The AirPods Pro 2 will feature Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
It also features Transparency Mode which allows users to hear noises in the background while using their AirPods Pro. This comes in handy if you find yourself listening to loud music while walking in the city. With the Transparency Mode on, important sounds like an ambulance or police car siren can be heard allowing you to move out of the way of a fast-moving vehicle. The new version should continue to include ANC and Transparency Mode.
Apple is expected to introduce the AirPods Pro 2 on September 7th
We should see a big jump in battery life with the new model since the original AirPods Pro offers more than 24 hours of listening time and 18 hours of talk time with multiple charges for the carrying case. With the AirPods 3, total battery use (including the carrying case) exceeds 30 hours. Why should you pay more for lower battery life? This is why Apple will no doubt be telling us on Wednesday about a big jump in the capabilities of the battery for the AirPods Pro 2.
The sequel to the AirPods Pro could be priced at $249
While you can find the currently available AirPods Pro priced at under $200 online, we could see Apple price the sequel at the same $249 that the OG model originally cost. Besides increased battery life, Apple will replace the H1 chip with one codenamed B698 to improve the experience of using the device.
There had been some speculation that the AirPods Pro 2 might carry some health-related features but that rumor has been shot down. While Apple did test out the use of such sensors on the wearable, it appears that this is something that might be reserved for future versions of the device.
