AirPods Pro are getting a new generation of enhancements
Apple have announced that their AirPods are getting an upgrade, with AirPods Pro announced, delivering new upgrades to Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode.
“AirPods revolutionised the wireless headphone category with an innovative design and incredible sound quality. With the new AirPods Pro, Apple raises the bar once again,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The new AirPods Pro deliver even better sound quality, a more immersive listening experience with Personalised Spatial Audio and transformative audio features like Adaptive Transparency. With up to double the noise-cancelling power of their predecessor, the world’s bestselling wireless headphones just got even better.”
One of the best additions is that the new AirPods Pro come with a new extra small ear tip is included so even more people can experience the magic of AirPods Pro, no word on if they will sell them on their own for existing users.
On the audio side of things, with a new low-distortion audio driver and custom amplifier, AirPods Pro now offer richer bass and crystal-clear sound across a wider range of frequencies. Combine that with Personalised Spatial Audio, and the AirPods listening experience becomes even more immersive. Users perceive sound individually, based on the size and shape of their head and ears. Using the TrueDepth camera on iPhone, users can create a personal profile for Spatial Audio that delivers a listening experience precisely tuned just for them.
As for the length of the battery, AirPods Pro offer 1.5 hours of additional listening time over the first generation, for a total of up to six hours with Active Noise Cancellation. Using the case for four additional charges, users can enjoy up to 30 hours of total listening time with Active Noise Cancellation — a full six hours more than the previous generation
