On October 30, 2019, Apple released the AirPods Pro, and perhaps you remember the scene when this product was first launched: no one can stop it, sweeping the army
It went on sale at the end of October, but it could not be used as a Christmas gift, and the delivery cycle once took more than 60 days
Apple estimated that it did not expect this, and later asked the foundry to double its production capacity
There was widespread rumor that Apple would launch the second-generation AirPods Pro at last fall's conference, and the result was the third-generation AirPods
The experience of spatial audio is indeed good, but it is not as surprising as the noise reduction and sealing god of the year, and the upgrade is not much and sells so expensive, and the result is flat compared with the previous generations of product sales
This fall, the AirPods Pro 2 will arrive as scheduled
Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingji recently said on Twitter that Apple plans to release AirPods Pro 2 wireless headphones in the second half of 2022
In this iteration, the new AirPods Pro is expected to bring the following upgrades
chip
From the AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro in 2019 to the AirPods 3 in 2021, Apple's headphones are equipped with H1 chips
The AirPods Pro 2 is expected to be powered by an H2 chip, which will reduce power consumption and lead to longer battery life
At the same time, transmission stability and efficiency will be improved, and the delay will be lower
appearance
The AirPods 3 headphone handle design is shorter than the previous two generations, and the AirPods Pro 2 is expected to go one step further, directly removing the long handle, leaving only the headphone head, which will look more like beats Studio Buds
Noise reduction
A few years have passed, the depth of noise reduction, noise reduction bandwidth coverage, ear pressure and other aspects, AirPods Pro is still the leader in TWS noise reduction headphones, the naturalness of the transparency mode and the actual use experience, still top-notch
So it's hard to get the AirPods Pro 2 to make a big improvement in these areas
Headphone case
The anti-loss ability has been enhanced, and the box has added an active voice function to make it easier for users to find their Own AirPods
Health monitoring function
The outside world has predicted that AirPods Pro 2 will use motion sensors to achieve health management functions, but how to achieve it, and how to cooperate with Apple Watch, it is not clear, personal judgment this function of the second generation will not be on
quality
Currently, the AirPods family of headphones, including the AirPods Max, do not support playback lossless audio formats
Because these headphones are transmitted using Bluetooth, they are limited by AAC encoding and cannot handle encoding files for lossless music
Foreign media predicted that the AirPods Pro 2 may support apple lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) lossless audio format
That sounds like another killer feature
But to be honest, the sound quality of this thing, or more mysterious, many people actually can not clearly perceive the difference
For now, the AirPods Pro, born in 2019, is a near-perfect TWS noise-canceling headset, and it is very difficult to upgrade such a product
Personally, I wanted it to optimize the wearing experience and use better earbud materials
As TWS, the wearing comfort of AirPods 2 can be said to be the best, there is no one, it depends on whether AirPods Pro 2 can further optimize the experience of in-ear wearing, so that people with sensitive ears will not feel strange in a short period of time
