AirPods 2 Generation
Are you looking for the standard AirPods 4 rather than the ANC version? At €85 in good condition, this is a fair-to-good buy: it sits above the €71 median but below the €93 upper quartile from 255 comparable listings. It is not a bargain, but the price is defensible if the set is complete and the battery remains healthy.
The appeal is the comfortable open fit, reliable Apple-device integration, clear everyday sound, hands-free Siri and USB-C charging; the case and earbuds are also compact and the standard model can deliver up to five hours per charge, with roughly 30 hours through the case. They suit listeners who dislike sealed ear tips and want awareness of their surroundings. Just confirm this is not being confused with the pricier ANC model, since standard AirPods 4 do not offer active noise cancellation.

Apple Inc. traces its origins to April 1, 1976, when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, along with Ronald Wayne, founded the company in the Jobs family garage in Cupertino, California. What began as a modest venture to build personal computers evolved into a tech powerhouse, with early forays into audio via the 2001 launch of iTunes and the iconic iPod portable music player.
In the hi-fi realm, Apple focuses on integrated consumer audio solutions rather than traditional separates like amplifiers, turntables, or DACs. The company is renowned for wireless speakers such as the short-lived iPod Hi-Fi (2006-2007) and the more advanced HomePod series, alongside premium headphones including AirPods and AirPods Max. These products emphasize seamless ecosystem integration, portability, and digital streaming over analog purism.
Apple holds a dominant position in the premium consumer audio market, blending high-end aspirations with mass-market accessibility. While not a staple among traditional hi-fi purists—who often critique its closed ecosystem and past efforts like the iPod Hi-Fi as underwhelming—its products command loyalty for sonic refinement, computational audio processing, and design excellence, positioning it as a mid-to-high-tier contender for savvy buyers prioritizing convenience over boutique esoterica.
