The new set comes with its own charging case like its predecessor, but the design has been completely changed.
The buds now come in three different sizes and boast flexible silicone ear tips that conform to the contours of each individual ear – Apple noted that this design is ‘a critical factor in delivering immersive sound’.
To add even more comfort, AirPods Pro were built with a ventilation system, that equalizes pressure to minimize the discomfort common in other in-ear designs.
And they are also sweat- and water-resistant.
There are two microphones on the buds that work with advanced software to continuously adapt to each individual ear and headphone fit.
‘This removes background noise to provide a uniquely customized, superior noise-canceling experience that allows a user to focus on what they’re listening to — whether it’s a favorite song or a phone conversation,’ according to Apple.
The first one, analyzes sound around the wearer and the earbuds are able to create an equivalent anti-noise that cancels out background noise before it reaches the listener’s ear.
A second inward-facing microphone listens toward the ear, and AirPods Pro cancel remaining noise detected by the microphone.
The new set comes with its own charging case like its predecessor, but the design has been completely changed.
And noise cancellation continuously adapts the sound signal 200 times per second.
AiPods Pro can also amplify sound to produce ‘pure, incredibly clear sound while also extending battery life, and powers a custom high-excursion, low-distortion speaker driver designed to optimize audio quality and remove background noise,’ explained Apple.
There is also a transparency mode that lets you listen to music, podcasts or shows, but still hear the world around you.
Users can get about 4.5 hours of continuous play with the new earbuds and through additional charges from the Wireless Charging Case, AirPods Pro deliver over 24 hours of listening time or over 18 hours of talk time.
