They include the same audio masking tech found on last year\u2019s A30 sleepbuds (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/781970\/earbuds-that-block-snoring-soundcore-a30\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">that can really silent a snoring partner<\/a>) only now with longer battery life and improved ANC to help silent other noises in the environment. Both sets of buds feature a \u201c20 percent smaller contact area\u201d than the A30 buds, which should reduce pressure and make them more comfortable to wear. They also come with new cases that can be charged on a wireless charging pad, but only the 4 Pro\u2019s case has a display because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/856225\/power-banks-are-the-latest-victims-of-feature-creep\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anker can\u2019t stop putting screens on things<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">When streaming music, podcasts, or audiobooks over the buds\u2019 upgraded Bluetooth v6.0 radio, you\u2019ll now get 8 hours of life with ANC on or 11 hours with ANC off, according to Anker. Local playback of audio soundscapes is estimated at 9.5 hours (ANC on) or 14.5 hours (ANC off).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The SleepHub case that comes with the 4 Pro buds can control the buds without a phone. That means you can use the integrated OLED display to swipe through preset soundscapes, check your sleep stats, set an alarm, and more. Both the SleepHub case and regular Earbuds 4 case (that still requires a phone) support wireless charging pads for added convenience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Earbuds 4 Pro add an in-ear PPG sensor like modern earbuds sold by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/1\/8\/24024989\/sennheiser-momentum-4-sport-accentum-plus-price-release-date-features-heart-rate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sennheiser<\/a>, Bose, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/772410\/apple-airpods-pro-3-release-date-pricing-announcement\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a> and others to measure real-time stress, fatigue, and recovery levels. Anker will use it to monitor your sleep state, heart rate, and HRV to assess your sleep status and then \u201cfacilitate relaxation into sleep\u201d by playing \u201cadaptive soothing audio tracks using Soundcore\u2019s BioSync feature.\u201d That\u2019s something we\u2019ll have to test.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The Sleep Earbuds 4 model will launch in October for $229.99 \/ \u00a3199.99 in choice of white and blue, with a pink option coming at a later date.
