The new AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are honestly the best earbuds I’ve owned. The ANC is shockingly good for the size — it cuts out background noise so well that even busy environments feel calm. The sound quality is crisp, balanced, and noticeably improved over previous generations. They connect instantly, stay connected, and feel comfortable enough to wear for long stretches without any ear fatigue. Battery life has been solid, and the case charges fast enough that I never feel stuck waiting. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. These things are amazing, and Walmart delivered them quickly and in perfect condition. Exactly what I wanted.

I was wondering if they really can reduce the noise since they are semi-open earbuds, but after I got them and tried, they do reduce the environmental noise quite a bit. Not as much as the Airpods pro, but much better than without the ANC. They are more comfortable to wear than the pro, and no humming sound when running. The bass is too much for me though, maybe a good thing for others.

I like the noise canceling feature. It works well for not only listening, it also apparently mutes background noise to the person your speaking to.. That's a big improvement over the earlier AirPods. The downsides: 1) They are difficult to remove from the case without slipping through your fingers. I usually end up shooting them across the floor. 2) This is a big one, Way more often than not, just putting them in my ears turns on the mute feature. Unmuting them is hit and miss which leaves me reaching for my phone, opening the control panel and turning the mute off. If I have to adjust them at all, bang...I'm on mute again. 3) Squeezing the stem also controls the 3 different levels from noise canceling through to regular listening mode, causing further aggravation. Apples attempt to make it convenient has instead created a mess with trying to pack too many features into a pair of tiny stems. I would much rather adjust those features from my phone, where I could set it, then forget it. Instead, I have to listen to - Hello...hello..are you there?... multiple times in a single conversation. In short, I would not buy them again.

I’ve had an iPhone for 10 plus years and have always had I pods. Something has changed with these iPods. They do not stay charged long at all like the previous ones I’ve purchase. For 160.00 they could at least give you a charger for them. This will definitely be the last pair I buy. Seems like I have to charge them every 29 mins. My previous one charge lasted for hours.

We’ve had three different models of AirPods, and I would say these are the best so far if you haven’t tried the 2nd gen Pros. They would easily be grand champion in the lineup if it weren’t for the fact that they don’t have the “amplication” option and they have one hour less of usable running time. Otherwise, if those two details aren’t deal breakers then these are definitely great quality vs. value and would absolutely recommend. Additional note: while I don’t have much of an issue because of my thumbnails and slender hands—my husband has large fingers and says they can be a bit difficult to pull out due to their magnetism being significantly upgraded from older models. They also sit lower in their molded position in the case and very close together compared to the rest.

They are sooo nice! I decided to noise cancelling and sometimes it is a little scary cause you really cannot hear anything but what’s playing! However, it’s super nice to know I can be in a room full of people but still hear what I need to! The extra features are definitely worth it!

I recommend it hesitantly. Item works fine. The audio settings available are useful when traveling in a loud space. Think of train and bus. I like that it doesn't have the rubber silicone inserts for the ear. I do enjoy the wired headsets a lot more than the wireless but the wireless does serve a purpose.

First time buyer, first time user, these AirPod 4s are great. It took a little time to get it configured and set up (I’m an old geezer) but once I did, they're fantastic. I bought them primarily hoping to have my tinnitus fix somewhat. They do not help with that but the noise cancellation works really good with any background noise. Yes, I would recommend and yes, I would buy again.

Bought these on Black Friday for a Xmas present. And they definitely live up to their hype. Walmart definitely had the best prices out doing Amazon by $30. My wife seems to love these. I haven’t seen her walking around the house since Christmas without them. Awesome Xmas gift. Thank you Walmart. The only negative I would give is that Apple is trying to increase profits by not including a charging cable. It’s not enough to take away a Star, but makes me feel different about Apple.

I didn’t know I was getting the ANC version, in fact I didn’t think that was offered on the non-pro version. They fit great and tha ANC is amazing. I have the pro version with lightning connection and the battery wasn’t getting me very far these days but these have excellent battery life.
