It’s time to look at the design around the AirPods Pro 2nd generation. The charging case of this model is still the same size as its predecessor. Comes in a horizontally curved shape, easy to carry. At the front, there is an LED light for indicating the status of the battery as usual. Called looking at the front, nothing has changed at all.
But if we turn to look at the right side of the charging case, we will see a slightly different point, which is that there is an additional silver lanyard hole, allowing us to attach the cable without any accessories. Yes, anyone who likes to carry AirPods naked. There is an additional channel to add to it. You can find something to wear.
And another point that has changed from the previous model is the bottom of the charging case, this time with a little speaker added at the bottom. Can sound when we charge the battery or make a sound when looking for it through the Find My app as well. Anyone who likes to find AirPods can’t find a speaker to help add sound like this should be easier to find.
The back of the charging case also has a button for Reconnect as usual, in case we want to pair with another device, just press and hold this button.
Headphones are the same. but with more microphones

But if you look carefully at the top of the headphones, there is another black bar that is a microphone added. for a better noise cancellation system
The headphones also come in an In-Ear shape that provides a snug and tight fit when worn as usual. But this time add an EarTip size XS. Anyone who has ever worn it too tight, does not fit, believes that the new size should fit more.
Overall, the design of the AirPods Pro 2nd generation is not much different from the first model. But adjusting some points to be better than before, including charging cases with straps or a speaker on the charging case to deliver more notification sounds Personally, the headphones themselves are still comfortable to wear and firmly in the way they should be, as always.

Connecting is as easy as any other device in the Apple Ecosystem. Just open the charging case and bring it near your iPhone, iPad or Mac, and a pop-up will appear for you to connect immediately for the first time. And after connecting, the next time, just open the cover of the charging case, it will connect with the battery status of AirPods displayed on the screen immediately.
More control
As for the controls, the AirPods Pro 2nd generation can still be operated via squeezing the earbud area as before. There are roughly the following commands:
- squeeze 1 timeto play, pause, or answer a phone call
- 2 squeezesto skip ahead
- squeeze 3 timesto skip backwards
- squeeze and holdto switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Transparency mode.
And in addition to squeezing, this round, AirPods Pro 2nd generation also adds a scrolling pattern – down to adjust the volume as well. This allows us to control the work more comprehensively. without having to go through an iPhone or Mac anyway
The new H2 chip cuts out noise very well.
The 2nd generation AirPods Pro come with a new chip, H2, that helps with more Active Noise Cancellation, which Apple claims is up to 2x better than its predecessor. Together, combined with the newly added microphone, it allows us to hear the sound clearly. Cuts out outside noise significantly better.
As much as we try to use it, really like it. The general atmosphere like a coffee shop is called complete silence, enjoying music or various content to the fullest. Or is it when traveling on the train, it doesn’t have too much noise. Calling it a noise attack, this is really worth talking about. Excellent!
Spatial Audio is better positioned.
Another feature that the 2nd generation AirPods Pro can do better is To enhance the personalized listening experience with Spatial Audio, or the location-based audio system that around this we can set using Face ID on the iPhone, it helps to dynamically determine the head tracking position so that when we use the Head Tracking feature, it will be more accurate. even more
It allows us to be more immersed in the surrounding sound reverie. Whether it’s listening to music or watching movies, it will be more enjoyable. The sound comes from a 3D surround, as if we were in a movie theater with a quality sound system.
Excellent sound quality, pro level

Personally, the charging case itself can be charged back to the headphones a lot, a total of 30 hours when the battery is fully charged, will be used for general use while traveling if you think about listening to it for 5 hours a day. It’s been a week As for the charging port of the 2nd generation AirPods Pro, this is still Lightning. Anyone who is already using it with an iPhone is probably not a big problem because they can use the same charger. Or if there is a MagSafe charger, you can paste it and charge it as well.
