According to Apple, the two new AirPods 4 models offer significantly improved sound over the third generation. And they have new features, like the switch to USB-C. The ANC version also gets a speaker built into the smaller charging case to make Apple's Find My tracker more effective, and wireless charging that works with both Qi and Apple Watch chargers. The new AirPods Max, meanwhile, get some new colors and also switch to USB-C – and not much else.
