At the launch of the iPhone 14, Apple also announced the new AirPods Pro 2 in-ear headphones. According to the manufacturer, the noise suppression should have been improved.

The AirPods are a bestseller worldwide, so that headphones are no longer included with all new iPhones, because Apple prefers to sell AirPods. The company also presented new in-ear headphones to go with the four new iPhone 14 models. According to the manufacturer, the AirPods Pro 2 especially the active noise cancellation has been improved.

Custom 3D audio and new charging case

Inside is the new H2 chip, which is supposed to make the improved ANC possible. Supposedly, noise is suppressed twice as effectively as with the first generation of AirPods. In addition, new audio drivers should ensure a richer bass. To enable a better fit, Apple supplies a new, extra small ear tip. A total of four different sizes of ear tips are now included. A swiping movement is now sufficient to control the volume. Adaptive Transparency mode uses AI processing to automatically filter out loud ambient noise. In this way, wearers should still be able to perceive their surroundings, just without background noise. There’s 3D audio associated with select apps, with a battery life of 5.5 hours. If you have an iPhone with an AR camera, such as an iPhone 13 Pro, you can create a personalized 3D audio profile. The spatial sound should be reproduced individually in connection with other Apple devices. If you do without the three-dimensional sound, up to six hours of playback including ANC are possible. Compared to the first iteration, Apple has increased the runtime by 90 minutes.

In order to supply the new AirPods Pro 2 with power, the charging case can also be charged wirelessly with an Apple Watch power supply, a Lightning cable or a Qi charging station. What is new is that the charging case has a louder speaker that can play sounds. Apple has redesigned the portable charging station and certified it to IPX4 against dust and sweat. If you want, you can also get the charging case with an emoji. The in-ear headphones can be pre-ordered from September 9th at a price of 299 euros. At the same time, you can also reserve the iPhone 14.
