The launch of the AirPods of Apple years ago represented the beginning of a new era. With that idea, the Cupertino company was able to overshadow the entire category, with no other competing device capable of equalizing the score.
In fact, wireless earphones existed before the AirPods even arrived, but since then there has been very little to do: it’s total domination. Apple makes more money from its headphones than other companies do even though we haven’t seen any major updates for a while now.
According to what has been reported, some changes could be planned for the “non-Pro” AirPods, i.e. those of 4th generation which will arrive in 2024.
Apple AirPods 2024, some updates expected including ANC on the “non-pro” model
At the moment, Apple’s AirPods range is made up of three products which are the basic 2nd generation ones, the 3rd generation ones and the 2nd generation Pro ones. As for the basic 2nd generation ones, the design remains the classic one, while the 3rd generation ones change quite a bit. As for the Pro model, there is a noticeable difference: the presence of active noise cancellationalso called ANC.
This is a distinctive feature that is able to allow users to completely isolate themselves from background noise by concentrating only on the music being listened to. Between the basic model and the 2nd generation Pro model, there is the 3rd generation model, which for many does not make much sense.
In 2024, according to a report that suddenly popped up online, Apple could remedy this situation with two variants of the 4th generation AirPods. The design will be updated and the charging cases redesigned, all with USB-C of course. The big news should be the implementation of active noise cancellation also on this modelwhich we remember will not belong to the Pro range. It would be the first time ever.
