Apple on Wednesday held its much-awaited tech event of the year, 'Far Out' launch, where it unveiled brand new products including the iPhone of the year and the new AirPods Pro 2022.
The AirPods Pro Gen-2 (2022), the long-awaited successor to the AirPods Pro is finally here and it comes packed with interesting features and hardware changes that will take the music listening experience to a whole new level.
The 2nd generation Airpods Pro is priced at Rs 26,900 in India. Before you set your heart on the new AirPods Pro from Apple, here’s all you need to know.
The Design While the 2nd generation AirPods Pro flaunts similar design as its predecessor, Apple has brought subtle but key changes to hardware. The AirPods Pro 2022’s redesigned inward-facing microphone works well with voice enhancement algorithms which recognises and articulates your voice better.
The news design of AirPods Pro packs four pairs of silicone tips that are included to fit a wider range of ears. The tips create an acoustic seal that closes in the sound — and secure AirPods Pro in place.

The New H2 Chip The brand new AirPods Pro comes with Apple’s new chip, H2, which is the force behind the device’s advanced audio performance. According to Apple, the new H2 chip carries out more functions than before using computational algorithms to deliver smarter noise cancellation, superior three-dimensional sound and more efficient battery life — all at once.
2x More Noise Cancellation Apple’s brand new earphones feature up to two times more noise cancellation than their predecessor. The tech giant called it the “Marvel of modern silence” as it claimed that the new AirPods Pro will let you listen to music in peace. There are noise-cancelling microphones and a rear vent optimally placed to quickly detect sound coming in and then working together to counter noise before it reaches your ear.
Take Control With 'Touch Control' The AirPods Pro 2022 offers smooth touch control which lets you easily manage playback functions from the stem. You can simply swipe up or down to adjust volume, press to play and pause music or answer and end calls. You can hold the touch panel to switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Transparency.
