What the new AirPods bring
The new AirPods Pro come with the new H2 chip for breakthrough audio performance. The new chip offers major improvements in Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes.
It also gives users a unique experience with more immersive spatial sound while on the go.
Users also have touch controls that allow for media playback and volume adjustments.
Some of the new AirPod Pro additions include longer battery life, an all-new charging case, and an extra tip size for a better fit.
Internal features
The new AirPod Pro is equipped with a lightweight and compact body powered by the H2 chip, providing a unique acoustic experience and twice the noise cancellation.
It also comes with a new low-distortion audio driver and a custom amplifier that deliver richer bass and crystal-clear sound across a range of frequencies.
The new AirPods offer comfort with an in-ear fit and an extra-small ear tip.
Despite the noise-cancelling feature, it has a transparency mode with adaptive transparency that keeps users connected and aware of the outside world.
With the H2 chip, users also get on-device processing that reduces loud ambient noise for comfortable everyday listening.
Users also no longer need to turn to their devices to change their volume as touch controls.
They can talk to Siri or slide the stem slightly for quick volume adjustments.
