Nice one with ACN and great service from TGG
It is very impressive with the new generation of AirPods which now comes with ACN as a standard. It was great to have this little device for my day to day as an backup of my AirPods Pro. Nice and enjoy it!

Things to consider
The open-ear design is comfortable and airy, but it may feel less secure and isolate less passively than in-ear earbuds designed for maximum seal and longer battery life.
Commuter suitability score
8/10 - Strong for trains, buses and walking thanks to ANC, Adaptive Audio and compact portability, though the open-ear fit is less isolating than sealed in-ear designs.
Workout fit
Good for light to moderate workouts; the IP57 rating helps with sweat and rain, but open-ear buds may feel less locked-in than sport-focused in-ear models.
Noise isolation effectiveness
7/10 - Active Noise Cancellation helps meaningfully, but the open-ear design offers less passive seal than in-ear alternatives.
All-day comfort rating
9/10 - The open-ear shape is well suited to long listening sessions for users who prefer a lighter, less intrusive fit.
Multi-device switching ease
9/10 - Very easy within the Apple ecosystem, especially for users moving between iPhone, iPad and Mac on compatible software.
Key benefits
- Active Noise Cancellation: Helps reduce outside noise for more focused listening during commutes and busy daily use.
- Adaptive Audio: Blends noise control and awareness automatically to suit changing environments.
- Conversation Awareness: Lowers playback volume when you start talking, making quick chats easier without removing an earbud.
- Voice Isolation: Reduces background noise during calls to help your voice sound clearer in louder places.
- Personalised Spatial Audio: Creates a more immersive surround-style sound experience for music, movies and games on compatible content.
- IP57 Dust, Sweat and Water Resistance: Better suited to rain, sweaty sessions and everyday outdoor use.
- USB-C Charging Case: Keeps charging simple with a compact case that is easy to carry every day.
- Battery Life with ANC: Delivers up to 4 hours on one charge with Active Noise Cancellation on, and up to 20 hours total with the case.
Q: Do the main AirPods 5 smart features need an iPhone?
A: Yes. Features such as Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, Live Translation and Siri AI need a compatible Apple device on the latest software. Personalised Spatial Audio also needs an iPhone with a TrueDepth camera to create your profile.
Q: Is the open-ear fit good for commuting in noisy places?
A: Yes, for everyday commuting. Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Audio help reduce surrounding noise, but the open-ear design does not create a full seal, so very loud trains, buses and streets will still come through more than sealed earbuds.
Q: Can I use AirPods 5 for running and sweaty workouts?
A: Yes. AirPods 5 are rated IP57 for dust, sweat and water resistance and suit non-water sports, rain and heavy workouts. The open-ear shape can feel less locked in during intense training than a sport-focused fit, so stability varies by ear shape.
Q: Are they suitable for long flights with ANC switched on?
A: They can suit shorter flights, but plan on case top-ups. AirPods 5 deliver up to 4 hours of listening time on one charge with Active Noise Cancellation on, and up to 20 hours total when the charging case is included.
Q: Does this AirPods 5 model include a wireless charging case?
A: No. MKFW4X/A comes with the ultra-compact USB-C Charging Case. Apple also offers an AirPods 5 version with a Wireless Charging Case, so browse the AirPods 5 range if cable-free case charging matters to your setup.
Q: Which AirPods 5 features are missing on this model?
A: AirPods 5 do not include heart rate sensing, Hearing Test, Hearing Aid feature or Hearing Protection. If those functions are a priority, this model focuses instead on noise control, call clarity and Apple-only smart features.
