Looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds? If so, Apple‘s newest release is for you. The tech company hasn’t refreshed the standard AirPods line since 2021, but now, three years later, they finally announced the Apple AirPods 4.

Now available for pre-order starting at $129 with delivery on Friday, Sept. 20, the AirPods 4 feature improved audio quality compared to previous models with enhanced comfort to suit multiple ear shapes.

The new earbuds have better battery life with up to 5 hours per charge or up to 30 hours with their included charging case.

Additionally, Apple announced noise-cancellation and wireless charging features for the AirPods 4. However, this model goes for $179 at Apple, Walmart and Amazon.

Meanwhile, the tech company also announced new variants of the Apple AirPods Max over-the-ear wireless headphones.

The model has the same features, audio and accessories as the previous version released in 2020, but now they come in five new colors — including Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple and Orange — and USB-C charging instead of Lightning for modernization. Now nearly all current Apple products have USB-C charging, so you won’t need to carry around a Lightning cable. These new headphones are available for pre-order now for $549 at Apple.

Apple AirPods 4 are priced at $129, while the Apple AirPods 4 with active noise-cancellation go for $179 at Apple.com, Walmart and Amazon. The new Apple AirPods Max with new colors and USB-C charging go for $549. You can pre-order all models now with delivery on Friday, Sept. 20, below:
