Apple has released an updated version of its AirPods Pro headphones with better noise cancellation and volume controls that you can use by touching the earbuds. Now, Apple has released AirPods Pro 2 to give you an amazing sound experience. It was released on September 23 in the United States and is now available everywhere. Let’s look at the main features of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 and how much they cost.
Key Features of Apple AirPods 2nd Generation
Design
There aren’t many differences between the AirPods Pro and the 2nd Generation AirPods Pro. There are a few differences, though. The vents and microphones have been moved slightly, but the bud-and-stem design hasn’t changed.
Now, the box comes with four ear tips, including a smaller XS size. This gives you more options to find the best fit and seal for your ear. If you had a hard time getting the AirPods to fit right, the extra ear tips could help. They are easy to use because they are small and light, and you don’t have to cram them into your ears.

People didn’t like that the first Apple iPhone Pro didn’t have touch-sensitive volume controls on the earbuds, which is a feature that most phones have now. Apple has decided to fix this problem. Its new AirPods Pro 2 have a touch-capacitive strip on the stem that lets you swipe up to change the volume or down to mute.
But you have to keep pinching the stems to pause, skip, or answer calls, and a long press gives you different noise-canceling modes.
The most important change is to the charging case, which now has a built-in speaker and a lanyard loop. The speaker lets you know when the unit is turned on when the battery is low, or if you’ve lost it. But the size and shape of the case are the same. It fits easily into a purse, pocket, or the palm of your hand.

Aside from the regular charging ports, you can also charge the AirPods Pro 2 wirelessly with an Apple Watch charger, a MagSafe charger, or a Qi-compatible charging mat. You can also use the Lightning to USB-C cable that comes with the box.
Sound Quality
The AirPods Pro 2 sound great and are better than their predecessor because they have more detail and more dynamic range. Apple’s products have always impressed us with how clear and useful they are, and the AirPods Pro 2 is no different.

Each earpiece has custom low-distortion, high-excursion drivers, transducers, and ultrafast HDR amplifiers. These parts, along with the powerful audio algorithms in the H2 chip, make for a better listening experience than the original Pro.
The AirPods Pro 2 are elegant and lively. Songs come out smoothly, and they can handle songs that are both upbeat and quiet without any trouble.
Other Features
The active noise cancellation on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 is very good, and you can tell when you listen to them. The new AirPods from Apple are said to block out twice as much background noise. This is made possible by the addition of a powerful new H2 chip and the “optimized” repositioning of the vents and microphones.
Still, the call quality is fine. Your voice might not sound as full as it could, but it’s still clear and easy to hear. The other person will also be able to be heard clearly.
The new AirPods Pro 2 lasts a lot longer on a single charge than the old model. On a single charge, they can be used for six hours, and with the charging case, they can be used for up to 30 hours. That’s a big step up, and it puts them in the top half of their class. That’s six hours longer than the model it replaced (which only lasted for 24 hours total).
Now Apple’s earbuds can go up against Sony’s WF-1000XM4 earbuds (which can last for eight hours in the buds and 24 hours in total).
But the new charging case drains the battery a bit faster than the old one. Don’t worry, though, because it charges up quickly. So, if your earbuds run out of power, just put them in the case for 5 minutes to charge, and you’ll be good to go for another hour.

In the iPhone’s settings menu, there is now a new section just for AirPods. You can now find all the settings for your AirPods in one place. Here, you can change the settings for Siri voice control, Adaptive Transparency, Personalized Spatial Audio, and touch control to make things easier.
Spatial Audio is back and better than ever, thanks to Apple. Now, with dynamic head tracking, you can listen to music or watch videos in a way that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of it all. But people who use Android will not be able to use these new features.
Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 are made with Bluetooth 5.3, which makes them easy to connect.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 price
In the US, the AirPods Pro 2 cost $249, at the moment, the original AirPods Pro 2 can be bought on Amazon India for Rs 26,900 and on Flipkart for Rs 26,900.
Final Verdict
It’s amazing how much better the AirPods Pro 2 work than the first version. No one thought Apple could compete with Sony and Bose, but Apple did it. These headphones do a great job of blocking out noise. They are also really easy to put on and sound great. When you use the Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation earphones, you’ll have a great time.
