AirPods Pro 2 USB-C at an unbeatable price
While the latest Apple earbuds may look identical to the previous generation, this generation offers a USB-C port, improved sound quality thanks to a unique H2 chip coupled with new algorithms and speakers.
Adaptive Transparency (which reduces disturbing sounds when Transparency mode is activated) is included, active ambient noise cancellation (ANC) has also been enhanced, and it will be possible to establish a personalized listening profile (for these AirPods Pro 2 as well as Gen1, AirPods Gen3, Beats Fit Pro, and AirPods Max, with an iPhone equipped with Face ID and iOS 16) by analyzing the shape of the user’s ears using an iPhone camera.

More effective ANC, Adaptive Transparency, and improved sound quality
The AirPods Pro Gen2 come with XS-sized tips to fit a wide range of users and will offer a battery life of 6 hours with ANC (a 33% increase from the previous generation), extended to 30 hours via the charging case. Conveniently, it will be possible to slide your finger on the stem to manage the volume of the earbuds, a feature many users have requested.
The UWB U1 chip is also included for easier location of the earbuds (each emitting a different sound) via the Find My app. The case offers a side attachment for hooking a strap, as well as MagSafe and wireless charging (including through the Apple Watch’s magnetic puck). Finally, the AirPods Pro 2 USB-C are the only AirPods in the lineup compatible with the main new features of iOS 18 and also offer reduced latency and lossless audio when connected to the Vision Pro.
