What Sound Quality Can You Expect from AirPods 4?

Question

What is the sound quality like on the AirPods 4?

Answer 1

According to Apple’s adaptive EQ technology, the AirPods 4 produce a more or less neutral sound across the lows, mids and highs. However, as they have an open earbud design, deep sub-bass may be missing. Still, mids and highs are well detailed and clear. Sound quality assessment of sound was measured at a 3.6 out of 5 which is very common for this kind of earbuds.

Excellent review. I received my AP4 w/o ANC and I am very impressed with the fit and sound quality. I typically lean towards higher end earbuds but I like the sound the AP4 produce given that they are an open air design.

The fit for me is the most comfortable since the 1/2s, but the 3s still sound noticeably better than 4s

I was reading all over to see if I was crazy for not liking the 4’s sound, and the review on your guys’ site was what helped put a name to one of my issues, which was the overemphasis of sibilant sounds

For a 179$ paid these sound like 30$ earbud. I’m disappointed with the sound quality and microphone quality sucks
