If you’re shopping for premium wireless earbuds, chances are you’d have seen the AirPods Pro 2 from Apple. Apple has armed the next generation of its all-best selling AirPods Pro product with many exciting upgrades to shake things up for best listening experiences. But with several wireless earbuds on the market, do AirPods Pro 2 really deserve an upgrade? We’ll teardown what new-gen earbuds have to offer in this review.
What’s New with AirPods Pro 2?
AirPods Pro 2 has a number of new upgrades, from much improved audio quality to longer battery life. Here are the standout features that distinguish them from the original AirPods Pro:
- Advanced Active Noise Cancellation
They claim to deliver up to two times the noise-cancelling power for AirPods Pro 2 against its predecessor. This is a fundamental upgrade for those seeking to fully enjoy listening of music or podcasts while tuning out background noise.
- Better Audio Sound Quality
The new H2 chip also makes the AirPods Pro 2 deliver better sound quality with clear audio. This audio also comes with low distortion features, and the deeper bassing goes, with a more refined high end sound output.
- Long Battery Life
Battery life was increased up to 6 hours on a single charge, as well as up to 30 hours with the charging case. Extra convenience is valuable for anyone who is always on the move.
- Transparent Mode
The ambient noise is controlled to let you listen to the outside world in a more natural way without removing the noise cancellation at all. This is particularly helpful if you are walking through bustling streets or want to use the Airpods near airports.
- Find My Integration with the Case
Apple has added a speaker on the charging case and integrated it with Find My. So, in case you lose your earbuds or case, you can more easily find the other one.
Is the Audio Quality Better?
Yes, very much. The H2 chip raises the sound quality quite a few notches, so AirPods Pro 2 will serve their customers well to those in love with music and want good listening. The bass is deep and richer, highs are clearer, and overall the dynamics are up to the mark. The frequencies are further perfected by Apple, so these earbuds will now play almost any genre of music, including rock pop, and even classical-end.
The better ANC is, of course, a game-changer if you find yourself in noisy environments quite often. While the original AirPods Pro had decent noise-cancelling, the AirPods Pro 2 effectively block out more ambient sounds creating that quiet bubble wherever you are. Be it a plane, a crowded cafe or walking down city streets, the noise canceling on AirPods Pro 2 is top-notch.
Conclusion
All in all, the AirPods Pro 2 are a welcome upgrade from the first generation, offering significant improvements that would be perfect among those with top-tier audio demands. With enhanced noise cancellation and richer sounds, together with useful, practical new features such as Adaptive Transparency Mode, one will not doubt how Airpod technology was made to bring out the best.
