Compare AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro: What is the difference?

AirPods is the standard wireless headset of Apple mobile phone users, and the proactive noise reduction function of the PRO series and a more pure listening experience are the preferred model of high -end users.

In 2019, Apple released the first generation of AirPods Pro, which brought an active noise reduction function and transparent mode to Apple users, and a more convenient control experience.

After a lapse of three years, in September 2022, Apple launched the second generation of AirPods Pro 2 wireless headphones.

So, compared with AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro: What is the difference?

Exterior design

From the appearance, the two headphones are not much different. The earplugs are quite short and straight, and they are also touching. It can be used for music playback, summoning Siri and (only on AirPods Pro 2) to change the volume without reaching out to take your iPhone.

The earplugs also have rubber tips, which may make some people annoy, but in general, it has excellent fit and isolation than any alternative.

The new AirPods Pro 2 has four earplugs to choose from, which are super small, small, neutralized. The older AirPods Pro is only equipped with three sets of earplugs, small, medium and large.

Both AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro use a smooth plastic rectangular charging box with rounded corners. There is a LED on the front of them, a pairing button on the back, a Lightning port on the bottom, and a metal hinge.

The shell of AirPods Pro 2 also has a speaker next to the Lightning port, which is not available in the first generation. It is used to send alarm, such as insufficient battery battery, or positioning the shell when it is lost. The AirPods Pro 2 shell also has a ring for connecting to the lane, which is not the first generation.

In addition, the two groups of earplugs have IPX4 sweat -proof and waterproof function.

Sound quality, active noise reduction

According to Apple, their new H2 chip should help provides "crisp, clear treble and deep, rich and rich bass with amazing clarity, so each sound is more vivid than ever before."

As for the initial AirPods Pro, we found that it sounds good and full, but it is lacking in the bass part, but emphasizes treble.

Both AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Pro support space audio, providing exciting audio experiences for music and movies.

However, since Apple has generally improved the sound quality of its earplugs since 2019, it can be said that the new AirPods Pro 2 provides excellent sound quality, the sound quality is full, and the bass is deeper and good.

When you don't want to actively make noise reduction, the two earbuds also have a transparent mode. When you really want to hear what happens around (people's voice, urban noise, such as the car passed by), you can switch to this mode Essence

Touch control

AirPods Pro 2 and the first generation of AirPods Pro have a touch rod. You can press it to play or stop music, switch between ANC and transparent mode, or summon Siri virtual assistants.

However, the uniqueness of the new AirPods Pro 2 in all previous AirPods is that their stems also support the sliding touch gesture to change the volume.

On the initial AirPods Pro, to change the volume, you can only let Siri do it for you, or you must reach out to get your phone and use its volume key.

Battery life

In terms of battery life, the new AirPods Pro 2 has also been improved. Specifically, the first generation of AirPods Pro can reach a 24 -hour battery life with a shell. If the shell is not used, it can only reach 4.5 hours at a time. The corresponding battery life corresponding to the new AirPods Pro 2 is 30 hours and 6 hours.

price comparison

AirPods Pro is priced at 1599 yuan.

AirPods Pro 2 is priced at 1899 yuan.

Purchase suggestion

After comparison, I gave two purchasing suggestions:

1. If you can accept the price of 1899 yuan, it is better to choose AirPods Pro 2 because it provides longer battery life, better sound, stronger bass and ANC, and new volume touch gestures.

2. If your budget is only 1599 yuan, then you can choose the first generation AirPods Pro. Its sound quality and active noise reduction and functions are a little worse than the second generation, but it is stronger than the headphones of other brands. Bring you a very satisfactory listening experience.
