Bluetooth 5.3
The most important news for the new AirPods Pro 2 is that they finally have Bluetooth version 5.3. Until now, AirPods only had Bluetooth 5.0, which was limited in many cases. With this improvement, users can look forward to better sound quality and longer headphone life, thanks to support for LE Audio low energy. In addition, it is possible to connect to your device immediately, so there is no need to wait for a connection unnecessarily, as is the case today.
Charger Compatibility
Until now, we could charge the AirPods Pro both in the classic wired way or wirelessly using a classic Qi charger or via MagSafe. Of course, this still applies to the new AirPods Pro 2, but apart from that, Apple has improved it. We can now charge these headphones with the magnetic dock that we can charge the Apple Watch – so no matter what situation you find yourself in, I can say that I am 2% sure that I can easily charge the AirPods Pro 2. You may not need to have multiple wireless chargers on your desk and the Apple Watch charger will do.

Improved in-ear detection
Apple has certainly improved the sound with the new AirPods Pro, taking Active Noise Cancelling to the next level, with an adaptive penetration mode — and more. However, there are also new and improved sensors that detect when the headphones are inserted into the ear. Specifically, the new sensors can detect skin directly, so they can be instantly recognized when they are inserted into the ear. Previous generation headphones, aside from the third-generation AirPods, also had two optical sensors, which were slightly worse at detecting. With more accurate detection, users can enjoy longer battery life.
Case Improvement
The case of the new AirPods Pro 2 has seen some big changes this year, although it may not seem like it at first glance. In particular, you can expect the possibility of attaching a lanyard to the case. It should be noted that the lanyard is not part of the package, as some users may have thought after the presentation. In addition, most of the new cases will have built-in speakers, which are used to search via Find. This means that we will finally be able to find the AirPods Pro 2 even when both headphones are closed in the case, which was impossible until now. Not only for this reason, but the case is also 11% heavier than the previous model, from 45.6 grams to 50.8 grams. The headphones themselves weigh exactly the same.
Additional attachments
AirPods Pro are plug-in headphones, and to get the best fit in your ears, you’ll need to choose the right connectors: the plugs. Each ear is different, for example. Apple doesn’t reach for a one-size-fits-all approach. While the first generation AirPods Pro came with three attachment sizes in the package: small, medium, and large (S, M, L), the second generation has expanded the attachments to four sizes. There are still small, medium, and large, but with the addition of an extra-small size, you can now choose XS, S, M, and L. Many users complained that all the original eartips were large, so Apple, having heard their pleas, came up with the XS size.
