Although the big protagonists of the Apple Far Out event were the new iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra, those from Cupertino also used the event for a more anticipated product update. Introducing the second generation of AirPods Pro. And the point is that we have to remember that the first generation was presented in 2019 and that it left a very good taste in our mouths, but that a renovation was already necessary.
At first glance, it may give the impression that no major changes have taken place since then aesthetically, the design is very similar. This is quite understandable, as the design of the first generation was already very successful, so introducing major changes in this regard could be counterproductive. However, there are some very interesting changes that fully justify the generational leap.
On the one hand, in these second-generation AirPods Pro the entire cylindrical part of each earcup becomes a touch control surface, which makes it easier to access more functions, such as volume control, pausing and restarting playback, changing the song we are listening to or invoking Siri, functions that we can control in this way. This improvement will come in handy especially when using them while walking or especially when doing sports activities.
Although aesthetically the charging case is also very similar to the one from the previous generation, we can also find very interesting novelties in it. The most remarkable thing is that now includes a U1 locator chip, which will provide a much more accurate location when using Apple’s search function. In addition, it now has a speaker capable of reproducing high tones, which will be of great help in locating the case. And as a personalization detail, Apple now lets you customize the case with a personal Memoji or Animoji. In addition, the case also enables charging with the Apple Watch charger.
Already inside we find the integrated Apple H2, responsible for the active noise cancellation functions and that cIt cancels up to twice as much noise as the first generation AirPods Pro. In addition, they also have an adaptive ambient sound mode that avoids the risks of absolute sound isolation when, for whatever reason (from waiting for traffic to walking down the street), this is not recommended.
In addition, he is also responsible for something highly anticipated in this generation, and this is it AirPods Pro already support surround sound, the positional sound system that Apple introduced last year and which already has a wide selection of compatible recordings on Apple Music. It’s there too what’s new in the converter responsible for sound reproduction. In this new version of the same, which is equipped with its own amplifier, the distortion in the bass reproduction is reduced, which takes on nuances and therefore improves the overall sharpness of the sound.
The autonomy is also improved, which lasts from four and a half hours of the previous generation six hours with active noise cancellationthis new version. The charging case is capable of providing up to four full charges, so the autonomy as a whole increases up to thirty hours.
In terms of pricing and timing, the second-generation AirPods Pro can be pre-ordered from next Friday, September 9 on Apple’s website, and the first units will reach users and stores on Friday, September 23. His price will be €299.
