What are these wireless headphones from Apple?
The design and size of the AirPods Pro 2 is similar to the first generation of AirPods Pro and benefits from very good support. The headphones fit well in the ear and can even accompany your sports activities. IPX4 certified, they are resistant to splashing water and perspiration. The touch functions on the stem are very convenient and responsive. They allow, with a slide or a pinch of the fingers, to increase or lower the volume, to manage the playback of the tracks, or to use the hands-free kit. Noise reduction mode is activated with a single press.
The latter is particularly stunning. The H2 chip does a remarkable job of noise isolation. If you’re unfamiliar with ANC, the AirPods Pro 2 can even cause a not always pleasant feeling of pressure. The adaptive transparent mode allows some ambient noise and voices to pass through, while isolating unpleasant noises. Activated, you will be able to listen to your music while remaining aware of your surroundings.
At this price, are the AirPods Pro 2 a bargain?
260 € is a very good deal. Audio level, the bass is ample and the bass and treble are precise and give a good dynamic to the whole. The instruments are clearly defined and the timbres of voices stand out naturally. Even with the volume turned up all the way, the AirPods Pro 2 deliver clean sound. On complex soundtracks, the level of detail is impressive, especially with the ANC activated. Finally, the H2 chip allows for efficient integration into Apple’s ecosystem.
The box that accompanies the headphones has a small speaker to locate it. Its battery level, as well as that of the headphones, is displayed on your iPhone. In terms of autonomy, the AirPods Pro 2 can last a little over 6 hours on a single charge, depending on whether or not active noise reduction is activated. The case brings about thirty additional hours of autonomy.
