All use the H2 chip, support 3D audio, and work seamlessly within the Apple ecosystem. The differences lie in design, noise cancellation, health features, and price. This buying guide shows which model is right for whom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods lineup for 2025\/2026 is broader than ever before. With four models ranging from \u20ac149 to \u20ac579, Apple covers everything from basic everyday headphones to premium over-ear models. Particularly exciting: The AirPods 4 are available for the first time in two versions \u2013 with and without active noise cancellation. The AirPods Pro 3 set new standards in the health sector with integrated heart rate monitoring and hearing aid functionality. And the AirPods Max 2 finally bring over-ear headphones up to date with the latest technology. Knowing the differences will save you money or help you get exactly the features that matter most in everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">All current AirPods models use the <strong>Apple H2 chip<\/strong> and are equipped with USB-C. They support personalized 3D audio with dynamic head tracking, voice isolation during calls, &quot;Hey Siri,&quot; and Siri interactions. Live translation is available on AirPods 4 with ANC, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods Max 2 when paired with an iPhone running Apple Intelligence and iOS 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices in the Apple Store Germany:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>AirPods 4:<\/strong> 149 Euro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation:<\/strong> 199 euros<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>AirPods Pro 3:<\/strong> 249 Euro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>AirPods Max 2:<\/strong> 579 Euro<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bauform-und-design\">Construction form and Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airpods-4\">AirPods 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods 4 are open-back, in-ear headphones without silicone ear tips. They sit loosely in the ear and allow ambient noise to pass through naturally. Apple has optimized the fit based on extensive ear data analysis \u2013 the result, according to Apple, is the most comfortable AirPods yet. There are no replaceable ear tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charging case is compact and 10 percent smaller than its predecessor. Both versions charge via USB-C. Only the model with ANC additionally supports wireless charging via an Apple Watch charger or a Qi-certified charger and has an integrated speaker for the &quot;Find My&quot; function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protection class: IP54 (dust and splash water protection) for headphones and charging case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airpods-pro-3\">AirPods Pro 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Pro 3 are closed, in-ear headphones with silicone ear tips. They come in five sizes, including a new XXS option. The tips have a layer of foam-reinforced microspheres for improved noise cancellation and a more secure fit. The ear tips are turned inwards, which improves stability during movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MagSafe charging case features a carrying strap, a speaker for &quot;Find My&quot; functionality, and next-generation Ultra Wideband technology with 1.5 times the range for precise location tracking. It charges via USB-C, Apple Watch charger, or Qi-certified charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protection class: IP57 (dustproof and protected against temporary immersion) \u2013 the most robust AirPods to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airpods-max-2\">AirPods Max 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Max 2 are over-ear headphones with memory foam ear cushions and a stainless steel mesh headband. They offer the widest soundstage of any AirPods and are designed for extended, comfortable wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Max 2 charge via USB-C and come with a Smart Case that extends battery life through extremely low power consumption. They are available in five colors: Purple, Midnight, Starlight, Blue, and Orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Design Summary:<\/strong> The AirPods 4 are ideal for those who dislike silicone ear tips and prefer a loose, comfortable fit. The Pro 3 offer the best fit and seal for sports and noisy environments. The Max 2 are the only over-ear option for maximum comfort during long sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aktive-gerauschunterdruckung\">Active noise cancellation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Model<\/th><th>ANC<\/th><th>Transparency Mode<\/th><th>Adaptive Audio<\/th><th>Conversation Awareness<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>AirPods 4<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPods 4 with ANC<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPods Pro 3<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (up to 2x better than Pro 2)<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPods Max 2<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes (1.5x better than Max 1)<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods 4 without ANC offer no noise cancellation whatsoever \u2013 ambient noise is always audible. This may be desirable, for example when jogging on busy streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods 4 with ANC offer active noise cancellation for the first time in an open-back, in-ear design. The effect is noticeable, but due to the design, it doesn&#039;t reach the level of the Pro 3, as the open design provides less of a seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Apple, the AirPods Pro 3 deliver the world&#039;s best ANC (active noise cancellation) in in-ear headphones. They suppress up to twice as much noise as the AirPods Pro 2 and up to four times as much as the original AirPods Pro. The closed fit with silicone ear tips further enhances the effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Max 2 utilize an over-ear design and nine microphones (eight for ANC, three for voice capture) for particularly effective noise cancellation. Apple states that the ANC is 1.5 times more effective than its predecessor. The Max 2 particularly excels at blocking out low frequencies \u2013 such as airplane engines and train noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All models with ANC support Conversation Awareness: The volume is automatically reduced when a conversation with a person nearby begins, and then raised back to the original level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>ANC Conclusion:<\/strong> If you don&#039;t need noise cancellation, go for the AirPods 4. For solid ANC in an open design, the AirPods 4 with ANC are a good choice. The Pro 3 offer maximum noise cancellation in an in-ear format. The Max 2 are the best choice for ANC in over-ear headphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-klang-und-audio\">Sound and Audio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All four models utilize the H2 chip and support personalized 3D audio with dynamic head tracking. This provides spatial sound that adapts to head movement \u2013 especially with Dolby Atmos content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airpods-4-und-airpods-4-mit-anc\">AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods 4 use a low-distortion driver designed by Apple with a high dynamic range amplifier. The sound is clear and detailed, with deeper bass and more precise treble than its predecessor. Adaptive EQ automatically adjusts the sound to the shape of your ear. Both AirPods 4 models offer identical sound quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airpods-pro-3-0\">AirPods Pro 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pro 3 feature a completely redesigned acoustic multiport architecture with more precise airflow control. An inward-facing microphone points directly at the ear canal, delivering deeper bass, clearer vocals, and a wider soundstage. The closed-back design results in fuller bass response than the AirPods 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airpods-max-2-0\">AirPods Max 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Max 2 feature a new high-dynamic-range amplifier for even clearer sound. Apple-designed dynamic drivers deliver the widest soundstage in the AirPods lineup. The over-ear design enables bass response and dynamics unmatched by any in-ear model. A unique feature: via USB-C, the Max 2 support lossless audio and ultra-low latency audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Sound verdict:<\/strong> The AirPods 4 sound very good for everyday use. The Pro 3 offer a fuller sound and better bass response thanks to their closed design. The Max 2 are the sound benchmark in Apple&#039;s lineup \u2013 for music lovers, producers, and anyone who wants maximum audio quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gesundheitsfunktionen\">Health functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Pro 3 clearly stand out here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nur-airpods-pro-3\">AirPods Pro 3 only:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Heart rate measurement:<\/strong> Apple&#039;s smallest heart rate sensor to date is integrated into the AirPods Pro 3. It measures heart rate directly through the ears during workouts and delivers precise training data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Hearing aid function:<\/strong> The AirPods Pro 3 can be used as a clinically tested hearing aid. Featuring clearer voice transmission, automatic conversation amplification, and up to 10 hours of battery life in Transparency mode with hearing aid function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Hearing test:<\/strong> A scientifically recognized hearing test can be performed directly with the AirPods Pro 3 in five minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Hearing protection:<\/strong> Actively reduces loud ambient noise to protect hearing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with ANC, and AirPods Max 2 do not offer any of these health features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Health conclusion:<\/strong> If you regularly use AirPods for sports or value your hearing health, the Pro 3 is the only option. No other AirPods model offers heart rate monitoring or a hearing aid function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-akku-und-laden\">Battery and Charging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Model<\/th><th>Playback (headphones)<\/th><th>With charging case<\/th><th>Fast charging<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>AirPods 4<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 5 hours<\/td><td>Up to 30 hours<\/td><td>5 min = approx. 1 hr<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPods 4 with ANC<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 4 hours (ANC on) \/ 5 hours (ANC off)<\/td><td>Up to 20 hours (ANC on) \/ 30 hours (ANC off)<\/td><td>5 min = approx. 1 hr<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPods Pro 3<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 8 hours (ANC on) \/ 10 hours (hearing aid)<\/td><td>Up to 24 hours (ANC on)<\/td><td>5 min = approx. 1 hr<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AirPods Max 2<\/strong><\/td><td>Up to 20 hours (ANC on)<\/td><td>\u2013<\/td><td>USB-C<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Pro 3 offer by far the longest battery life of any in-ear headphones, with up to 8 hours of playback time with ANC enabled \u2013 and still up to 6.5 hours with heart rate monitoring activated. With the MagSafe charging case, a total of up to 24 hours of playback time with ANC enabled is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Max 2 last up to 20 hours \u2013 enough for several days of moderate use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in-ear models charge via USB-C through the case. The AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 with ANC also support wireless charging via an Apple Watch charger or Qi charger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Battery life conclusion:<\/strong> The AirPods 4 with ANC require more frequent charging with intensive use. The Pro 3 offer twice the battery life and are therefore better suited for long workdays, travel, or extended workouts.

For \u20ac149, you get comfortable everyday headphones with solid sound \u2013 no unnecessary frills. Those who want additional noise cancellation can opt for the ANC version for \u20ac50 more, which also includes Transparency mode, conversation detection, and wireless charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AirPods Pro 3 are the complete package. With the best ANC among in-ear headphones, integrated heart rate monitoring, hearing aid compatibility, and up to 8 hours of battery life, they offer the most comprehensive feature set of any AirPods.

AirPods 4 with ANC?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both models share the same open design without silicone inserts and the same H2 chip. The ANC variant additionally offers active noise cancellation, transparency mode, adaptive audio, conversation detection, live translation, and wireless charging of the case.

Thanks to their closed fit with silicone ear tips, the Pro 3 offer significantly better ANC, fuller bass, and up to 8 hours of playback time instead of 4 hours. They also include exclusive features like heart rate monitoring, hearing aid compatibility, and IP57 water and dust resistance.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774655257755\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do the AirPods Pro 3 have a heart rate monitor?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.

Battery life is reduced to up to 6.5 hours when heart rate monitoring is enabled.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774655275068\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who are the AirPods Max 2 intended for?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The AirPods Max 2 are aimed at users seeking maximum sound quality in an over-ear format. They offer the widest soundstage of any AirPods, lossless audio via USB-C, nine microphones for the best ANC in the Apple lineup, and up to 20 hours of battery life. Their price of \u20ac579 clearly positions them in the premium segment.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774655299296\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which AirPods have the best noise cancellation?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For in-ear headphones, the AirPods Pro 3 \u2013 according to Apple, they suppress up to twice as much noise as the AirPods Pro 2 and up to four times as much as the original AirPods Pro. For over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max 2 offer 1.5 times better ANC than their predecessor and feature nine microphones.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774655332225\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you translate conversations in real time using AirPods?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, but not with all models. Live translation is available on AirPods 4 with ANC, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods Max 2. An iPhone with Apple Intelligence and iOS 26 is required. Supported languages include German, English, French, Spanish, and Japanese.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774655354615\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which AirPods are best suited for sports?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The AirPods Pro 3 offer the most secure fit thanks to five ear tip sizes, including XXS, the best protection against sweat and water (IP57), integrated heart rate monitoring, and up to 8 hours of battery life with ANC. The AirPods 4, due to their open design, are less suitable for intense exercise.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\" id=\"h-kennt-ihr-schon-unsere-amazon-storefront-dort-findet-ihr-eine-handverlesene-auswahl-von-diversen-produkten-f-r-euer-iphone-und-co-viel-spa-beim-st-bern\"><em>Have you already checked out our Amazon Storefront?
