I just bought airpods 4 and i loooove them. They are supposed to sit lightly in your ears so you barely feel them they are not supposed to be pushed inside your ears. And it’s so refreshing not feeling clogged with those silicones. They are amazing for what they are supposed to be.

[@jianjian1791]

The microphone on the AirPods 4 sounds more natural and less processed.

[@Trashinated]

I upgraded from AirPods 2 to AirPods 4 without ANC, and the difference is amazing! I tried Spatialized Stereo, but it isn’t that great. But all I care about is comfort and sound quality, and it definitely is comfortable for me.

Had to return my airpods pro 2, are the airpods 4 comparable to airpods 1/2 regarding comfort?

@@fonsie3029 Somewhat. AirPods 2 felt comfortable, but AirPods 4 fit better if you’re not shoving it in your ear.

What differences do you notice between the 2 and 4? I was planning to buy the 2 but now I am doubting to just go with 4 without ANC since the price difference is not that much

Is it comfortable and fit for your ears

[@amyisaacs3740]

I am so glad you mentioned the sound leakage. I have not seen that mentioned in other videos. This actually tipped that scale for me to go Pro 2. Thanks for comparing!

[@DigiDriftZone]

I have both and use them in different situations. The Pro2 are not good for jogging as they come out when you start to sweat, they are also not very comfortable for long calls or listening sessions, but the pro2 are indispensable on a loud train or bus, so get both :) - the 4 ANC are so magical though not needing to shove silicone tips down your ears. Also personally I found transparency mode very artificial on the Pro2 and speaking with silicone in your ears is uncomfortable, the 4s are night and day.

I have Airpods pro 2, Sony XM4, Airpods 4 ANC The AP4 can filter out background noise like Aircon, but not human speech or anything loud. It's really weak comparing to others. Airpods Pro 2 and Sony XM4 can both filter out very very well, and the XM4 is still better than Pro 2 today. However for microphone comparison, the AP4 wins way over the Pro 2 a lot and is actually very good, while the XM4 microphone is pathetic.

You put the 4 in so effortlessly, I always struggle getting it just right

[@kylecrow1505]

I bought the AirPods 4 ANC. They are comfortable and work great. Sound with music, video, and podcasts are what you would expect from AirPods. ANC in quiet environments works really well. In louder environments, it works to reduce the loud noises to a more comfortable volume that does not drown out the sound of any media you are listening to. Overall, they are great buy if you don’t like the silicone tips on the APP2

[@CosmicCatA350]

[@alexc8236]

Which AirPods would you recommend the AirPods 4 ANC or AirPods Pro 1

[@JimKanaris]

Airpods Pro 2 stay in my ear. If Airpods 4 are anything like prior generations, they are not made for ears like mine; they easily fall out. This aspect alone is enough for me to stay clear of the non-pro buds. Quality- and functionality-wise, I believe the Pro package to be superior--their price being a painful realization of that.

[@mikekelley6885]

My only complaint with the new 4s so far is because the case is so much smaller, there isn't enough space between the 2 earbuds to easily remove them from the case like the gen 3s. I find it a pain to remove them each time. I really like having the speaker in the case, though.

[@leishdawg]

How do you remove your airpods? Do you grab it by the tip of the bud and pick it up? If so, try putting your finger in the concave part of the top of case and then use a "sweep" gesture to get them out. Works perfectly with my pros

[@Shadman1603]

To make sure they stay in the ear, is it best to go with the Pro? cheers.

[@TheLegendxComet]

Lets be honest, the AirPods Pro 2 are the best QUALITY-PRICE !!!

[@Mmacrossfirekenai]

The AirPods 4 seem to be a good alternative for those who can't use the AirPods Pro 2. I will stick with the Pros 2 USB-C

[@RyanZirnheld11]

So basically if you tolerate silicone tips well, the Pros 2 are the no brainer choice for only $10 extra. If you don’t tolerate silicone tips well, then get the regular AirPods with anc

[@iXeo81]

Go to Store (appointment) and try them out. I started years ago with the AirPods First gen. They were great. Then later I went to the AirPods Pro (First gen) with ANC and this was a game changer. No need to make them very loud in the underground train or so. Now I updated 4 years later to the Pro 2. Great product. I use L size for the silicone tips as in the past. For me it always felt comfortable. But test it out yourself. I think you can also order them try them and send one back if you don't have a store in your neighbor.

[@anglebars6084]

I just went to my local Apple Store and they have try on models, you just have to book a slot or something I think

[@cjsum9289]

That was my concern the pros fit amazing with the tip but I lost one 😩 hubby bought me the 4s I want to make sure they fit before I open them tho

[@JacksonWalter735]

I ended up going with the AirPod Pros 2 for my first AirPods ever. I was waiting for the Airpod Pros 3 but that wasn’t announced this year. The Pro 2s are only $10 more than the AirPods 4 ANC and I thought that was a better deal. I was going to cheap out and get the cheapest AirPods 4, but many people told me how ANC was a game changer, how it doesn’t have the precise tracking in the find my app (with sound if I can’t find my case), wireless charging, and my first USB-C charging cable that I can probably find a use for when I upgrade from my iPhone 14 eventually. The silicone tips also stick in my ears much better when I’m lying down. I don’t know if the newer design AirPods 4 would have stuck in my ear when I lie down (especially when I’m bench pressing) when the AirPods 3 didn’t. It’s been a week with my AirPod Pros 2 and I love it. It doesn’t sound as great as my huge over the head wired Sennheisers with a dongle, but it is so much more convenient. Wished I switched over to AirPods years ago

[@yildiz.dogukan]

Normally, I like silicone-tipped earphones, but AirPods Pro kept falling out of my ears and caused extreme discomfort after 10 minutes, so I sold them. I didn’t buy regular AirPods because they let in too much outside noise. Now that ANC has arrived, I’m wondering? 1. Would I be satisfied if I bought AirPods 4 with ANC? 2. If you’ve tried silicone cases for AirPods 4, how effective are they in improving isolation? 3. Does the non-ANC version of AirPods Pro offer a similar experience to the ANC version of AirPods 4? Thanks for your effort.

[@Patrick76399]

I am confused. I did some research and apparently there was an upgraded AirPods Pro 2 released in 2023 so why is the new one called AirPods Pro 2 as well? Is it because it uses the H2 chip again which means there won’t be an AirPods 3 until the H3 chip is included?
