AirPods Pro 2, or the second generation of AirPods Pro, has transferred all the features of Apple’s first wireless noise canceling headphones to its next generation. Apple has claimed that this new product offers more powerful noise canceling than the first generation. In the audio section, this company has added a new custom amplifier and driver to this headphone, which separates the bass and bass sounds to the ears of the users. You can also use the iPhone’s TrueDepth camera to create personalized spatial audio.

The battery life of this product has been slightly longer than the first generation, and the charging case has also been improved by being water resistant and equipped with an internal speaker that will help you find it if it is lost. In general, it can be said that AirPods Pro 2 will definitely be the first choice of iPhone users to buy a wonderful and full-featured wireless headphone. Apple AirPods Pro 2 is available from Digikala online store.

Airpod Pro 2 design

At first glance, it is a bit difficult to distinguish between the first and second generation of Apple AirPods Pro, and this means that these two products are very similar in terms of design. The main difference between the two wireless headphones is the speaker on the AirPods Pro 2 charging case, which you’ll see every time you look at the charging case, along with a new hook for installing a short strap. Although these items are not part of the AirPods Pro 2 redesign, they will help you distinguish between the first and second generation AirPods Pro.

Additionally, you won’t notice much of a difference in weight or size when holding these two wireless headphones. The AirPods Pro measures 1.2 x 0.9 x 0.9 inches, while the new AirPods Pro 2 measures 1.22 x 0.86 x 0.94 inches. Although the numbers are slightly different, there is no noticeable difference. In terms of weight, the new AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro 2 are about 10.8 grams. If you put them in your ears, you won’t feel any difference.

But the fundamental change of these products is related to the headphones themselves and the hardware inside them. In AirPods Pro 2, Apple has used a new skin detection sensor instead of proximity sensor to automatically detect facial skin and activate the wireless headphones. These headphones provide a significant improvement compared to the original AirPods and are suitable for a variety of users with different series.

Sound insulation is done well inside this headphone and you will not hear much noise from outside while using it. Inside the earbuds are two new pieces of hardware: the advanced H2 wireless chip and the driver amplifier. In the performance review section of this headphone, we will mention more details in this regard. Overall, while the design of the AirPods Pro 2 isn’t too different from the AirPods Pro, there are a number of subtle improvements both inside and out that set the two apart.

There are four silicone tips in the box, including the slightly smaller XS size, so you have more options to get the perfect size for the seal. If you’ve had problems with the size of your AirPods before, the extra silicone tip can help. To ensure the best sound quality, we recommend doing a fit test for the silicone eartip – we found a good seal with more than one size of silicone eartip. Also, thanks to the light design, these AirPods fit comfortably in the ear and you don’t need to force them into the ear.

Airpod Pro 2 convenience

One of the factors that can lead users to buy AirPods Pro 2 is the ease of use, which makes these headphones superior compared to AirPods 2. The reason for the ease of use of AirPods Pro 2 is the silicone series, which offer more comfort to users’ ears compared to the plastic and dry series used in Apple AirPods. In fact, the silicone series gently adapts to the ear canal and does not need to be pressed to fit inside the ear.

This factor also makes you able to use these wireless headphones for a longer period of time during the day without any problems. But if you use these headphones while doing heavy sports activities such as running, you may feel that the earbuds are coming out of your ears, so it is not recommended to use it for doing such sports. But it is very suitable for use in the gym.

In general, it can be said that these headphones in the phone usually bother your ears after a few hours of use. However, AirPods Pro 2 is a little more comfortable than its predecessor and brings less fatigue to your ears.

Setting up

If you are an iPhone user, we should mention that setting up and connecting AirPods Pro 2 to the phone is a very simple process. In fact, all you need to do is hold the AirPods Pro 2 near your iPhone and then confirm the message that appears. The interesting thing is that the image of the headphones displayed on your phone exactly matches your headphones.

AirPods Pro 2 has always been very easy to use. Apple has performed excellently in improving the perfect use of its devices, especially in the IOS operating system, in every generation. It is also evident here that in the tests the synchronization with our iPhone 12 was done quickly. Sound playback is smart and when you remove a headphone from your ear, playback stops temporarily and resumes when you put it back in your ear. All these functions run smoothly without requiring the user’s attention.

In addition, a special section for AirPods has been added in the iPhone settings menu, which provides faster access (instead of going to the Bluetooth section), where you can customize Siri voice control settings, Spatial Audio , adjustable transparency and touch control settings to your order.

 

 

Apple Spatial Sound is reimagined with dynamic head tracking, creating an immersive, 360-degree listening experience when listening to music or watching videos. As always, some parts perform better than others, and overall, we still prefer the original stereo mix with more stability and harmony. Now you can also customize the spatial sound according to your profile to experience this feature more precisely. This process involves using your iPhone’s camera to take pictures of your ears; But we encountered difficulties in doing so. The process is a bit cumbersome and annoying, and hopefully Apple can simplify it in an update.

Unfortunately, Android users won’t have access to any of these extra features, and there’s still no Android-specific app (like Apple-owned Beats has for its Fit Pro phones) for AirPods. Big tech companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google lock the best features of their products into their own systems and offer exclusive perks to users who stay on those systems. Although this makes brands outside of these systems, such as Sony and Bose, more attractive, the AirPods Pro 2 are still worth checking out regardless of what device you’re using because they offer excellent sound quality.

Siri capabilities in AirPods Pro 2

Apple’s H2 AirPods Pro 2 chip plays an important role in implementing Siri’s advanced features in this wireless headphone. For example, notifications are read to you by Siri when using the AirPods Pro 2, which is great. With the help of AirPods Pro 2, Siri plays its role as an advanced voice assistant in the best possible way.

All the Siri features that are available in the first generation of AirPods Pro are also available in this generation. Also, users will allow more accurate tracking to this wireless headphone by activating the Find My option.

Noise canceling AirPods Pro 2

When you are listening to music in the active noise canceling mode, this function has a very good performance and can cancel up to 95% of the noise in the surrounding environment. For example, if someone talks to you in this situation, you will not be able to properly understand what he is saying, and you will not be able to hear the whispers of people in the workplace.

But if the headphones’ noise canceling mode is active and no music is playing, some ambient sounds will be weakly heard and you may even hear the hissing sound of the headphones trying to cancel out the ambient noise. Apple claims that AirPods Pro 2 offers much better noise canceling than AirPods Pro, and the tests confirm this.

Airpod Pro 2 sound quality

As expected, Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 are one of the best wireless headphones on the market in terms of sound quality, and Dolby Atmos technology makes listening to music simply a three-dimensional experience. Regarding the sound separation, we should mention that although the sound of all the instruments is not fully heard in the headphones, its performance is very good and the sound has a very good clarity.

In the tests carried out on AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro, it was found that the second generation of these wireless headphones offers better bass, but it is not so significant that you leave the old generation just for the amplifier of the second generation. We should also mention that this new product does not support true lossless technology.

battery life

While the support of true lossless sound technology could not be included in the list of improvements of this wireless headphone, we can include the longevity and charging of AirPods Pro 2 in this list. Now, instead of 4 hours, this wireless headphone can last up to 6 hours in sound playback mode, and these figures reach 30 hours instead of 24 hours using the charging case.

In the tests performed on this product, these numbers were confirmed. The strange thing that can be mentioned in this case is that the LED indicator turns yellow only when charging. Also, the LED on the case lights up for about 15 seconds and then turns off. It takes two hours to fully charge the charging case of this product.

One of the new features of the redesigned Mag Safe charging case for AirPods 2 Pro is that it can now be charged by the Apple Watch charger and produce a sound when charging begins. This is a minor change and some users still prefer to see the yellow LED on the case when charging.

Call quality

In terms of call quality, Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 were expected to see improvements over the previous generation, but apparently that’s not the case. When making calls using these wireless headphones, the quality of the transmitted sound is not very good, and users prefer to use the phone’s speaker instead of using headphones.

The reason we don’t see much change in the call quality department is that Apple hasn’t changed the microphones of its new headphones. Although the H2 chip may be able to improve the audio processing process a bit, as well as remove more background noise, the AirPods also have limitations in the microphone department as far as actual audio clarity is concerned.

Of course, this does not mean that the AirPods Pro 2 will give you bad call quality, but Apple could have made improvements in this area compared to its predecessor.

Is it reasonable to buy Apple AirPods Pro 2?

At the end of the AirPods Pro 2 review, it can be said that in general, if you are an Apple AirPods Pro user, you don’t need to pay a lot of money to buy the second generation of AirPods Pro; Because these two products are not much different from each other. But this wireless headphone can be a very good purchase option for users who have not had the experience of using AirPods Pro. Battery life and longer charging, new and advanced features, improved noise canceling are among the many features of this headphone that have greatly increased the value of its purchase.
