Original title: AirPods Pro 2 has also reversed, when will the new Apple products stop?

Sentence | Akemi Mugen

After years of rapid growth for TWS earphones, the difference between products has gradually narrowed. At a time when noise reduction is popular, the innovation of the TWS track seems to have been weak, and Apple’s AirPods series has an increasingly small advantage in the TWS headphone market.

However, Apple recently released a new generation of TWS headphones, the AirPods Pro 2, which is a very clear upgrade compared to the previous generation. For example, it uses a new H2 chip, and with iOS 16, users can create their own spatial audio data. Moreover, it supports higher audio sampling rates, and the sound quality is noticeably better.

But recently,Some Apple AirPods Pro 2 users have reported that the headset often disconnects from the device when listening to music or watching videos, which is inevitable whether it’s an iPhone or iPad.

At the same time, some users reported that the phone may display a bug that the AirPods Pro is connected but it is not actually connected. And these problems happen sporadically and randomly, and the specific cause has not been determined yet, and even Apple has not given a clear answer.

It is worth noting that such problems have even been reported as early as the first generation AirPods Pro launched in 2019, and the new generation of “AirPods Pro” was launched three years later than the generation first. This bug still exists, much to the dismay of users.

The new “AirPods Pro 2” began shipping on Friday, and it’s unclear how widespread the bug is. You can try updating the AirPods Pro and iPhone to the latest firmware and iOS version when you encounter similar problems. The latest firmware version of the second generation AirPods Pro is 5A377.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is a problem with the hardware itself, but the overall improvement of AirPods Pro 2 is not great. The previous generation is already a very mature product, and the probability of hardware problems is relatively small.

In addition, in addition to the cord hole and the speaker on the charging box, the biggest upgrade of AirPods Pro 2 this time is the H2 chip, which makes the noise reduction ability stronger, and can also support adaptive transparency mode, through 48,000 calculations per second Brings better adaptive transparency.

Then note that the noise reduction effect should be increased by 2 times about 3db after actually converting the formula, that is, the noise reduction effect has actually increased by 2 times increasing from 35db to about 38db, not many users . think that it is directly converted from 35db to 70db times, we must pay attention.

The specific use effect, if there are users who buy AirPods Pro for the first time in 2019, they may be impressed. The noise reduction performance of the AirPodsPro was much stronger than what we use now, but the side effect is that the ear pressure is large, and if you wear it for a long time, you may experiencing slight dizziness and nausea. Later, after several versions of OTA upgrade, Apple reduced the noise reduction effect of AirPodsPro (there is a clear feeling), and also reduced the ear weight to achieve the purpose of being able to wear it for a long time.

The noise reduction performance of the Pro2 is a bit more aggressive than the effect of the first AirPods Pro, and it can be almost tied with the AirPods Max. The ear pressure has increased, but it is not as uncomfortable as it was at first. Whether it is acceptable to you personally, I still recommend that you actually borrow it from friends or colleagues who have already bought it and tried it before making a choice.

In addition, today Mingmei Infinite wants to mention that in addition to supporting the Lightning interface and MagSafe magnetic charging, AirPods Pro 2 can now be charged using the Apple Watch charger.

Unlike the first generation, even when AirPods Pro 2 is wearing and listening to songs, the battery tool on the desktop of the iPhone can usually show the battery status of the charging box itself.

So, when charging the earphone box while listening to songs, we can also check the charging status of the earphone box in real time, which is quite convenient.

In addition, in terms of battery life, the performance of AirPods Pro 2 is better than that of the original headphones.

Also, according to the test, the AirPods Pro 2 lasted for a total of 6 hours and 15 minutes before announcing the strike after the mixed use of noise reduction, transparency mode and calls.

So, even without a headphone case, AirPods Pro 2 can basically meet daily commuting and learning needs.

In addition, what Mingmei needs to remind today is that Apple’s 2022 education discount activities will be from July 14th to September 26th. That means this year’s event comes to an end. Users can purchase a qualifying Mac or iPad with educational discounts and receive AirPods (2nd generation), as well as discounts on Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, and 20% off AppleCare+ service plans.

For example, when users buy a 10.9-inch iPad Air wireless LAN model with 64GB, they can get AirPods (second generation) for free (original price RMB999), and they can add RMB350 to get AirPods (third generation) with Lightning charging case (original price RMB1349), You can add RMB400 to get AirPods (third generation) with MagSafe charging box (original price RMB1399), and finally you can add RMB900 to get AirPods Pro (second generation) (original price RMB1899), and users can also choose “No need, thanks”.

In the end, Mingmei’s unlimited purchase advice is: This is a brand new product developed by the AirPodsPro product line after 3 years. The price of 1899 yuan has an advantage of 100 yuan compared to the first generation. If you can use the educational discount, it will probably be less than 1000 yuan. Yuan can start. Compared to the current starting price of around 1500 in the first generation third party channels, the new second generation from 1899 is more cost effective. If you want to buy AirPodsPro, there is no reason to buy it except the price The first generation.
