Spatial Audio experience
The main characteristic that set the AirPods Pro apart from other in-ear headphones on the market was its special sound processing technology. According to Apple, the H2 processor within the earphones powers additional functions including noise cancellation that is twice as effective as the original AirPods Pro.
A new low-distortion audio driver and what Apple refers to as a bespoke amplifier are also included, according to the firm, allowing customers to hear a fuller audio spectrum.
In addition to the Transparency Mode that let users be aware of the world around them while enjoying music, a new Adaptive Transparency Mode further improves the feature and Apple claims that the new AirPods Pro can better drown out sounds like a passing vehicle siren, construction tools and loud speakers.
Better battery life
In comparison to the AirPods Pro, the AirPods Pro 2's earbuds have a battery life of approximately 6 hours (5.5 hours with Spatial Audio and Head Tracking enabled) and 4.5 hours of talk time. The AirPods Pro's battery life was approximately 4.5 hours (5 hours with ANC and transparency off) and 3.5 hours, respectively. The AirPods Pro only provided 24 hours of listening time and around 18 hours of conversation time, however the charging case may aid you with 30 hours of listening time and 24 hours of speaking time.
Affordability
