Technical Specifications

H2 Headphone Chip

AirPods 4 use Apple’s H2 headphone chip to manage audio processing, microphones, device interaction, and supported computational audio features. The chip works with the updated acoustic system and sensors built into the earbuds.

Features associated with the H2 platform on this model include Voice Isolation, Siri Interactions, Adaptive EQ, Personalized Spatial Audio, and improved call processing. Some functions depend on compatible Apple hardware, operating-system versions, and current AirPods firmware.

Audio System

The acoustic system combines a custom high-excursion Apple driver with a custom high dynamic range amplifier. Adaptive EQ uses an inward-facing microphone to adjust sound based on the audio reaching the ear.

AirPods 4 retain an open-fit design rather than sealing the ear canal with replaceable silicone ear tips. Their acoustic behavior and passive isolation therefore differ from AirPods Pro models.

Personalized Spatial Audio

AirPods 4 support Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking on compatible Apple devices. The system can create a more directional listening presentation for compatible music, movies, and other supported content.

A compatible iPhone with a TrueDepth camera is required to create a personalized Spatial Audio profile. Feature availability also depends on supported content and software.

Voice Isolation

Voice Isolation uses computational processing and the AirPods microphones to emphasize the user’s voice during compatible calls while reducing some surrounding environmental sound captured by the microphones.

Voice Isolation affects outgoing call audio rather than functioning as Active Noise Cancellation for the person wearing the earbuds.

Siri and Siri Interactions

AirPods 4 support Siri activation through compatible Apple devices. Users can press and hold the force sensor or use supported voice activation commands.

Siri Interactions can also recognize supported head gestures. A nod or gentle head shake can be used to respond to certain Siri prompts on compatible systems with appropriate software and firmware.

Physical Controls

A force sensor on each stem provides tactile controls without relying entirely on touch-sensitive surfaces.

• Press once to play or pause media.
• Press once to answer a call.
• Press once to mute or unmute in supported calls.
• Press twice to end a call.
• Press twice to skip forward.
• Press three times to skip backward.
• Press and hold to activate Siri.
• Use supported camera-remote controls with compatible devices and software.

Battery and Charging

Apple specifies up to five hours of listening time from AirPods 4 on one full charge under its standardized test conditions. Battery life varies with volume, settings, device configuration, environmental conditions, battery age, and feature use.

The USB-C Charging Case extends total listening time to as much as 30 hours. Placing depleted earbuds in the case for approximately five minutes can provide about one additional hour of listening.

• Earbuds recharge while stored in the case.
• The case charges through a USB-C connector.
• This standard AirPods 4 case does not support Qi or Apple Watch wireless charging.
• A USB-C charging cable is not included in the package.
• A power adapter is not included.

Charging Case

The standard AirPods 4 Charging Case is identified by hardware model A3058. It contains a USB-C port on the bottom and a status indicator on the front.

The A3058 case is designed for standard AirPods 4 earbuds. It is not interchangeable with the separate wireless charging case used by AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation.

Dust, Sweat, and Water Resistance

AirPods 4 and the USB-C Charging Case are rated IP54 under IEC 60529 testing. The rating addresses defined exposure to dust and splashing water under controlled conditions.

Resistance can decrease through ordinary wear and physical damage. The earbuds are designed for non-water sports and exercise rather than swimming, showering, or intentional submersion.

Connectivity

AirPods 4 use Bluetooth 5.3 wireless technology. They can operate as standard Bluetooth headphones with many non-Apple products, although Apple-specific features may be unavailable.

Within Apple’s ecosystem, pairing and account-based integration support features such as automatic device recognition, battery information, Siri, Find My functions, and switching behavior on compatible devices.

Accessibility

AirPods 4 support several accessibility functions when paired with compatible Apple devices and software.

• Live Listen audio.
• Headphone Levels.
• Headphone Accommodations.

This standard AirPods 4 model is not documented as providing the Hearing Test, Hearing Aid, or Hearing Protection features associated with supported AirPods Pro models.

Product History

Apple introduced the original AirPods in 2016 as completely wireless earbuds designed around close integration with iPhone and other Apple devices. AirPods 2 followed in 2019, and AirPods 3 introduced a shorter-stem design and Spatial Audio support in 2021.

AirPods 4 were introduced in September 2024. Apple released two fourth-generation configurations: the standard AirPods 4 and a separate AirPods 4 model with Active Noise Cancellation.

The standard MXP63LL/A version uses the H2 chip and a USB-C Charging Case but does not include Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio, Transparency mode, or wireless case charging. These distinctions help separate B0DGHMNQ5Z from the visually similar ANC configuration.

Customer Feedback Summary

This section summarizes recurring themes in publicly available owner feedback and independent evaluations of AirPods 4. These observations are subjective and are not verified product specifications.

Positive feedback commonly focuses on comfort and the revised open-fit shape. Users who prefer earbuds without silicone tips often describe AirPods 4 as easier to wear for extended periods than tightly sealing in-ear designs, although individual fit varies substantially.

Sound quality is another frequently praised area. Owners often describe clearer bass and improved overall balance compared with earlier standard AirPods generations. Personalized Spatial Audio and Adaptive EQ also receive favorable attention among users of compatible Apple devices.

Call quality is commonly viewed positively, particularly in situations where Voice Isolation can reduce competing background sound captured by the microphones. Integration with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch is another recurring strength for users already using multiple Apple devices.

Reported limitations frequently concern the open-fit design. Because the earbuds do not create a strong acoustic seal, outside noise remains more audible than with sealed earbuds. This standard configuration also lacks the Active Noise Cancellation available on the separate ANC model.

Another recurring limitation is the charging case. Users who rely on wireless charging may prefer the ANC configuration because the standard AirPods 4 case requires a USB-C cable. The absence of an included USB-C charging cable is also noted by some owners.

Fit remains subjective. Some users find the redesigned shape secure, while others report that open-fit earbuds can loosen during movement because there are no interchangeable ear tips to adjust the fit.
