Airpods pro 2 vs pro: what differences

Same bell sound on the side of the active noise reduction where the pro 2 perfect an already stunning reduction. The new Apple version plays in the escalation with the arrival of an adaptive transparent mode which allows a filtration of finer noise depending on the ambient noise, to stay on alert while protecting the fragile esgourdes of the carrier.

During its back -to -school keynote, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 alongside the new AirPods Pro. It took the brand three years to refine an already successful recipe while bringing changes to the era of time. But faced with formidable first airpods of the name and an ever sharp competition, such as the Sony WF-1000XM4, are the newcomers sufficiently armed ?

True Wireless headphones: Apple Airpods Pro (2nd generation) VS Apple AirPods Pro

Mostly anticipated, the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) have ratiboised in their path. But they really stand out from their predecessors.

On the design side, new generation Airpods Pro are very close to their elders. If the aesthetic pan does not present any real novelty, the advances are to be found on the side of the features. The new load case is thus equipped with a notch notch, a loudspeaker and a magsafe load system, in addition to a location system to never lose your wireless headphones. The addition of a shortcut to the headphones to adjust the volume, as well as the increased autonomy of the new vintage will be to convince the most reluctant.

On the audio side, the latest born from the Cupertino firm benefit from advanced sensitive in terms of sound restitution. More precise, fairer and more flattering, the latter plays largely in favor of the Airpods Pro 2 which will find a place of choice in the hollow of the music lovers. For their part, the Airpods Pro always deliver a service at the top of the basket, but must bow to the newcomer even more successful.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation): Simply stunning

The AirPods Pro (2nd generation) succeed the AirPods Pro Primary of the name by bringing their share of new features. New speakers, no.

Same bell sound on the side of the active noise reduction where the pro 2 perfect an already stunning reduction. The new Apple version plays in the escalation with the arrival of an adaptive transparent mode which allows a filtration of finer noise depending on the ambient noise, to stay on alert while protecting the fragile esgourdes of the carrier.

Put end to end, the qualities of the AirPods Pro (2nd generation) are undeniable and it is delicate to refuse them the victory. However, the AirPods Pro do not demerit and deliver services that always place them among the best True Wireless of the market.

Zero pointed for Apple AirPods Pro 2 on the repairability and environment side

First seller of Intras True Wireless in the world, Apple was expected at the turn concerning the repairability of its new Pro AirPods.

Airpods pro 2 vs pro: what differences ?

In addition to the new iPhone 14 range and three new connected watches, Apple also presented the successors of the AirPods Pro during its Keynote on September 7.

The second generation of the brand’s high-end in-ear headphones does not change concept, but brings improvements to almost all areas. The biggest innovations concern its charge box.

What’s new with AirPods Pro 2 ?

On the design side, the Cupertino firm has slightly moved the microphones and integrated sensors. To take advantage of real changes, it is internally that it happens. Apple has integrated its new H2 chip, which is supposed to improve sound processing as well as offer better active deletion of noise and many other software functions.

Spatial audio has a new personalized component. In the future, owners of an iPhone with a TrueDepth sensor will be able to scan their ears and adapt the spatial sound experience to their hearing. First generation AirPods Pro AirPods does not benefit from this technology.

The active deletion of noise is also reviewed. According to the apple brand declarations, thanks to its H2 chip, the AirPods Pro 2 can isolate twice as much noise as their predecessor. Not to mention that the mode of transparency associated with it can adapt dynamically and automatically to the AirPods Pro 2, while this setting is still manual on the first iteration.

The new touch control panel on the stems is discreet, but almost revolutionary, it now allows you to adjust the volume of a simple scanning gesture.

Bluetooth 5.3

Probably the most important software update, the AirPods Pro 2 support Bluetooth 5.3 and therefore a multitude of new possibilities. It is a much more energy -efficient type of transmission which, thanks to the new LC3 codec, sounds at least as well as before, or even better.

In theory, this innovation offers a longer battery life and independent sound transmission for each individual airpod.

In practice, the life of the AirPods Pro 2 battery life is actually longer with up to 6 hours of autonomy when the ANC is activated and 30 hours with the case, against 4.5 and 24 hours for AirPods Pro.

Material change

On the material side, there are of course also some updates. Apple would use a new low distortion pilot supposed to offer better quality sound. We can only judge in the exact way in which it works only in our test.

While the global dimensions have not changed compared to the predecessors, the AirPods Pro 2 have become lighter by 0.1 gram. If it seems insignificant on paper, it could make the difference for more sensitive ears.

Most innovations are in the loading base of the AirPods Pro 2. Outside, Apple simply installed a small eyelet on the side so that you can attach the case to your keychain or backpack.

Unlike its predecessors, the AirPods Pro 2 housing also supports Apple’s “locating” function. Apple also incorporates a small speaker which is supposed to help when searching for the case and emits a noise if necessary. It is also used to point out the appearance and announce the condition of the battery. The latter should be a useful addition to the already excellent accessibility options of Apple.

The way in which the AirPods Pro 2 are loaded to remain unchanged, Apple continues to use the Lightning connection, also used with the iPhone 14. Next year, the firm will have to count on the USB-C, according to the will of the EU.

It supports the Magsafe wireless, while adding compatibility with the Apple Watch charger, which should reduce the number of accessories to take with you when you travel.

Price

As with almost all the other devices that Apple presented during its September Keynote, the company also increased the price of the AirPods Pro 2. They now cost € 299 against € 279 for the first iteration.

With the presentation of AirPods Pro 2, Apple has completely removed the predecessors from its own range. However, the remaining stocks are still available from other resellers (Amazon, Fnac, Boulanger, Rakuten, etc.), and mostly at an already lower price.

Conclusion

Overall, the AirPods Pro 2 are an interesting update compared to the previous model.

But should you replace your old AirPods Pro with the new AirPods Pro 2 ? If you plan to buy the state -of -the -art Apple devices anyway, then yes. Nevertheless, if you naturally hesitate to pay € 300 for new headphones, then we advise you to wait a bit.
