Apple AirPods 4 ワイヤレスイヤホン、Bluetooth5.3、パーソナライズされた空間オーディオ、耐汗耐水性能、USB-C 充電ケース、H2 チップ、最大 30 時間の バッテリー駆動時間、「探す」対応、iPhoneで簡単に設定

The AirPods 4 address a common pain point for audio users: the desire for noise reduction without the oppressive feeling of silicone ear tips. By combining an open-ear design with the powerful H2 chip, Apple has created a middle ground that offers 'breathable' audio with surprising noise cancellation capabilities. User feedback highlights that while it doesn't match the total isolation of the AirPods Pro 2, the ANC is remarkably effective for an open design, creating a sensation where ambient noise recedes once music starts. The redesigned silhouette is frequently praised for its lightweight feel, with some users noting they forget the device is even in their ears. Practical improvements include a more compact USB-C charging case and IP54 dust and water resistance, making it suitable for workouts and unpredictable weather. However, potential buyers should be aware that because it does not seal the ear canal, it cannot provide the absolute silence found in in-ear models, making it less ideal for extremely loud environments like airplane cabins.
