WHEN TRYING OUT VERSION 2 OF THE AIRPODS PRO, our first thought was, what is actually different? The first AirPods Pro were a positive step forward for Apple, the sound quality was good and the overall performance great when you have multiple Apple devices. What can be improved?
Well, while the design hasn’t moved on that much since the first iteration (just a new audio vent hinting at a difference) the new case has a speaker and a lanyard attachment, for both ease of finding the lost earbuds and keeping hold of them on your person. There are a few new features we enjoyed in the mix too: volume control from the stems is welcome, if fiddly to use, and the microphones have been enhanced to allow for better voice clarity as well.
