During Monday's It's Glowtime iPhone 16 launch event, Apple announced a just one new generation of personal audio: The AirPods 4. We didn't get a new generation of AirPods Pro — last year's update is the most current edition — but the high-end buds are getting a ton of new hearing features as a software update this fall. The AirPods Max only got a minor update, with a USB-C connector and new colors.
Engadget's own Billy Steele was on the ground in Cupertino and had a chance to briefly try the new buds and praised its most notable addition: Active noise cancellation. Unfortunately, that feature is only available with a more expensive model of the AirPods 4 and adds $50 to the base price. Both models are available for preorder now and will land in stores on September 20. Here's how to get yours.
