I haven’t had AirPods since the 1st gen. I been using the AirPods Max for the last 3 years. I just pre ordered the AirPods 4 with ANC for more casual use. I hate silicon tips, but wanted ANC. So I’m satisfied with this upgrade, also the capability to use my Apple Watch puck to charge the case is also a plus.
I'm upgrading from the OG AirPods to the 4s. Never been a fan of total noise cancellation just because I hate the feel of the silicon in my ear, so the openness of the non-pros with slight noise cancellation is totally fine with me. I'm VERY excited for this upgrade!
Same. I still use my first ogs every now and then and base 2nd gens every day only because I’m not gonna buy them with silicone tips. Very excited for these to be delivered. Hope they last as long as my 1st gens have
That’s amazing that the regular airpods have been really solid for you. I had the 1st and 2nd gen of standard Airpods before switching to the Pros and haven’t looked back. The regular Airpods never gave me trouble by any means, but that snug fit and ANC was too good to beat. Very interested to see how the AirPod 4’s fare in day to day usage.
@@vietnguyen2293yeah i just bout a new pair of pros yesterday. I had lost my other pair and been using my old air pod gen 2s since which have such poor volume and they just dont sound as good
Having a tip in my ear canal is painful. I currently have the 3 AirPods which actually are pretty good for music in a quiet environment and were much better than the AirPod 2 which were too tinny to enjoy music. I might get the AirPods 4.
@@EbrahimRamzat the “walled garden” is the ecosystem Apple has created that is exceptionally had to ‘get out of’ when you own multiple Apple products. If you own an iPhone and an Apple Watch, it’s very difficult to justify getting any other computer than a MacBook, as your Windows computer just won’t have the same functionality with your devices. Great if you have all of their products, terrible if you ever want to change.
I personally love the seal I get from the AirPods Pro 2nd gen. The only problem is I like using them for running or the gym, but as soon as I start sweating they slowly start to ease out. I never had that problem with the AirPods 3. HOWEVER, I’m also not willing to sacrifice the noise cancellation. I’m hoping these AirPods 4 are the perfect mix of both 🙏🏽🙏🏽.
Same issue here. Got beats fit pro for a half marathon. They did not budge and they have very similar noise cancelling performance alongside a Apple H1 chip. I use the beats exclusively for working out now. No more adjusting headphones or losing that perfect seal. Can get the beats for $159 or less when on sale.
to anyone that hates silicon tip earbuds: try different tip sizes. i hated them for years until i got a decent pair of IEMs and actually tried the different sizes of tips for an extended period of time. it may also be worth trying out foam eartips, i myself hate them but a lot of people love them. at the end of the day, all ears are different. what works for someone else will not necessarily work for you. also when i say try different tip sizes, i mean try ALL of them. for years i never bothered trying small ear tips because i just assumed they would fall out, but when i actually tried them i found that they are 100% the best for me.
Honestly the issue I find isn’t the size on the silicone tips. It’s the shape of the rest of the AirPod. Anytime I try the ear tip fit test on the iPhone it never gets a complete seal. If your auricle doesn’t fully cover the two sensors on the outside of the AirPod, then it won’t detect a proper fit. Changing the silicone tip sizes doesn’t affect the seal on the outside, it just helps prevent the AirPod from falling out. I’ve yet to try the foam tips though.
@@brian_mccomedy foam tips may help if you can tolerate them. for me they provide a great seal but I don't like the feeling of the material in my ear. they actually provide the best seal you can get because the foam expands in your ear leaving no gaps
I've tried foam tips, rubber tips, hook tips, small, medium, large tips. None of them are good, they're all uncomfortable after 5 minutes. Only the og airpods fit my ear well. The airpod 3 do not fit my ear well. I wonder how these 4s will feel.
nah ive had ear buds that came with 3 sizes of tips and all of them hurt my ears after an hour or so of using and ALL of them slide out of my ears. And they were jaybirds which are far from cheap. The apple ones without silicon tips have always been the most comfortable and hold in my ears better than any other ear buds ive ever used. All ears are different

the worse anc than airpods pro and the bad fit are more than enough to steer me away lol, but at face value if you ignore every single number, apple still almost sold me during the event
The one positive thing i can say for this earbuds is that it's gonna be a good earphones for casual joggers. The ANC being a 4/10 is good for awareness during a run. Yes there's transparency mode but that inadequate ANC is for those times you forgot to switch modes lol (PSA: please don't run/jog with ANC on, it's not safe).
@@hannes6114these aren’t IEM. The earbuds have to produce more volume because they’re competing with background noise. AirPods are the best sounding normal wireless earbuds available. Now why would you go with a normal bud? Because it’s inbetween a headphone and an IEM. The sound is bigger (wider soundstage) and it allows you to still stay in the real world passively which many of us prefer. I have thousands of dollars in wired buds for this reason.
@@robertmusil1107 used the silicone ones quite a bit when i was working construction and wanted to have ear protection while being able to listen to podcasts
As someone who works in retail, it is 95% hate the tips and 5% don't care about ANC. Also I'm going to hate this holiday season when people ask about them.
I prefer the no tips, since I also prefer over the ear headphones. However, I have gotten used to the tips again from the pros and the pressure feel of noise cancellation. It took some adjustment but it’s so worth it
My ears are literally incompatible with gel tips. No matter what size I use, I have the same problem Marques has with regular AirPods. I’ve always been bummed I can’t have ANC because of it so this is awesome for me.
I hate rubber tips. They make my ears sweat and make me feel claustrophobic almost. I don't want to feel completely disconnected from the outside world with a solid seal. I'm on Android but I bought Apple 's wired headphones just because they are the perfect hard tip. I use them on my laptop and when my earbuds aren't charged.
A lot of people who buy earbuds with tips are doing so online & tend to be less impulsive consumers (ones who know what they're looking for) whereas the normies who go in store are used to the Airpods and are looking for the cheaper models.
@@MiniWeskr oh no I get that and I'm sure the ones that say they hate those tips are like you but that's the reason they give me and don't go no further than that when I run them through the features

Don’t get your hopes up. Pro series and regular airpods 3 don’t fit my ears and it will probably be the same with 4’s as well. Series 1 and 2 are the only one that fit.
@@Charlie-h7iSame for me. Series 1 and 2 are the only airpods in the world that literally fit my ears. Hoping that more people like me who can only exclusively use these type of earpods, try out the 4 and give their thoughts on whether it fits, because man, the Airpods 3 was so disappointing.

7:01 that’s the 16 Pro. You can slow down the video before he tosses the phone on the couch and you’ll see the added button on the side.. also the bezels give it away lol
Love that Apple keeps giving love to the customers that don't like silicon tips. Literally bought AirPods just because they were the only true wireless earbuds I could find at the time, and I've not looked back!
nothing new with the pros? the pros are literally better than the 4s, wdym? there is no need for improvement lol. they got a lot of software updates. tho
@@MichePiece wdym there is no room for improvement lmao, I have the pros 2 and it needs much improved sound quality or at least an actual EQ, and a much improved battery life. it’s lacking in both regards.
I think that was on purpose by Apple, they clearly could have. I guess the idea was not to disappoint the people who have recently bought the AirPods Max worth 549$. Possibly a significant number of people may have bought Max in the last 2 years. Airpods Max popularity was underrated and gradual, and people only started to buy more of it much later than its release. It’s there business tactic clearly.
@rahrulz that literally makes zero sense. The Airpod Max has been out for 4 years now. Your point would hold weight if they'd been released last year, but no, they've been out, and if you're still paying full price for these headphones, that's on you. They go on sale all the time. There's no excuse for Apple not to update the Airpod Max.
@@rahrulz Doesn't make much sense to be honest. You are still pissing off everyone who jumped onto the AirPods Max the first 6-months as all our AirPods Max are starting to show terrible battery life if you got them the first year. I've been painfully holding out for AirPods Max. But this release was such a low blow that I simply refuse to get new ones now, even though my battery life is terrible. I do prefer the AirPods Max for several reasons. But this price tag becomes a problem when Apple refuses to do anything more with the product for this long. Tossing out new ones with USB-C being the only difference, while keeping the same high price comes off as extremely arrogant. Not bringing the H2-chip, which has been available for so long now, to make it have feature parity with AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 was the bare minimum one would expect.
During Jobs time, tech was mostly in its infancy.. now it's much mature and less and less things to improve.. I'm not a fan of apple by any stret, h but it is what it is
Yup. These are just more wireless landfill nuggets. Can have all the features under the sun but in a couple of years they either won't charge, won't pair or folks are likely to have lost them anyway.
I like wired buds. I have the temperament X6. They sound great. But having wires dangling in front of you and no where to put your phone without the cable kind of getting in the way can be… temperamental…
I'm the exact same way but with the airpod pros the silicone ear tips always forced their way out of my ears and the hard plastic was super snug so I'm really excited to have ones with noise canceling, I think there's an abundance of silicone ear buds and I'm glad they're finally giving people who they don't fit a better choice
Really nice to see the non-Pro AirPods get a smaller case (not as nice as the original, but close) and pick up some of the higher-end features. They finally feel like a first-class citizen again.
AirPods 4 with the noise cancelling is the product that I have been waiting for years this is going to be my absolute favourite AirPods ever never liked the pro with the ear tips!!!!!!😂😂😂
I need the hard tipped earbud shape. I have a very small ear canals and cannot wear earbuds that try to go inside of the canal (I even have to get extra soft/small foam earplugs). I just put a silicone sleeve over the hard tipped ones and they stay in comfortably. I hope Apple keeps this shape forever.
It’s always a hard choice between AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with MKBHD written on the case.
Yep

7:01 that’s the 16 Pro. You can slow down the video before he tosses the phone on the couch and you’ll see the added button on the side.. also the bezels give it away lol
I mean, you can see the extra camera lens. The 16/pro dont have any button differences they all have the camera button
And the new watch lol
fr, just upload the video already
@@bojackplays8196embargo rules man
And the watch 10 as well. 😅
2:23 thank god? Thank EU! 😄
08:11 to answer silly questions
siri
Lol
Did the microphone quality improve?
Do they still sound like 2006 RUclips audio quality to people on the other end?
It’s bluetooth microphone, you cannot expect much
Love the Wollongong jersey!
Galaxy buds 3 pro better than these?
Love that Apple keeps giving love to the customers that don't like silicon tips. Literally bought AirPods just because they were the only true wireless earbuds I could find at the time, and I've not looked back!
🤡
so disappointed we didnt get anything new with the pros and max
nothing new with the pros? the pros are literally better than the 4s, wdym? there is no need for improvement lol. they got a lot of software updates. tho
@@MichePiece i already have the pros2. Wdym? Why would i compare it with the 4s lmao. And my point stands- nothing new
@@MichePiece wdym there is no room for improvement lmao, I have the pros 2 and it needs much improved sound quality or at least an actual EQ, and a much improved battery life. it’s lacking in both regards.
@@MichePieceyou can always improve. Besides, we’re talking about the pros. No need to compare to the base models.
@@mencibencisound quality is never going to be that great, they’re apple anc earbuds, not open back sennheisers.
The nice thing about Marques Brownlee is that a 10 minute video doesn't feel like 10 minutes. Good video.
Apple really just threw a USB-C on the AirPods Max and called it a day-classic! We need Steve Jobs back😭.
I think that was on purpose by Apple, they clearly could have. I guess the idea was not to disappoint the people who have recently bought the AirPods Max worth 549$. Possibly a significant number of people may have bought Max in the last 2 years. Airpods Max popularity was underrated and gradual, and people only started to buy more of it much later than its release. It’s there business tactic clearly.
@rahrulz that literally makes zero sense. The Airpod Max has been out for 4 years now. Your point would hold weight if they'd been released last year, but no, they've been out, and if you're still paying full price for these headphones, that's on you. They go on sale all the time. There's no excuse for Apple not to update the Airpod Max.
@@rahrulz Doesn't make much sense to be honest. You are still pissing off everyone who jumped onto the AirPods Max the first 6-months as all our AirPods Max are starting to show terrible battery life if you got them the first year. I've been painfully holding out for AirPods Max. But this release was such a low blow that I simply refuse to get new ones now, even though my battery life is terrible.
I do prefer the AirPods Max for several reasons. But this price tag becomes a problem when Apple refuses to do anything more with the product for this long. Tossing out new ones with USB-C being the only difference, while keeping the same high price comes off as extremely arrogant. Not bringing the H2-chip, which has been available for so long now, to make it have feature parity with AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2 was the bare minimum one would expect.
@kryptx1339 Good luck bringing Steve Jobs Back mate
During Jobs time, tech was mostly in its infancy.. now it's much mature and less and less things to improve.. I'm not a fan of apple by any stret, h but it is what it is
Tbh nevery really expected airpods 4 without the tips would have good noise cancellation
4:34 is that the new Apple Watch Series 10?
looks like it, could be a previous gen in black though
00:44 Apples to Apples wise
There are 2 kinds of people in this world: wired and wireless people
Yup. These are just more wireless landfill nuggets. Can have all the features under the sun but in a couple of years they either won't charge, won't pair or folks are likely to have lost them anyway.
I was die hard wired earbuds until I tried out a set of wireless buds...
@@MeatNinja that was your character development moment right there..
I like wired buds. I have the temperament X6. They sound great. But having wires dangling in front of you and no where to put your phone without the cable kind of getting in the way can be… temperamental…
I wish you would do a video on the Samsung buds pro as well and compare them to these
The Wollongong tee?? Australia?
It's a Wollongong Ultimate Frisbee Jersey 🩸
Amazing to see , aussie merch on your videos!
I'm the exact same way but with the airpod pros the silicone ear tips always forced their way out of my ears and the hard plastic was super snug so I'm really excited to have ones with noise canceling, I think there's an abundance of silicone ear buds and I'm glad they're finally giving people who they don't fit a better choice
* Apple should’ve really added a Lanyard loop, MagSafe & Apple Watch charger compatibility like the Pro 2s.*
Thanks!
You paid $2 to say thank you, and he didn’t even acknowledge you.
04:58 bro didnt even bother to clean the wax out 💀💀💀
1:55 not for very long?, that wasnt even 3 seconds
Normally you don't shake your head every 3 seconds
6:59 is that the iphone 16 pro or 15 pro
16.
Yeah definitely the 16 pro lmao
Its on for too less but im guessing its the 15 pro since there is no capture button when he throws it away
The capture button is visible, can see it in slow mo 😋
Really nice to see the non-Pro AirPods get a smaller case (not as nice as the original, but close) and pick up some of the higher-end features. They finally feel like a first-class citizen again.
Dude is that a Wollongong shirt? Hell yeah man that's where I hail from.
You from Wollongong in Australia
Same! Can't believe he's putting our little city on the map!
i'm quickly learning a lot of people from wollongong watch his channel haha
@@benjamingygi3327 yes mate
Same dude, it's wild
They should add silicone wingtips. Earbuds with wingtips are the only ones that stay in my ear.
Same. And like Marques mine never fit in my right ear. EarPods, Liberty 4s etc. Gotta wear a headband to keep em in.
Great vid as always. Love the shirt. Wollongong Sydney Australia? Not too far from me
Most likely got it from a shirt swap at the tournament he was in a few weeks ago, pretty common thing with frisbee players
Early on MKBHD is wild
real
A European friendly release time 😊
@@TechOverwrite I didn't even think of that. 👍
AirPods 4 with the noise cancelling is the product that I have been waiting for years this is going to be my absolute favourite AirPods ever never liked the pro with the ear tips!!!!!!😂😂😂
The Wollongong ultimate jersey! Represent!!
The fact that only the earpod in your right ear is falling off could mean that the shape of your ears are not identical.
That is why silicone tips are so good you can choose different sizes and the fit is more forgiven
It's true my right ear is smaller than the left when I use earplugs for the motorbike
Yep, I have literally the same problem as Marques but with my left ear (with airpods 3)
4:55 nice earwax
I need the hard tipped earbud shape. I have a very small ear canals and cannot wear earbuds that try to go inside of the canal (I even have to get extra soft/small foam earplugs). I just put a silicone sleeve over the hard tipped ones and they stay in comfortably. I hope Apple keeps this shape forever.
MKBHD Squad 🔥
4:55 bro clean you earbuds first
nasty
I fall in the third category, I am using silicon tip ones for music and simple ones for listening to podcasts and watching MKBHD videos.
i ordered mine. can’t wait
The next iPhone 16 video should not be more than 2 minutes
Since there's nothing new to review
That’s not the mkbhd way
I used to love the basic hard tipped airpods but air pod pros are just next level. I can't imagine going back
Sick jersey! Where did you get it from??
4:11 what if i do it accidentally
Don’t do it accidentally
@@pranavp6139 thanks
I'm surprised they don't have some proprietary sounding name for their ANC like Sound Cancel or something like that
leave it to mkbhd to completely forget to review transparency mode
Nice work as always
You didn’t even watch the video
@@smatjoy4202 I watched the whole video I made the comment why I was watching it
