During the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple presented several new features for its AirPods, taking advantage of the headphones’ sensors… and a pinch of AI.

- Excellent ANC
- Best transparency mode on the market
- Sound quality, technical and balanced
Even more mature and technological than the first Airpods Pro of the name, the Airpods Pro 2 place themselves without much effort at the top of the hierarchy of true wireless headphones, alongside a few other competitors.
If the manufacturing quality is fairly standard, the Apple creation is one of the most compact (particularly the case) of its kind. Driven by the best current comfort, on par with the Jabra Elite 10, these semi-in-ear headphones adopt simple but complete ergonomics, which cover all the functions. On the other hand, if they assert themselves as perfect daily headphones, all of the ergonomics are only truly unlocked with iOS smartphones.
Active noise reduction is not left out, we are entitled to a peak in terms of bass and midrange isolation. Only the treble (passive isolation) could be optimized, because it is less attenuated than with in-ear headphones like the Sony WF-1000Xm5.
Finally, the sound quality, all in balance and nuance, shows that a path other than the all-bass is possible. Despite their few minor flaws, the Airpods Pro 2 are the most complete wireless headphones currently.

Among the most notable announcements, the introduction of the voice isolation function on AirPods Pro promises to make calls in noisy environments much more pleasant. This feature uses advanced algorithms to isolate the user’s voice, reducing ambient noise and improving conversation clarity.
AirPods have the right to their niche
Voice isolation was already available on iOS, helping to improve call clarity by prioritizing the user’s voice while blocking out ambient noise. However, this feature did not take AirPods into account. Available for audio or video calls with FaceTime in iOS 15 and for phone calls in iOS 16.4, voice isolation could be enabled through Control Center. With the latest updates announced at WWDC 2024, Apple is extending this feature to AirPods Pro, providing an improved calling experience directly from these earbuds.
Additionally, AirPods Pro now benefit from direct interactions with Siri, allowing voice commands without using an intermediary device. This reinforces the autonomy and practicality of the headphones in various everyday situations.
For developers, Apple has introduced new APIs for personalized spatial audio, paving the way for even more immersive applications tailored to users’ individual hearing preferences.
