Expert review of the AirPods Pro 2

I tested the new Apple AirPods Pro 2. This is the successor to the AirPods Pro 1. I expect a lot, because of the noise canceling, sound quality, and spatial audio. Thanks to that last function, I can enjoy spatial audio. Read what I think of the AirPods Pro 2 here.

  • Active noise canceling mutes distracting ambient noise and noise.
  • The new H2 chip provides higher sound quality, better noise canceling, and a stable connection.
  • Thanks to the USB-C input, you can also charge the AirPods with a charging cable from a different brand.
  • The earbuds are water-resistant instead of waterproof, so you can't clean them under the faucet.

First impression

First impression Apple AirPods

I notice right away how small the charging case is. It's almost the same size as a match box. This makes is smaller than the case of the JBL Tour Pro 2, for example. The earbuds are small and feel sturdy. Because the charging case is comfortable to hold, it's easy to take with me. Apple provides 4 sizes of silicone earbuds to test which size fits your ear best. In addition, Apple provides a USB-C to Lightning charging cable.

Great wearing comfort

Wearing comfort AirPods Pro 2

The earbuds fit snugly in my ears, so they also stay in during a heavy workout. That's because the earbuds are sweat and water-resistant. Thanks to the Apple fit test, I know right away which earbuds fit my ears best. During the fit test, I put in the AirPods and they play a sound. This way, the AirPods determine if the earbuds fit well.

Spatial audio nice experience

Spatial Audio AirPods Pro 2

Just like the AirPods Pro 1, the AirPods Pro 2 have a spatial audio function. This provides spatial audio. Music doesn't sound like it's playing in your ears, but all around you. Video clips sound like you're at the movie theater. In addition, spatial audio has head tracking. This makes the sound move along with the movements of my head. During a podcast, I got the sense that I was at the table with the presenters.

High-end noise canceling

Noise canceling AirPods Pro 2

The AirPods Pro 2 have 3 settings for noise suppression. For example, I choose to still hear ambient noise. In the next setting, a filter mutes the ambient noise a bit. In the last setting, I turn on noise canceling completely to make sure I hear nothing of my surroundings. The noise canceling of these earbuds works well. I can concentrate on my work very well. With the combination of Spatial Audio and noise canceling, I can immerse myself in the music.

Cooperation with iPhone

Working together iPhone and AirPods Pro 2

Unlike other brands, Apple doesn't provide a separate app to adjust settings. On the iPhone, I can adjust a few settings via the settings screen. This can be setting up noise canceling, Spatial Audio, and the controls of the earbuds. Unfortunately, I can't adjust the equalizer, so I have to do with the standard settings Apple provided. If I ever lose the AirPods, I can find them via the 'Find my' app on my iPhone.

Overall good sound quality

Good sound quality

The noise canceling and spatial audio provide a spatial and immersive sound experience. This is amplified because the sound quality of the earbuds is already good without these additions. I can hear clear audio with many details. The bass is clearly present and balanced. Compared to the AirPods Pro 1, the sounds are deeper and more spatial.

The AirPods Pro 2 has a high wearing comfort and clear sound quality. I could close myself off from my surroundings with noise canceling, so I could concentrate on my work. I also had high-quality phone calls. It was easy to adjust my preferences for noise canceling and spatial audio on my iPhone. If you had AirPods Pro 1 before, this is a good successor with the improved sound quality and the noise canceling.
