Gadgets 360 With Technical Guruji: Are Apple AirPods 4 Worth the Upgrade?

Apple launched the fourth-generation AirPods last month, alongside the iPhone 16 series and the Apple Watch Series 10. The new Apple AirPods 4 may look similar to their predecessors, but they come with exciting upgrades. Available in two variants - standard for Rs. 12,900 and with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for Rs. 17,900 - they offer features like Conversation Awareness, Adaptive Audio, and Voice Isolation, all powered by the H2 chip. Despite retaining a similar design to the third generation, the buds and charging case are slightly smaller and lighter. ANC affects battery life, but overall listening experience has improved with better call and music quality, thanks to Bluetooth 5.3. The refined contour fits ears better, and a new vent system for pressure equalization, inspired by AirPods 2, enhances comfort.
