Have had the Airpods 4 for about a week, have used once or twice since then. Aside from the quality being much worse than any of the Pro models, I think that my Airpods and/or case are defective. They have not been able to charge (via USB-C) once since I've gotten them. They appear like they are charging (both the light indication and the lightning bolt symbol on my phone), but both the case and the pods remain at 1%. Will be attempting to return. Spend more money for the better product. This "budget friendly" item is not worth $50, let alone $170.

Sound quality and ease of setup are great. The issue, which is what made me get the higher priced Air Pods 3 pro, was that the fit was not secure. I walked with with and they do not stay secure in your ear very well at all. The Air Pod 3 Pro have a silicone ring in various sizzes that mke them fit much better and staty secure. They have many more features which explains the cost. I bought these, Air Pods 4, becuase they were half off on a Black Friday sale. If you only will use them around the house, say siting still, answering phone calls, listeninh to music, etc, they're suitable, but for any type of movement activity, they are not well suited at all. They do sound great.

I lived my old ones, but it had been five years and the right ear wasn’t working anymore. I expected these to be even better as the newest model, but I’m sadly disappointed. The new earbud is HUGE! My ears are tiny and it is so uncomfortable. They’re made for men in mind, not women, for sure! And the sound quality is not as good. Lastly, they’re so finicky, Everytime I adjust them it activates Siri or music, etc. So disappointed!

They’re really nice quality headphones for the price you get especially if you have an apple iPhone as it syncs seamlessly. However, the fit of the buds are strange. Definitely different to the first generations. The fit bothered me at first but after wearing I got used to it, now it only bothers after about an hour-2 hours use only in one ear and I’m sure that will go away with time. The controls are harder to get to skip music and pause than the first gens as well. You used to be able to just hit them and skip which was really nice for running but this one you have to grab and squeeze the R ear bud which is harder to do during runs.

Here’s a shorter version: Review: Apple AirPods 4 AirPods 4 sound great, pair instantly, and are very comfortable to wear. Battery life is solid, and call quality is clear. A nice upgrade with smoother performance and better noise reduction than previous versions.

Got the air pods for my wife’s stepdad, he didn’t need all the features of the more expensive ones. He was having a hard time hearing videos on his I pad, after I connected them he was amazed by the sound and volume, I don’t think he has had the out of his ears since I got them for him last week. You couldn’t beat the Black Friday sale.

Perfect upgrade from older AirPods. It retains the same functionality but adds better battery life, better sound quality, and hopefully a more ergonomic fit for your ears. The fit is subjective but I've had no issues. I mostly use it to listen to music or for work meetings. If you've got an iPhone or any other Apple products, it's worth investing in AirPods. They work very seamlessly. Pro tip: definitely add AppleCare on for $29 for 2 years. Trust me. I've accidentally washed my AirPods once and AppleCare would have covered that for a small deductible. Now I always get the extra coverage!

The product was as expected except for hooking them up to my granddaughter’s phone and having them come up named already as “dumb@$$’$ AirPods’”! What a ridiculous petty thing on Christmas to open a present and have to deal with that! Wonder if someone returned them or messed with them in the store!???

The built-in microphone makes it easy to talk hands free or while doing other task. The frequency range of me is pretty good I haven’t really seen how far I could actually go but I can go up stairs and all around my house without having my phone in my pocket. I love how easy it was to pair and connect to my iPhone. I love these. The only complaint I have is the buds fall out of my ears way too easily. For the price of these I don’t really feel like taking the risk in losing one of them.

The Apple AirPods 4 fit perfectly in the outer ear and feel secure and comfortable even with extended use. The sound quality is clear and balanced, making music and calls easy to decipher and clear. They hold a charge for days, which is incredibly convenient for everyday use with my son's videos and music. When they do need power, they charge quickly and are ready to go in no time. The overall build feels high quality and durable. My son is very happy with them and uses them daily. They’re a great combination of comfort, performance, and reliability.
