The base model at the $99 price point does not include active noise cancellation. There is a separate, more expensive AirPods 4 configuration that adds it. If noise control is your reason for buying, read the listing title carefully, because the two versions look identical in photos.",{"question":29,"answer":30},"Which one fits better if I have small ears?","This is the real dividing line and it has nothing to do with price. The AirPods 4 use a hard, open bud that rests in the ear without sealing it. The Pro 3 use a soft silicone tip that seals the canal and ships in multiple sizes. Some people cannot keep the open shape in at all, and some people find sealed tips uncomfortable after an hour. Fit preference should outrank the spec sheet.",{"question":32,"answer":33},"Are the AirPods Pro 3 worth it for the gym?","For running and lifting, the sealed tip is the safer buy because it stays put when you sweat and move.
