Thankfully, AirPods Pro 2 and iPhone 14 offer it, meaning Apple can not only support a higher bitrate with these products but also offer some kind of lossless streaming with Apple Music. But something was missing on AirPods’ hardware: Bluetooth 5.2 support. The Low Complexity Communication Codec – LC3 for short – can transmit at much lower bitrates without dropping the audio quality we currently see with Bluetooth’s standard – and the good part is that Apple is already testing it with AirPods Max.Ī developer was able to activate this codec with the latest AirPods beta firmware, saying it’s improved the audio quality on calls. AirPods Pro 2 offers Bluetooth 5.3 support, could bring new codec support, and “lossless” playbackĪ couple of months ago, Bluetooth SIG announced that it had finalized the LE Audio Spec, meaning companies could make use of this technology. With all that in mind, there’s one last thing that Apple didn’t mention during the keynote but could mean that this product could be even better than we expected. Last but not least, the company is adding extra small ear tips so AirPods Pro 2 can fit more ears. While Apple had tweaked the first AirPods Pro case to work with the Find My app, the company has finally added the U1 chip in its MagSafe Charging Case, making it easier than ever to locate the wireless earbuds – and also make it play a sound, thanks to its built-in speakers. Users can finally lower or increase the volume by sliding their fingers on the stems of their AirPods. In addition, AirPods Pro 2 has another long-awaited feature: touch control. Apple is now calling it Adaptive Transparency, which the company said can “reduce loud environmental noise – like a passing vehicle siren, construction tools, or even loud speakers at a concert.” If ANC has improved, then Transparency Mode also has. Apple has claimed the new H2 chip can cancel noise up to two times better this feature is something I’m looking forward to testing. Active Noise Cancellation is amazing, and these are my favorite wireless earbuds when I’m riding on the subway, taking the bus, or needing to disconnect from the world. Personally, the original AirPods Pro fit just fine in my ears. While we yet have to see how it improved in real life, the company’s promises are impressive. AirPods Pro 2 have everything you need – and more – but Apple has yet to announce one more feature this product could offer.ĪirPods Pro 2 might look the same at first glance, but Apple rebuilt these wireless earbuds. While everyone keeps talking about the new Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro series, there’s one product the Cupertino company outdid itself with – and it’s AirPods Pro 2.
