New Product Apple AirPods 4

The scoop

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade your earbuds, the new AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation just landed at Costco. These are Apple’s latest open-ear design that somehow manages to deliver noise cancellation without silicone tips.

The AirPods 4 represent a pretty significant leap forward from the standard AirPods. You’re getting active noise cancellation, transparency mode, and personalized spatial audio in a completely redesigned fit that’s more comfortable for longer wear sessions. The open-ear design means no pressure or that plugged-up feeling you get with in-ear tips.

Here’s the real talk: these aren’t going to seal out noise like the AirPods Pro with their silicone tips. But for folks who find in-ear tips uncomfortable or just prefer the open-ear feel, the noise cancellation here is surprisingly effective. You’ll notice a real difference on planes, during commutes, or in noisy offices.

Bottom Line: These are a solid choice if you want noise cancellation but can’t stand the feel of in-ear tips. The Costco member value here makes them easier to justify, especially considering these just released recently.
