Questions about Apple AirPods 4

Noise cancelling on the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC can be switched off. Users can switch between modes, including transparency mode and switching off noise cancelling completely, to listen to music only without filtering out other sounds.

It may be due to the sound driver on your laptop or the Bluetooth driver. Check the device driver versions for you and your colleague.

Well, it's always a matter of opinion, but I would say perfect!

Maybe they are made in both places. Companies are getting nervous about relying solely on Chine in case they invade Taiwan and are then subject to sever sanctions.

When using the AirPods 4 with ANC on an Android device, here are the key functions and limitations you should be aware of: ## Compatibility and Basic Functions - The AirPods 4 can be connected to an Android device, and you can use them to listen to music, make calls, and control media playback using gestures like double-tapping to skip tracks or pause/play music. ## Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) - The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature does not fully function with Android devices. While you can connect the AirPods 4 with ANC to an Android phone, the ANC functionality will not be available as it requires integration with Apple's ecosystem to work properly. ## Gesture Controls - Gesture controls such as double-tapping to skip tracks, tapping to pause/play music, and call controls work on Android devices. However, you cannot adjust the volume using the force sensor on the stem. ## Other Features - Advanced features like Personalized Spatial Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Adaptive Audio are not fully compatible with Android devices. These features are optimized for use within the Apple ecosystem. In summary, while the AirPods 4 can be used with Android devices for basic audio and call functions, the ANC and some advanced features will not work as intended due to the lack of integration with the Apple ecosystem.

Yes, you can connect the AirPods 4 to your iPhone and a PC at the same time, for example to hold a meeting in Microsoft Teams, but there are some limitations and requirements. - The AirPods 4 support automatic pairing and automatic switching between Apple devices that are connected to the same Apple ID. This means you can easily switch them between your iPhone and other Apple devices such as a Mac or iPad. - However, to connect to a PC (especially if it's not an Apple device), you'll need to switch manually. The AirPods 4 can be connected to non-Apple devices via Bluetooth, but switching between an iPhone and a PC usually requires manual intervention, as automatic switching only works between Apple devices. So to hold a meeting in Microsoft Teams via your PC while connected to your iPhone at the same time, you would need to manually switch the connection if you want to switch between devices.
