Apple fans, especially those celebrating their Chinese Zodiac sign for 2025, will want to collect this year’s “Year of the Snake” Special Edition AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. The special edition packaging comes with red foil prints for the extra good luck, and a snake motif engraved on the AirPods case.
Here are some of the key features of the AirPods 4 with ANC:

- Improved Fit & All-Day Comfort – The new internal architecture and a refined contour provide a natural and secure fit for more people than ever.
- Active Noise Cancellation in an open-ear design – Active Noise Cancellation will primarily help to reduce low-frequency environmental noise—like airplane engines or city traffic—so that you can listen to media at even lower volumes, without sacrificing audio quality.
- Transparency Mode – This listening mode is perfect for staying connected to your surroundings when you’re on a call or listening to music or podcasts.
- Adaptive Audio – This blends Transparency mode and Active Noise Cancellation, adjusting the noise control based on the sound in a user’s environment.
- Conversation Awareness – When a user begins speaking to someone nearby, this feature helps to lower the content volume, enhance the voices in front of the user, and reduce background noise.
- Personalised Spatial Audio – Using the TrueDepth camera on iPhone, users can create a personal profile for Spatial Audio that delivers a listening experience precisely tuned just for them.
- Siri Interactions and Voice Isolation – This includes an entirely new way to privately respond to Siri announcements with a nod “yes” or shake of the head “no.” And for clearer call quality for whomever you’re speaking with, Voice Isolation removes the background noise around you on calls no matter your environment.
- Smaller, more capable case – The streamlined wireless charging case is more than 10 percent smaller by volume than the previous generation, as well as a built-in speaker for Find My to help you keep track of it.
- All-day battery life – It delivers up to 4 hours of listening time in Active Noise Cancellation and up to 20 hours with the Wireless Charging Case.
The Special Edition AirPods 4 with ANC is out now on Apple.com and Apple stores in Singapore, retailing at S$249.
