AirPods 4 were released almost a year ago. With the AirPods Pro 3's possible launch just around the corner, I want to reflect on the company's entry-level option (although I'm talking about the ANC version, not the one that lacks other perks).Since Apple announced the first AirPods many years ago, I've loved their fast-pair capabilities, the nifty pause feature when I remove one earbud, and especially how light they feel. I've been lucky enough to have ears that work great with all models, from the first to the fourth generation, including AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. I've never experienced fatigue after wearing them for hours or had them fall out, which I know is a common issue for many.To me, AirPods 4 felt like a fresh take on Apple's popular earbuds, especially after one side of my AirPods 3 stopped working properly and I started mainly using the AirPods Pro 2 or Max. While it might sound confusing to be using so many AirPods at once, I swear it makes sense in my head.With AirPods 4, theyre so light that I almost forget Im wearing them. Its like the music just comes out of thin air. Thats especially helpful for longer phone calls, Zoom meetings, or when I want to stay aware of my surroundings.Image source: Christian de Looper for BGREven though AirPods Pro 2 have a great Ambient Mode, it's still not as good as earbuds without tips. If I need to focus a bit more, I can always turn ANC on, which actually works very well. My main issue with AirPods 4 might be that I love them too much, since they always feel like theyre running out of battery.With around 4-5 hours of listening time, depending on the volume and whether ANC is on, they never seem to last long enough for a train trip, a full work day, or when I forget to put them in the smart case.The smart case only holds about 20 hours of charge, which might sound decent. Still, Ive run out of battery so many times that I now charge the AirPods and the case every other day.While I can wear AirPods Max for an entire week without charging, I think Apple really needs to step it up with future models. With this generation, the company went for a slimmer design, but Id trade that for more battery life during errands.We should look at Beats as an example. Apple's subbrand always delivers more battery life with similar designs. Thats why I think everyone should get AirPods 4, but keep in mind they might need charging more often than expected.Don't Miss: AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation review: A great middle groundThe post AirPods 4 are nearly perfect, except for one frustrating flaw appeared first on BGR.Today's Top DealsTodays deals: $399 iPad mini 7th-Gen, $395 75-inch smart TV, $400 eufy Omni C20, Energizer batteries, moreTodays deals: $169 AirPods Pro 2, $150 Hoover carpet cleaner, 50% Off Roborock Qrevo Master, moreBest Fire TV Stick deals for May 2025Todays deals: $299 iPad 11, $497 LG 65-inch smart TV, $30 Philips Sonicare toothbrush, $499 Traeger grill, more
