The AirPods 4’s finest function is how comfy they’re

In-ear wi-fi earbuds have by no means been my desire

Whereas I actually like Apple’s AirPods Pro 3rd generation, I’ve by no means been a giant fan of in-ear wi-fi earbuds. They’re simply not comfy to put on all day, even with the brand new safer foam suggestions. With the AirPods 4, that is not a problem. I can comfortably hold the wi-fi earbuds for hours at a time.

In case you plan to make use of the earbuds whereas exercising or transferring round rather a lot, it is probably you will discover the AirPods 4 will fall out of your ears steadily. They do not function an in-ear design and are extra comfy due to that, however that additionally means they do not sit as securely in your ears.
