Six axes, the same rule for every model. This is our judgment, not the manufacturer's.
| Battery life | Not published by the manufacturer | |
|---|---|---|
| Cancelling | 0/10 | |
| Sound | 7/10 | |
| Comfort | 7/10 | |
| Calls | 8/10 | |
| Value | 6/10 | |
The AirPods 4 outrank the Pro 3 on rating — 4.5 from 34,458 ratings against 4.4 from 14,871 — and cost half as much. They are also the version without active noise cancelling, which the listing does not exactly shout about: Amazon's «Noise Control» row says «Sound Isolation», and that is the shape of the earbud, not a circuit.
Nowhere on this listing does it say how many hours they last. Not in the bullets, not in the table. For a battery-powered product sold by the world's largest electronics company that is a remarkable omission, and it is why the autonomy row of our comparison is blank for this model. We could copy the figure from Apple's own website; we don't, because what we are comparing is what the buyer is shown before paying.
Anything marked «—» is a figure the manufacturer doesn't publish. We don't fill those in by eye.

| This is the version WITHOUT cancelling | Apple sells AirPods 4 in two versions and this listing is the one without active noise cancellation. Amazon's «Noise Control: Sound Isolation» means the seal of the tip, not electronics. |

A summary of the reviews published on Amazon.com as of 2026-09-08.
4.5 out of 5 from 34,458 ratings. Comfort is what buyers keep coming back to: people who could never wear the Pro comfortably can wear these all day. The recurring complaint is exactly the flip side — on public transport they isolate almost nothing, and several buyers say they discovered that only after ordering.

Amazon's #3 best-selling earbud is a $14.88 cable that will not fit a current iPhone.
