Apple Announces New AirPods Pro With H2 Chip for Up to 2x Noise Cancellation and More

Did they forget to mention how much they were?

No, you just forgot to pay attention

Didn't say lossless audio out loud, so I assume that's a no - which was the only real reason to buy. Guess I'll pass.

Can’t believe they didn’t add it

Integrated lanyard hole is a simple but big qol improvement. With my current AirPods Pros, I bought a lightning port clip to keep it from falling out of my pockets.

Not emphasizing call quality seems weird, considering it's genuinely the only best-in-class class aspect over APPs vs the competition. Using the watch charger is cool. Otherwise I'm not really seeing much worthy over the upgrade (or getting any use over my existing APPs or Sony). It seems like the real world reviews will be key to sell the new features.

Still with a Lightning port… unbelievable 😡

Yup, I'll wait for the usb-c version.

Swipe volume control is feature I’ve been wanting.

 

[Supercyborgninja]

Wingtips would've been so great

I agree. Use mine all day for phone calls and you think there would be some mention of an improvement. Not everything is always music Apple.

But Hey you can use mag safe and Apple Watch now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I gave up waiting for the new AirPods and switched to the Beats Fit Pro. No stem, less noticeable colors, same integration with Apple hardware, comparable sound and they cost less.

 

[thebucket]

Are these available in other colors than white?

 

[sofarso]

Wonder if they have fixed the issue lots of people have had with skin itching etc. I seem to be getting it with beat studio buds as well.

Do any of you know what time do preorders typically open?

 

[slplss]

I hoped they’d talk more about accessibity features, the current Pros work great as a hearing aid, but there’s always room for improvement.

 

[LeeW]

No, you just forgot to pay attention

Get back in your box.

 

[ScooterComputer]

Hmmmm… no mention of taking advantage of the FDA's recent decision to allow low- to moderate- hearing loss hearing aids over-the-counter, without a prescription. That's unfortunate for hearing impaired buyers like myself, who have been waiting for it.

 

[Maclurker26]

So pretty much just volume touch control lol… and I thought this was going be a expensive fall for me 😅.

Why do you care as long as you can charge them?

 

[mikeymike88]

Hopefully they improved the microphone quality for calls, but no mention of it. Blah

 

[JGIGS]

Still with a Lightning port… unbelievable 😡

Disappointing, but unless the iphone moves to USB C you need to carry one of those cables around with your anyway. Unless you're an android phone user.

Lately it’s been 8am eastern. Hopefully it stays that way

 

[nfl46]

Nice. I'll likely upgrade. $249 seems like norm. I wish we could trade in our Pro 1 for a discount, though.

 

[Herrpod]

Lightning and the same idiotic design. No thanks. Beats with built in wing tips are superior.

 

[ndouglas]

Wait how does volume control work?

Is call quality allegedly better? They have a LONG way to go in that regard.

 

[Gix1k]

Better ANC, better battery, volume control, I’m in!

Exactly my thoughts. Won’t be updating from Series 7 to 8, but definitely buying these.
