Do AirPods 4 have noise cancellation?

The standard AirPods 4 do not. They are open-fit earbuds, so ambient sound comes in and audio leaks out. Apple sells a separate AirPods 4 model with active noise cancellation.

How do AirPods 4 differ from AirPods Pro?

AirPods Pro use silicone tips and add active noise cancellation and a sealed fit with stronger bass. AirPods 4 are open-fit, lighter in the ear, and lack noise cancellation on the standard model.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates up to 5 hours of listening per charge, with additional charges from the case. Talk time is shorter, and the case adds several full recharges.

Do they work with Android phones?

They pair over Bluetooth and play audio, but Spatial Audio, Siri Interactions, quick pairing and Find My are Apple-only features. Android users lose most of the smart functions.

The earbuds and a charging case. The standard model ships with a USB-C charging case; the noise-cancelling model adds a case with a speaker and wireless charging.

Will they stay in during workouts?

The open fit is stable for walking and light activity, but there is no seal, so they can loosen during running or heavy movement. Many owners switch to tipped earbuds for exercise.
