Briefly

I tried Apple's noise-canceling AirPods 4 for the first time. I felt like a scared Victorian child.
"My first experience with noise canceling... immediately, everything went quiet. I looked around, confused. Did the loud trampoline park just turn off the upbeat pop music they were blasting?"
"I was like a caveman being shown a Bic lighter; fearful and confused. This is incredibly embarrassing on one level because I am a professional technology journalist."
Noise-cancelling headphones have been available since the 1980s, gaining popularity with Bose models in the 2000s. The AirPods Pro introduced this technology in 2019. A first-time user experienced shock and confusion when using AirPods 4, as the sudden silence in a noisy trampoline park led to panic. The user realized the profound impact of noise-cancelling technology, likening the experience to a caveman discovering fire. Despite being a technology journalist, the user felt embarrassed for not having tried noise-cancelling headphones sooner.
