Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro refine almost every aspect of the original, with better sound, more powerful ANC, and the addition of a USB-C port for modern convenience. The design remains nearly identical, which is no bad thing—comfortable, discreet, and highly pocketable.
The updated H2 chip powers enhanced ANC and Adaptive Transparency, which automatically adjusts noise levels in real-time. Sound quality is now richer, especially in the lows and mids. Spatial Audio is immersive and works beautifully with supported Apple Music content and iOS devices.
Battery life hits a solid 6 hours with ANC on (30 hours with the case), and the new case supports Precision Finding with the U1 chip, making it a breeze to locate. USB-C also simplifies charging across Apple’s ecosystem, especially with the shift away from Lightning.
The seamless integration with Apple devices, touch controls on the stem, and improvements to voice isolation make this a near-perfect choice for iPhone users. But Android users still miss out on many features, including Spatial Audio customization and automatic switching.
Score: 9/10
