The truth is, as a technology company, little can stand up to Apple. Fortunately for many ecosystem users, the Californian company has a pristine image in the industry. And a big part of that is thanks to Tim Cook and his excellent work as CEO, and that’s been passed on to all of Apple’s employees.

Maybe, just maybe, the only thing we can blame Apple for is its prices. Especially in Spain and other regions where taxes exaggerate costs and anger consumers. But I always keep the same premise: an expensive product is a good product. Get this into your head. It is a product that will be enough for you, it is an economical investment, “expensive is cheap” or in the most classical words, cheap is expensive.

The market a wide variety of very cheap wireless headphones for the iPhone, but the quality is not the same as AirPods and, moreover, their integration into the software is not the same either. I have AirPods 4 and I am very happy with them. They are expensive, but for everything they offer they seem very, very cheap to me. At least for a product from a company with Apple’s prestige. Its price has also recently dropped on other platforms where the cheapest version is available, such as Amazon and Mediamarkt. 129 euros. The price of the most advanced version is 149 euros.

AirPods 4: my usage experience, is it worth it?

I have been using AirPods 4 for a month now and I can now confirm with complete freedom and certainty: These are the best wireless headphones I can buy for me and my iPhone. Although it is true that I also use them on other Apple devices such as Apple TV, MacBook Pro or iPad Pro. They work great, their sound quality is excellent and their batteries are acceptable.

With the release of AirPods 4, Apple has significantly reduced the size of the charging case This makes carrying the headphones from one place to another much more comfortable. Now, sometimes it’s a little hard for me to get them out of the box, maybe it’s because my hands are a little sweaty, or my fingers are a little fat, maybe it’s because my hands are a little small for these tasks, I don’t know, you never know. In any case, they have a magnetic system that makes it easier to leave them in place than to remove them.

When it comes to spatial audio, it really shows. AND bass is extremely strong for such a product. Although if you’re a fan of noise cancellation (I’m not) I’d recommend spending a little more money on the more advanced version. It also has an ambient sound mode and adaptive sound.

The other option in the Californian company’s catalog is the AirPods Pro 2, which has recently reduced its price after the release of the third generation. However, for me these are much better because they are cheaper and I don’t need more. Stain.

One of the things I love most about the AirPods 4 is once you put them on, that’s it. You don’t need to configure anything, you don’t need to pair anything, you just plug them in and they work. Although I admit that I had an issue with Apple TV automatically recognizing it and had to go into settings to manually connect them. This could be because the Apple TV is already very old and outdated, or it could be because I have a room full of Apple devices that connect primarily.
