New second-generation AirPods Pro headphones are introduced: improved sound and dust protection
Apple has unveiled the latest version of its famous AirPods Pro headphones, which come with a host of interesting features. Despite the fact that AirPods Pro still belong to the second generation, these headphones offer a number of improvements that are sure to please users.
In the press release, Apple highlighted some key improvements. In particular, the updated second-generation AirPods Pro now supports 20-bit lossless audio at 48 kHz. This improvement promises an audiophile experience, ensuring that every note and nuance in your music is accurately reproduced.
Moreover, the new AirPods Pro offer ultra-low latency when connected to the upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset, which is scheduled for release in early 2024.
Apple's commitment to delivering the highest level of wireless audio is clear. They emphasized that when Apple Vision Pro becomes available in the US early next year, users can expect the industry's most advanced wireless audio experience. This includes not only music but also exceptional entertainment, gaming, crystal clear sound during FaceTime calls, and much more.
But that's not all. Apple recognizes the need to protect your investment. This time, they've added an extra layer of security. The updated AirPods Pro are IP54 dustproof for both the headphones and the charging case.
This means that you can enjoy your music even in dusty environments without worrying about compromising the functionality of your AirPods Pro.
Fortunately, you can already buy these improved AirPods Pro. Pre-orders are already available in the US at a competitive price of $249. You don't have long to wait: they will be available in retail stores on Friday, September 22.
It's worth noting that Apple has made a strategic move by discontinuing AirPods Pro with a Lightning case, reinforcing its commitment to the USB-C interface. Meanwhile, the standard third-generation AirPods and high-end AirPods Max have not yet received updates, leaving fans waiting for new innovations.
