**The New Features of Apple's AirPods Pro 2**
As we take a look at the top new features of Apple's second generation AirPods Pro, it's clear that there are several exciting updates that set them apart from their predecessors. The first new feature is part of the redesign case, which now includes a lanyard anchor on the side. This allows users to attach any lanyard or Carabiner of their choice to always have their AirPods Pro nearby. Whether you clip them onto the side of your bag, a belt loop, or anything else, this feature provides added convenience and flexibility.
Another significant update is the new extra small size for the ear tips, which is included in the box with the AirPods Pro 2. This allows more people to find that perfect fit on the second generation noise-canceling earbuds. While users can still try to fit them with their original AirPods Pro, Apple says technically they don't fit, and we tried them and they seem to work just fine.
**Improved Volume Control**
For the first time, users can control the volume of their AirPods Pro from within the earbuds themselves. No longer do they need to use their Apple Watch or iPhone; simply running their finger up or down the little stems increases or decreases the volume. This feature also includes controls for changing different ANC modes and playing/pausing playback.
**Enhanced Noise Cancellation**
Apple has improved the noise cancellation capabilities of the second generation AirPods Pro, thanks in part to a new driver and the H2 chip. The company promises up to twice as good noise cancellation on the new earbuds, which is a significant improvement over the previous generation. With this enhanced ANC, users can enjoy quieter audio and less background noise.
**Precision Find My**
The AirPods Pro 2 also feature Apple's Precision find my abilities, which have been built into the charging case. The U1 chip included in the Magsafe charging case allows for more precise tracking of the earbuds using the Find My app. When tracking them down, users can even use the speaker to make a noise and not just the earbuds themselves.
**Longer Battery Life**
One of the most significant updates is the improved battery life, which promises up to six hours on a single charge. This is a substantial increase over the previous generation, which was only getting about four and a half hours with ANC turned off. Any improvements in battery life are definitely welcomed by users.
**Adaptive Transparency Mode**
Transparency mode has been a hallmark of AirPods Pro since they launched, allowing users to hear their surroundings while still maintaining some level of noise cancellation. The new AirPods Pro 2 take this feature to the next level with adaptive transparency mode, which decreases the volume of loud external noises like power tools, sirens, or trains. This allows users to still hear what's going on around them but without being blasted by extremely loud noises.
**The H2 Chip**
At the heart of the AirPods Pro 2 is Apple's custom H2 silicon, which powers improved battery life, better spatial audio, and enhanced noise cancellation. The chip also communicates over Bluetooth 5.3 instead of Bluetooth 5.0. This upgrade provides faster data transfer rates and more reliable connectivity.
**Improved Microphone**
Apple has redesigned the inward-facing microphone to improve voice recognition and articulation. This combined with voice enhancement algorithms ensures that users receive more natural-sounding tones when making phone calls or taking video calls.
**Enhanced Charging**
The AirPods Pro 2 also feature improved charging capabilities, including Lightning Qi and Magsafe charging. But what's new is the ability to charge them using a standard Apple Watch charging puck simply by placing it down on the puck. This means users don't need to bring a dedicated charger if they have one for their Apple watch.
**Improved Skin Detection Sensor**
The AirPods Pro 2 also feature an improved skin detection sensor, which was first introduced with the third generation of AirPods. This sensor tells the earbuds when to play or pause music based on whether they're in the user's ears, eliminating finicky behavior that could get triggered by accidentally putting them in a pocket.
**Emoji Customization**
Finally, users can customize their AirPods Pro 2 with letters or different Emoji characters. When pairing the earbuds with an iPhone, the user will see the little animation come on screen and it will even match the Emoji or characters that they've put on their customized AirPods Pro case. This is a cool feature that shows off Apple's attention to detail and commitment to user customization.
