Finally, Apple hosted its September event, which all Apple fans were most excited about. Apple launched a handful of its new products. Besides that, all music lovers were also very excited about the newly launched Apple Airpods Pro 2. There were rumors that Apple Airpods Pro 2’s case would have a speaker. However, as a speaker in the charging case, people had thoughts on that; what will it be used for? And many more. Let’s do an in-depth walkthrough into these new Airpods Pro 2 review and help you decide whether you should upgrade to Pro or not.
Apple Airpods Pro 2 was launched at the same price as its predecessor Apple Airpods Pro (2019). The new Airpods Pro 2 comes with significant upgrades at the same price. Apple claims the new AirPods Pro 2 offers a better noise cancellation than its predecessor. Apart from this, it has many new techs that will benefit users.
The new Apple Airpods Pro 2 will be on sale at the same price as its predecessor, $249. However, if you haven’t purchased Airpods Pro (2019), it’s the best time to buy those in the upcoming Apple deals. Nonetheless, the preorders of Airpods Pro 2 have already started on the 9th of September 2022, and they have been available from the 23rd of September 2022.
However, we discovered in our Airpods 2 review that despite the same price, Airpods Pro 2 offers meaningful new updates like improved ANC and spatial audio support. Also, the casing has been improved: it now has 30 hours of playtime, can be discovered with Find My app, can be charged wirelessly with an Apple Watch charger, and has a little nook for attaching a strap.
At first look at the new Airpods Pro 2, you will get confused between the new and old one. The earbuds look precisely the same. The case also shares the same old ergonomics with the design, but the speaker grill on the bottom side can be seen clearly. New Extra small sets of eartips are now included in the box.
The most visible design change on the case is the hole on the side of the Airpods Pro 2, which can be used to attach a lanyard loop. However, users can now engrave emojis on the front side of the case. This sounds fun and unique, making your Airpods Pro 2 look different from other AirPods. This won’t be appropriate for some professionals, but the young generations will love this design change.
Besides the same design, Apple Airpods Pro 2 has new intuitive and valuable updates. An inward-facing mic that offers users a better call quality. One of the most distinctive updates is the new swipe gestures. With the help of these gestures, users can easily control volume with just a swipe. The volume also adjusts itself with the use of your motion.
Active Noise Cancellation & transparency modes are one of the highlights Airpods Pro users have loved the most. The adaptive Transparency will adjust the volume of your earbuds by sensing your overall surroundings. Users enjoy their music without altering the background sound entering the earbuds.
Apple also claims that in AirPods Pro 2, the Active Noise Cancellation is twice as better as their first-gen Airpods Pro. Also, Apple has introduced Spatial Audio. With Active Noise Cancellation getting an upgrade & Spatial Audio, users can now immerse in their favorite music without worrying about their surroundings’ clutter sounds.
The Apple AirPods Pro 2nd generation delivers a punchy bass & a crisp, clear prevailing sound experience. It sounds better than its predecessors, thanks to the new low-distortion audio driver & custom amplifier. With the AirPods Pro 2, you can also upgrade to Personalized Spatial Audio. Using the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera, you can create a personal listening profile for almost any existing listening experience that supports Spatial Audio.
Talking Active Noise Cancellation, Apple has done an excellent job in the sound category. With Active Noise Cancellation turned on, the AirPods Pro 2nd generation dynamically adapts your surround sound. With the help of their new H2 chipset, it amplifies your music to offer you clutter-free music and sound experience. Apple also claims that the H2 chip allows it to provide ‘Adaptive Transparency automatically.’ So, if you’re strolling down the street with Transparency and a car with a noise siren passes by, the AirPods Pro will automatically adjust the sound without eliminating it. These intelligent features help users to protect their ears from the harm of environmental sounds. However, despite the rumors, AirPods Pro 2nd generation doesn’t offer lossless audio.
The most considerable improvement till now in the AirPods Pro 2nd generation is with the Battery Life. This is possible due to the new H2 chip introduced by Apple. The AirPods Pro 2nd generation can hold up to six hours on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation. However, turning off the extra features like Active Noise Cancellation & Spatial audio can offer up to seven hours of battery life. As Apple claims, the charging case can charge up your earbuds five times off a single charge. This adds up to 30 hours of battery life with the case with Active Noise Cancellation turned on. These are significant improvements in contrast to the last gen AirPods Pro battery life.
Now, users can boost the charging performance of the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds with their Apple Watch Charger. We found in our Airpods 2 review, that this is excellent news for users who have an Apple Watch and don’t need to worry about a separate charging dock for their AirPods Pro 2.
Not fully waterproof. The AirPods Pro features an IPX4 grade for ingress protection. The ‘4’ indicates that splashes from any direction will not damage your AirPods. They may, however, be harmed if submerged in water for an extended period.

Apart from the many new & upgraded features like Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Audio, Swipe controls, etc. The Battery Life is the most significant upgrade compared to the last generation AirPods Pro. If you already have the latest AirPods Pro, you don’t have to upgrade to the new one unless you worry about the Battery Life.
