Apple introduced the new 2nd generation AirPods, which are equipped with the H2 chip. We saw the unveiling of the new headphones on the occasion of the traditional September conference, when they were presented alongside the new Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE 2, Apple Watch Ultra and four models from the iPhone 14 series. with the new H2 chipset, which aims to move the overall quality of the product several levels forward.

In this article, we will therefore focus on the H2 chipset itself and its capabilities, or rather on what specifically strengthens the capabilities of the newly introduced AirPods Pro 2nd generation headphones. Right from the start, we can say that this chip is practically the core of the entire product, which ensures its flawless operation.

Apple H2

As we mentioned above, the Apple H2 chipset is the core of the newly introduced AirPods Pro 2. After all, Apple directly presents it as a conductor in charge of the top-notch sound of the headphones themselves. However, it basically improves some very well-known functions. Compared to the first generation, its presence provides headphones with twice as effective active noise cancellation mode in comparison.

But it does not end there. The reverse permeability mode, which is newly adaptive and able to work with sounds in the environment, has also received a similar improvement. Thanks to this, AirPods Pro 2 can reduce loud ambient sounds such as sirens, heavy construction equipment, loud speakers from concerts and more without reducing other sounds. It will therefore still be possible to benefit from the permeability mode and clearly hear your surroundings, even when there are quite a number of disturbing elements in your range.

Personalized Spatial Audio

To make matters worse, the Apple H2 chip also provides better acoustics, which should result in better bass tones and overall better sound. This partly goes hand in hand with the novelty that the giant presented as Personalized Spatial Audio. This is one of the main features of the new AirPods Pro 2nd generation. The function works thanks to close cooperation with the iPhone (with iOS 16) - the TrueDepth camera captures a specific user, and the surround sound profile itself is subsequently adapted to it. From there, Apple promises even higher quality.

AirPods Pro 2 news

In the end, let's go through the remaining news of the new generation very quickly. In addition to the mentioned functions, which are directly behind the Apple H2 chipset, the 2nd generation AirPods Pro also offer the possibility of touch control on the stems of the headphones, which can be used, for example, to adjust the volume. In addition, we also got better battery life. Individual headphones will now offer up to six hours of battery life, i.e. an hour and a half more than the previous generation. In combination with the charging case, AirPods Pro 2 offer a total of 30 hours of listening time with active noise cancellation. Of course, there is also water resistance according to the IPX4 degree of protection or the possibility of free engraving of the case.

However, what may surprise many interested parties is the improvement of the Find system and the incorporation of a small speaker on the bottom of the case. This will then be used to indicate charging, or in situations where you cannot find the power case, which goes hand in hand with U1 technology and a precise search within the mentioned native Find application. On the other hand, the new Apple headphones still do not support lossless audio.
