With just a few months until the holiday shopping season heats up, Apple is wrapping up a slew of new gadgets, including the AirPods 4 and iPhone 16, which were released on Friday (September 20).

The tech giant debuted the iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, AirPods 2 headphones with hearing aid capabilities, five new AirPod Max colors and more during Apple's September 9 event.

Apple's AirPods 4 ($129) feature upgraded acoustic technology, an interactive H2 chip, personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, and the ability to respond to Siri by “gently” shaking your head. The battery in the AirPods 4 lasts up to 30 hours, and Apple promises that the new headphones are comfortable for different ear shapes.

“With AirPods 4, customers can enjoy Active Noise Cancellation and the most advanced audio experience ever in an open-ear design,” said John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering. “And with a revolutionary update to the world's best-selling headphones, AirPods Pro will deliver ground-breaking new features — including Hearing Test and Hearing Aid features — to help more than one billion people affected by hearing loss.”

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation ($179) feature transparency mode and adaptive audio that “dynamically combines transparency mode and ANC based on the user's environmental conditions,” according to news bulletin. Conversation Awareness lowers the volume on your AirPods when you start talking to someone nearby.

The AirPods 4 case is 10 percent smaller than its predecessor and features a USB charging cable. In addition to the cable, you can charge AirPods 4 with ANC on an Apple Watch charger or a Qi-certified charger.

AirPods 4, AirPods 4 ANC and AirPods Max are available at major retailers like Amazon and Walmart and Apple.com.

Apple's new hearing health features will be available for AirPods Pro 2 starting this fall.
