s solid!

[@kingreko1780]

The 4’s have sound leakage, everyone around can hear what you’re listening to

[@TechnoMasterHD]

@@kingreko1780yea just picked mine up and it’s crazy how much they leak

[@hydzior]

Nothing to compare here. Airpods Pro 2 are clear winner. Nothing will replace in ear tips for sound and noise cancelling.

[@AppleInsider]

But.. that's a comparison. Of course the sealed high-end ones sound better. But what are the other differences? Is the cost tradeoff worth it?

[@peterxiao6217]

This is just one aspect of earbuds. Comfort is also important and some ppl just dont find ear tips comfortable. Even if it is technically better but you can’t wear it for more than 10min, what is the point?

[@DigiDriftZone]

I would also add that sometimes you have specific use cases, I know this is overkill but personally I ended up getting these three for their specific use cases: Max: You have space in your bag, you want maximum ANC (plane / train / coffee shop, etc), you're not doing anything active and it's not a hot day (when it's hot, they're not the most comfortable) - these get around 20% use for me, more so in autumn/winter. Pro 2: You're travelling light, you're not going to wear them for an extended period, you're not going to excessively sweat like on a jog (they start to come out then), you're not taking long calls (sounds unnatural with silicone in your ears) - these also get around 20% use for me, more so in summer/spring. 4 ANC: You're in a quiet to medium loudness environment, or you're doing intense exercise, you're taking many prolonged calls and using them for extended periods or you're frequently putting them on / taking them off - these get around 60% use for me.

I’ve ordered the upper/mid tier AirPods 4. Arriving either tomorrow or Wednesday

[@IlseVargas3]

The AirPods 4 with noise canceling are amazing! And they fit perfectly!

[@kindlekittens]

Question that might be weird, so the pros have silicone while the 4's are open, is one better for your hearing? Like if 4's leak does that mean its not all effecting my hearing since its leaking out, or is its open hole being closer to my ear cause more problems? Does the silicone around the pros protect my hearing more? Or does it make it worse since sound doesn’t escape?

[@SthairyaGowda]

Guys if u dont like eartips at all get the 4 anc but if u jus dont like the sillicone ones.try foam eartips they might be better for u.Also if u dont have a problem with eartips in general (which is most people). if u live in the USA u can get the airpods pro 2 with much more features and better sound quality and anc for just 10 usd more.also u can get the same type of esr case promoted in the video for the airpods pro 2 as well for the exact same price on amazon.hope this helped

[@P1_M1ND]

Apples strategy is to make you curious enough about the 4’s that you’ll buy them which you will. And then when the pro 3’s come out you’ll by those as well. It’s perfected perpetual consumerism. I own both as well.

[@greasyrails2571]

Perfectly said. This is all a marketing strategy

Im sitting here like oh no what if airpod pro 2's silicone makes my ears itchy or uncomfortable like I haven’t just used them 24/7 for like 3 years 😭 Im doubting myself now

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Had the OG AirPods Pro, upgraded to the AIrPods Pro 2. Nice upgrade and Best Buy bought my old air to bring the price down.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Airpods Pro 2's for me, simply for the fact they stay in my ears better. Great information, and thanks for sharing.

[@StarQueenEstrella]

If I had to pick, it would be the ANC AirPods 4. My only real question is: how do these fit during a workout? I imagine they’ll do fine on a walk or even a light jog, but if they don’t do well otherwise, I’ll probably use something like the Beats Fit Pro for more dynamic workouts.

[@rickiehoxton]

For my AirPods 3, I have some silicone covers with “wings” which fit them into the folds of my ear. They work quite well and are cheap as chips on AliExpress. I’m sure they’ll have the same for AirPods 4 soon, if they don’t already…

[@zephyre6613]

Does airpods 4 has the nod to answer the call feature ? Or its for pro only ?

[@Lildebbie428]

they do in settings

[@techheadmani2284]

[@rebow2568]

The AirPod Max and the AirPods Pro 2 have up to two times more Active Noise Cancellation compared with the AirPods 4 with ANC and the first-generation AirPods Pro.

[@Youtobedo]

Yeah 189 for pros at the moment but I would go with the 4s with anc soooo comfy

[@daledevernon56]

The deciding factor for a lot of people will be whether they have ear tips or not.

[@AppleInsider]

100%! There's a whole dedicated section in the video on that. Which one do you prefer?

[@TatersEatsCrayons]

For those who can’t decide, amazon currently has a deal on the airpods pro 2 for $190 (only $10 more than the airpods 4)

[@Stacyjl3]

The open design do not stay in my ear at all. They just slip out. Am I the only one with this issue?

[@victoriakorlewala]

Same with me, when I tried them on

[@Johnnyhaag79]

So.... which one sounds better ?

[@dustindauncey]

The Pro’s of course. It states this in the video too if you actually watch it.

[@AppleInsider]

Yup yup. Pros. But they always will with a sealed ear. But that isn't all that really matters.

[@kingreko1780]

The deal breaker for me is the 4’s have sound leakage. I don’t want everyone around to hear me jamming out at work
