Not much has changed aesthetically from the previous version of the AirPods Pro, with the new model sporting the same pearl exterior as the original 2019 model. The noise-canceling headphones also retain the MagSafe-compatible charging case that Apple introduced last year. But Apple has made some interesting changes to the hardware that make the second-generation AirPods Pro the company’s most impressive headphones to date. Starting with battery life, Apple claims the new AirPods Pro can support up to six hours of continuous playback with noise cancellation enabled, or an additional 30 with the included charging case. The 2022 model also includes an updated H2 chip, which enables an improved adaptive transparency function, better noise cancellation, and slide controls on the stems to control playback. Both the headphones and Apple’s new Find My-ready charging case are also equipped with built-in speakers to let you know where they are if you’ve misplaced them. We haven’t had a chance to fully go through Apple’s new AirPods Pro, but you can check out our initial hands-on impressions of the new headphones here.
