The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) are a follow-up to the previous model and make some important upgrades to the audio, fit, and features. These are true wireless earphones that are developed for those users who want to have the best sound quality and additional functionality with better compatibility with other Apple devices.
Design and Comfort
The exterior of the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) is sleek and the device also serves a practical purpose. It comes with three pairs of soft silicone ear tips where the users can select one that suits their ears. This adaptation not only makes the wearing experience more comfortable but also provides better ANC performance. The earbuds have a comfortable fit in the ear so as to minimize discomfort when the user is listening for long hours. Also, the new model has a pressure relieving vent to counter the pressure build up which some users have likened to feeling of ‘ear fullness’
Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
Perhaps, the most notable improvement of the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) is the enhanced Active Noise Cancellation. With two microphones and the new H2 chip from the company, outside noise is filtered out enabling users to have a better feel of the music. The ANC has been evolved from the previous generation to be better in its performance in different conditions.
There has also been an improvement in the Transparency Mode. This feature enables the users to hear voices and other sounds in the environment but at the same time listen to the audio. Transparency Mode 2. 0 allows for clearer audio so that people can have conversations or be mindful of their surroundings without having to take off the earphones.
Sound and Spatial Sound
The AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) are great in terms of providing good sound quality. This is where we see that the inclusion of spatial audio with dynamic head tracking is one of the best features. This technology is to adapt the sound field according to the position of the user’s head, and it is especially suitable for movies, music with objects in space. The bass is powerful, the mids are clean, and the trebles are sharp – all in all, it is a great sound.
