On the other hand, the new AirPods Pro sport an updated charging case design and include a lanyard loop.
AirPods Pro feature a next-generation H2 processor, which promises to deliver a great acoustic experience and cancels up to twice as much noise as the previous generation AirPods Pro. With a new low-distortion audio driver and custom amplifier, AirPods Pro can deliver richer bass and crystal-clear sound across a wider frequency range. For the first time, Apple will also offer a new additional ear tip so that more people can enjoy a better user experience on AirPods Pro.
With the Transparency mode, the user can listen to the outside world and also music or answer a call. This is convenient for crossing a road or traveling in a public transport vehicle such as a bus or metro/metro while abroad and being able to listen to upcoming destination announcements.
It also supports Spatial Audio to deliver an immersive listening experience. With this feature, users can perceive sound individually, depending on the size and shape of their head and ears.
The new AirPods Pro promises to deliver almost six hours of listening time with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) enabled, which is an hour and a half more listening time than the first iteration. And, the charging case can charge AirPods Pro four more times, which means it can last for 30 hours.
The headphones, case and retail box are produced using an eco-friendly manufacturing process and even the materials are responsibly sourced. Inside, some of the components such as the magnets are made from 100% recycled rare earth elements, for the first time – 100% recycled gold in the plating of several circuit boards.
The case also uses 100% recycled tin in the main motherboard solder and 100% recycled aluminum in the hinge. AirPods Pro are free of potentially harmful substances such as mercury, BFRs, PVC and beryllium.
Additionally, the redesigned packaging has ensured that there is no longer any need for outer plastic packaging, and 90% or more of the packaging is made from fiber-based materials. It costs Rs 26,900.
