During the latest Apple launch event, Apple introduced new products, including the second-generation AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with a USB-C charging case and wired EarPods featuring a USB-C connector.
The second-generation AirPods Pro come with a MagSafe Case that uses a USB-C port, a built-in speaker, and a wired option for added convenience. Powered by the Apple H2 headphone chip and the Apple U1 chip in the MagSafe USB-C Charging Case, these AirPods Pro offer touch and voice command controls.
With Bluetooth 5.3 and Adaptive EQ, they are equipped with two microphones designed for superior voice quality during phone calls. Notably, these new AirPods Pro support Personalized Spatial Audio, delivering an immersive sound experience from various directions.
Furthermore, they provide support for Lossless Audio with ultra-low latency for Apple Vision Pro. The combination of the H2 chip in the latest AirPods Pro and Apple Vision Pro, along with a wireless audio protocol, enables 20-bit, 48 kHz Lossless Audio with significantly reduced audio latency.
Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode allow users to customize their audio experience by controlling the level of external noise they hear.
