All-new AirPods

Apple has overhauled the AirPods range with updates across the board. In doing so, it launched the AirPods 4 in two variations and brought updates to the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods Max over-ear headphones.

Starting with AirPods 4, there’s now an entry-level option and a higher-end model. The former has a new ear tip design to improve fit and compatibility, alongside a new acoustic architecture with richer bass and clearer highs. You get Personalised Spatial Audio, a USB-C charging case and 30 hours of battery life, all for £129. Stepping up to the other AirPods 4 model, this includes everything in the base model, plus active noise cancellation, a wireless charging case, and a speaker for Find My sounds. It costs £179.
