Introduction and Unboxing
It’s been exactly three years since Apple launched the AirPods Pro, and looking at their successors, it’s clear that Apple isn’t tired of the design.
But don’t be fooled by this – everything is better inside and Apple will have another winner.
is the same as 2022 Than, 900 the TWS market is more saturated and powerful, while the AirPods Pro 2’s The ability to actively suppress sound is no longer enough to stand up. Apple’s well-known rivals in the smartphone space and a strong offering in audio products mean the AirPods Pro 2 will need to work hard to earn their place.
On the other hand, for those deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, they will only see three options other than the euro 249/$59/Indian Rupee 009,900 AirPods Pro 2 – EUR59/$017 /Indian Rupee 001,209 AirPods 2, €159/$20 / Indian Rupee 10,629 AirPods 3, and €209/$320 / Indian Rupee 26,320 AirPods Max. That makes the AirPods Pro 2 the cheapest Apple earphones with active noise cancellation, an immediate win.
New headphone case, comparison with AirPods Pro
Let’s open these.
AirPods Pro 2 comes with USB-C to Lightning cable, XS/S/M/L Silicone ear tips and the ear tips themselves, in their case.
MagSafe charging case is new year. It gets a speaker to play Find My chimes, and a metal loop for a lanyard — eliminating one of the main reasons people buy AirPods cases.
But looping isn’t just about destroying third-party retailers’ bottom lines. Cleverly, it doubles as an antenna for the Find My service.
You can use MagSafe to charge your AirPods Pro 2 charger, Apple Watch charger, or any standard Qi charger. The outdated Lightning port is the wired option for charging on the new AirPods Pro 2.
The AirPods Pro 2 are pretty much the same as the original, with early rumors pointing to the shorter stem never coming to fruition. This isn’t a universally bad thing, as buyers of the original models will be sure they’ll fit just as well as the older models.
The new AirPods Pro 2 introduces a smaller XS earbud size, which will help those who find the S size too big. Since the earbuds fit older models, this gives owners of these earbuds another size option.
Design almost unchanged 
The only real change to the AirPods themselves is the replacement of the old ear sensor with a new skin detection sensor. It distinguishes between your ears and any other surface, so the earbuds don’t automatically start playing when they’re on a table or pocket – a very welcome change.
In addition to the old press and hold, the stem on the AirPods Pro 2 has a new sliding feature. So now you can swipe on the stem post to adjust volume – swipe up or down once to toggle one step correction in that direction.
You can play/pause with two fingers on the stem, while holding down will toggle between Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Transparency.

Find My has been improved with AirPods Pro 2. The case supports pinpoint finding, enabled by the U1 chip, and you can play sounds to help you locate the buds more easily. The shell also makes a chime.
There’s also a detailed battery indicator that will give you battery readings for the case as well as each of the two buds.

Sound Quality, Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Audio, Battery Life
Okay, let’s put the best Important thing to figure out – the AirPods Pro 2 sound great, and they’re a huge improvement over their predecessors.
Open AirPods. They have better isolation due to the in-ear design, which also gives them better bass characteristics. The original Pros had a wide soundstage, clear vocals, and sharp reproduction of instruments. However, their voices get muddled in the middle and tinny and harsh at higher volumes. Their high-mids lack presence, and the bass isn’t very impressive.
AirPods Pro 2 solves these problems. For starters, the soundstage is just as wide but clearer—the sound is more dynamic, so it fills the void where the old pair sounded cluttered and mushy. There’s more presence in the high-mids, and on the other hand, there’s more bass. And the AirPods Pro 2 can be louder without sacrificing sound quality.
So an overall improvement. If you use AirPods Pro every day and are considering the sound of the Pro 2, you’ll notice a noticeable improvement.
Same as above for Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Transparency Mode. Starting with ANC, the first thing you’ll notice is the absence of white noise hum in a quiet background. That’s the low-level noise floor, and it’s a stress that can be heard and felt on the original Pros when you’re not listening to anything. No audible and no pressure on AirPods Pro 2.
The new earbuds have better noise isolation. Apple claims a 2x improvement, but we won’t get that far. Better – Constant sounds (like an engine or fan) with the same rhythmic frequency are filtered more efficiently than before. However, there are better options like Sony’s WF-299 XM4 and, subjectively, the cheaper Samsung Galaxy Buds2.
Then there is the adaptive transparency mode. It allows outside noise but reduces harsh sounds like car horns or buildings on the street. In practice, it allows you to listen to music or podcasts/audiobooks while being safe outside. You can even have a conversation with someone without taking out the bud.
But don’t expect adaptive transparency to make you feel like you’re walking without a bud, it doesn’t.
Active Noise Cancellation
Spatial audio is great. It’s Apple’s pinnacle of simulating the surround sound you’d get when sitting in the middle of an extensive high-end speaker setup. There are two settings – Fixed enhances the sound quality but doesn’t have a real surround sound experience, and Head Tracked is amazing. Best used when seated, this mode simulates surround sound based on your head movements. Turn left and the “speaker” on the right will gradually fade out. It feels real and adds a whole new level to your favorite music.
Samsung and others tried to emulate the same functionality, but couldn’t match the proficiency achieved by Apple.
2022 Spatial Audio
AirPods Pro 2 has Dual beamforming microphones and an inward facing microphone combine to provide a great call experience. The person on the other end of the phone reported that our voice was almost as good as the phone.
AirPods Pro 2 battery life The time was excellent. We answered the phone for almost 6 and a half hours and 6 hours and 20 Minutes of music with ANC are all in 20% volume. For context, the older AirPods Pro had 4 1/2 hours of playback, while the AirPods 3 offer the same 6 hours of listening and 4 1/2 hours of talk time ratings as the Pros.
Summary
Well, the AirPods Pro 2 are great. They sound much better than previous Pros, have better battery life, and have excellent active noise cancellation. They’re also better than the open-back AirPods 3 in every way – more sound isolation, ANC vs. no ANC, better bass, wider soundstage, etc.
but really , what do you expect? It’s only natural for Apple to make the new AirPods Pro superior to their three-year-old predecessors.
The question of whether to buy the new AirPods Pro 2 or not is easy to answer – if you own the original Pros, getting new ones will bring countless improvements. This is magnified even further if you own AirPods 2 or 1. Buy AirPods Pro 2, you won’t regret it.
If you own AirPods 3, the problem is even harder. If you need active noise cancellation, switch to the AirPods Pro 2, otherwise, keep your existing earphones.

This is almost For everyone in the Apple ecosystem. On the other hand, if you’re an Android user, there’s no reason to choose Apple’s AirPods Pro 2. You’ll pay a premium over most TWS options on the market, and you’ll lose most of the AirPods Pro 2’s advantages outside of iOS – no spatial audio, no Find My support, or even automatic ear detection (seriously, Apple!? ).
These are definitely the best earbuds on the iPhone. They themselves are fine too. But the reality is that the AirPods Pro 2 are far from the best. There are better-sounding options, and of course there are better options.
