Overview

• Reviewers report deeper, more defined bass, clearer highs and a wider soundstage, while noting the overall sound remains familiar.
• New foam‑infused eartips improve seal and fit, which supports the noticeable step up in active noise cancellation.
• Per‑ear battery rises to up to 8 hours with ANC or 10 hours in Transparency Mode, but total listening from the case falls to 24 hours from 30 on Pro 2.
• The charging case adds Apple’s U2 ultra‑wideband chip for longer‑range, directional Find My tracking, and the set carries an IP57 dust and water rating.
• A built‑in photoplethysmography sensor provides ear‑based heart‑rate readings, and pricing lands at $249 with AirPods Pro 2 seen discounted to about $199.
