A story about AirPods 4.

— A tool to shove music into your ears and get through the world a little better.

You know, there's this thing called AirPods 4.
They're white, smooth, and have a bit of a cheeky shape.
They look like those fancy puddings sold at late-night convenience stores.
But when you stick them in your ears, the colors of the world change in an incredible way.

After all, it'sActive Noise Cancellation.
The surrounding noise just fades away.
The 'ding-dong' of the train doors, the weird cough of the person next to you,
the 'welcome' greetings at the supermarket,
you can ask them all to kindly exit to somewhere far away.

You could call this an 'ear shelter'.

✳︎ Adaptive Audio? It seems such a marvel of civilization is working inside your ears.

What's amazing is that the AirPods 4 automatically read the environment
and adjust the sound for you.
That's what they call 'Adaptive Audio'.

For example, if it suddenly gets noisy outside,
the AirPods 4 will say, 'Alright, I'll turn up the volume for you,' or
'I've gone ahead and cut out that noise,'
doing thoughtful things like that.

What are you, a housekeeper?

✳︎ Transparency mode is like magic.

Even while listening to music,
the sounds from outside come in 'just right'.

For instance, while jogging.
It picks up the sound of cars so it's safe, but
you can still hear your favorite music mixed in with the wind.

This is optimization for a 'life while doing other things'.

✳︎ H2 chip. I don't really get it, but it seems powerful.

The chips Apple makes have a name every time, but
when it comes to this H2 chip, it sounds kind of tough.
A name like 'Hurricane Two that tears through the wind!'
In reality, the connection is fast, the sound processing is smart, and the latency is low.

For earphones,
I feel like the capabilities are a bit too high, but I have no complaints.

✳︎ It's USB-C. Finally, it's USB-C. Thank you, USB-C.

I could spend all night talking about the problem of mismatched ports for gadgets in the world,
but for now, the AirPods 4 have become a
USB-C charging case.

Just with this, I feel like the clutter on my desk
has decreased by about 40%.
(That's just a feeling. The number has no meaning.)

✳︎ Qi support, wireless charging, and it's fine for rainy days and sweaty workouts.

Since it supports wireless charging,
just set it down and it charges automatically.

Plus, dust, sweat, and water resistant.
In other words, even if you get caught in the rain,
or sweat buckets during a workout,
the AirPods 4 keep their cool as if to say, "It's nothing."

They're tough.
Even though they look like little puddings.

* The terrifying peace of mind that comes with "Find My" support.

When you lose your earbuds,
your AirPods show up on a map.

This is convenient, but
it's so convenient that it even makes you feel
philosophical about "what human freedom really is."

But it's reassuring.
Even if you forget where you put them, the AirPods 4 won't run away.
They won't let you down.
Good job.

* Conclusion: Civilization that goes in your ears is generally correct.

Once you start using AirPods 4,
the world becomes a little smoother.
It feels like your rough daily life
is being polished smooth.

That's not an exaggeration at all.
Changing just one pair of earbuds can change the flavor of your life.
