I did n’t spend too much time with the AirPods 4 , but I heed to the AirPods 4 ’s ANC . It drowned out the noise of the Steve Jobs Theater . There was a footling progeny deepen from ANC to Transparency Mode , which lets you tune up into the surroundings , and for a secondment , the two cod were out of sync . But I chalk it up to the busy room full of dueling connections . The genuine test is in how it works , as Apple showcased itself , while you ’re walking between a noisy construction site and a tube place .

I also tried wearing the new AirPods Max for a moment . They have USB - atomic number 6 now and amount in an regalia of raw colors , include blue , empurpled , midnight , starlight , and orangish . I did n’t realize how bass - forward the AirPods Max are , but I can see why they remain a democratic basic of the walled garden . However , it is dissatisfactory that we did n’t see any more upgrades get along to the Max ’s computer hardware , specially after this long of a wait between updates .
