Nearly three years after the release of the first generation, AirPods Pro 2 has arrived in everyone's hands one after another. Many people have noticed that the second-generation AirPods Pro has added a pair of ultra-small earbuds.
Have you ever wondered why Apple puts some thoughts on earbuds? This little thought not only cost Apple, but also gave an explanation. The right-sized earbuds can get a better noise reduction experience, and the music will also have a full bass effect. It sounds a bit metaphysical.
Apple also said that the earbuds of the AirPods Pro series are designed based on the corresponding products. The earbuds of the first generation AirPods Pro have a denser mesh. If used on AirPods Pro 2, it may cause some acoustic differences. Simply put, the two generations of earbuds are not compatible.
The first and second generation earbuds are purchased separately for 59 yuan. It seems that Apple does not intend to "grab" the money in a different way this time.
However, it should be noted that although Apple said that the two generations of earbuds are incompatible, in fact, the structure at the connection between the two generations of earbuds is completely consistent, which means that they are still compatible in a physical sense.
Therefore, if earplugs are lost, users can theoretically still use the earplugs of the first generation AirPods Pro to respond to emergency response.
Of course, if you lose the newly added XS earbuds, you can really choose to buy another one.
In addition, today Mingmei Infinity is worth mentioning that Apple has pushed the first firmware update for the second generation of AirPods Pro that has just been released, with the version number of 5A377. Although new content has not been clearly indicated, connection stability has been enhanced. It is reported that the new AirPods still adopt the "automatic update" solution, and users cannot choose freely.
In this Apple's autumn new product launch conference, the most anticipated smart hardware should be the new AirPods Pro. After all, it should have a significant update after many years. But it is a bit disappointing that not only did not change much in appearance design, but even the LE Audio mentioned failed to arrive on schedule. It has to be said that since the launch of the AirPods series, its sound quality has always been the biggest topic of debate. Some people say that this "boiled water" style tuning just fits various music genres and is the best solution for ordinary consumers, but music lovers don't think so.
In addition, today Mingmei Infinity also needs to mention that reference materials supporting LC3 codecs and LE audio have appeared in Apple's iOS16 code, and it is expected to bring LE audio support in the future. It is worth mentioning that a senior Apple engineer can also confirm that they are actively participating in this new standard.
With the support of LC3, Apple will be able to get rid of the asynchronicity of AirPods on the user's ears and improve battery life through low-energy standards, while focusing on efficiency and stability.
Of course, it is not clear when Apple will truly implement this function. For example, although the new Apple TV4K can support a 120Hz refresh rate, Apple has not yet implemented this feature, and that's the same.
In addition, according to the current evaluation results, many evaluation agencies have given evaluations that noise reduction is very powerful and sound quality is slightly improved. Specifically, noise reduction has stronger low-frequency noise reduction capabilities than previous generations, and the low-frequency effect is stronger in terms of sound quality, and the entire sound field is also wider, which is an upgrade with extremely strong perception. However, I don’t know whether Apple will weaken the noise reduction performance through firmware updates in the future. After all, the noise reduction effect of the AirPods Pro is also an invincible player in the world. In terms of battery life, this AirPods Pro 2 can provide up to 30 hours of battery life with a single charger, which is 6 hours higher than the previous generation. It can last for a full 6 hours when used alone, but it is still with active noise reduction turned on.AirPods Pro 2 also supports MagSafe wireless charging and Apple Watch charger, but unfortunately, the charging interface is still a Lightning interface, not a Type-C interface.
It can be said that this generation of AirPods Pro 2 has received a comprehensive upgrade. Compared with the iPhone 14 series' unpainful iterations, AirPods Pro 2 is the most worth buying Apple product this year. Currently, you can get AirPods Pro 2 by participating in Apple's back-to-school season activities by adding 900 yuan to purchase iPad and Mac products. It has to be said that it is still extremely cost-effective.
There is also, in addition to the officially released AirPods Pro, there are also news mentioning updates to Apple's MacBook series products.
According to the leak, Apple may bring product updates to the MacBook Pro series in the fourth quarter of this year, and this time it will bring two products, 14-inch and 16-inch.
Previous news shows that these new products may be equipped with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.
It is said that the upcoming two M2 series chips may also be based on 5nm process technology, but the performance is improved compared to the M1 Pro and M1 Max in the current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. It is expected that Apple will shift from TSMC's standard 5nm process "N5" to the more advanced 5nm process "N5P".
At the same time, the number of GPU cores and RAM of the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips will also increase.
Finally, it is a purchase suggestion. Even if you already have the first generation of AirPods Pro, it has been used for a long time and the battery has decayed. The second generation of AirPods Pro is still worth buying. If you have any questions about the second generation of AirPods Pro, please feel free to ask it in the comment section and I will try to reply one by one.
Then, if you have anything else to say about Apple's newly released AirPods Pro 2, you might as well leave a message in the comment section for Mingmei Unlimited to participate in the discussion!
