![]() ![]() The original AirPods Pro had a paltry four and a half hours of listening time with noise canceling on, which was hardly enough to make it through a reasonable work day without having to hear your cubicle mates’ mechanical keyboards. This makes sense because Apple has moved some of the vents on these earbuds to deliver better bass.īefore I get to bigger, audio-based changes inside the AirPods Pro, the most notable change is the better battery life. ![]() Mine came fitted with medium-size silicone ear tips (there are smaller and larger pairs in the box as well), and they seemed to provide a better seal than before. A bit of key sculpting makes the second-generation a hair more comfortable and stable in my average-sized ears during workouts and longer listening sessions. These new buds are aesthetically so similar to the previous version that I had to keep checking which I was looking at when I had them both out of their cases side-by-side. One squeeze will play or pause, two squeezes will skip tracks, and a long press will activate active noise canceling or Transparency mode. The previous, squeeze-based controls are still at play here, so you don’t lose any functionality that you’re already used to. You’ll notice a slight flat spot on the side of the trunk on each bud-it's a new touch sensor that allows you to (finally!) adjust the volume via a swipe up and down. (These sensors help detect when you take the buds out of your ears to play or pause music.) Their new skin detection sensors-a replacement for the IR sensors on the old models-are the only touch of black on otherwise white buds. Pop open the magnetic clasp on the lid, and the two peanut-shaped buds stare back at you. Speaking of, you can wireless charge as usual (the case supports MagSafe too), but it's a shame to see Apple still relying on the Lightning port instead of USB-C. It also makes a little jingle when it starts charging. Need to find the case via Apple's Find My app? Now you can, and it rings quite loudly. ![]() The rounded rectangle now comes with three circular perforations on the bottom right for a new, built-in speaker. The biggest physical change over its predecessor is in the case. ![]()
