AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are a strong lower cost option for Apple earbuds, especially if you want better fit and fuller bass than older AirPods models without silicone tips. The ANC is described as surprisingly effective for a non sealing design, handling buses, offices, grocery stores, and even some flights well, though it is not as strong as AirPods Pro and can feel less secure for workouts. The main tradeoff is fit and pressure, which can make them less ideal for gym use or long wear. A solid pick if you want Apple earbuds with ANC at a lower price.
people who want active noise cancellation for moderately noisy commutes (like a bus or noisy office phone calls) because the ANC cancels most noise surprisingly well even without a perfect seal.
frequent flyers who want ANC that's "good enough" for flights because one commenter says they've used this model on plenty of flights and the ANC works great for them.
office workers and shoppers who prefer a bass-rich sound and want ANC that performs well while walking around because commenters say it works well in the office and while walking outside (like grocery stores) and they like the more bass-rich sound versus their AirPods Pro models.
buyers who struggled with silicone tips on other earbuds and need a more comfortable fit because one commenter said silicone ear tips were never comfortable for them and these were a better option.
people who can't get a secure ear fit because at least one commenter couldn't get a secure fit (their ear canals weren't designed to hold them securely), and another said they don't form a seal in the ear.
gym-goers who need earbuds to stay put because commenters say they're not recommended for the gym since they fall out of ears pretty easily.
buyers who expect AirPods Pro-level noise cancellation because commenters note the ANC isn't as good as the Pros due to the lack of seal.
people sensitive to earbud pressure because one commenter said the earbuds put pressure on their head and they didn't like that.
