The Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are good for commute and travel use. Their one-size-fits-all design will be comfortable for most people, although those with particularly large or small ears will have no way of adjusting the fit and will find they fall out of your ear all too easily. They're very lightweight and portable, too, with a case that's even smaller than previous iterations. Their noise isolation performance is surprisingly good in common scenarios, considering their open-back design. While they won't hermetically seal you from the external world, they can effectively attenuate against low engine rumbles and nearby conversations. Even though their continuous battery life is on the shorter side, at 4.5 hours, they can fully charge in about 30 minutes, and their case carries an extra four charges.
