What are these Apple Pro headphones?

The AirPods Pro 2 are sleek and elegant premium headphones with clean lines for a decidedly modern style. Apple’s headphones don’t fit completely inside the ear, but fill the ear canal and provide excellent support and comfort, even during long listening sessions. Note that the AirPods Pro 2 Magsafe are IP54 certified, making them resistant to sweat, dust and water. A touch surface on the stem allows you to change the volume and tracks, activate noise reduction or receive your calls.

The AirPods Pro 2 stand out above all for their high-performance active noise reduction, which provides very effective isolation. The H2 chip offers the ability to effectively attenuate bass and midrange as well as surrounding noise. Conversely, the Adaptive Transparent mode lets ambient sounds through to keep you aware of your surroundings. In terms of audio, the quality sound is well balanced, with ample bass and precise bass and treble. The audio is impeccably accurate, with perfectly transcribed voice tones. Note the presence of spatial audio, which offers high-performance spatialization. In terms of battery life, expect up to 8 hours of use and 30 hours more with the case.

What about Apple AirPods 3?

The AirPods 3 look like the AirPods Pro and also benefit from IPX4 certification and are therefore perfectly suited to sports. Unlike the Pro models, they do not fit completely inside the ear, and do not have passive isolation. For comfort, although they are pleasant to wear, depending on your ear type, the earphones will fit correctly in the hollow, or on the contrary, will not hold well in place. Pressure sensors on the earpieces allow you to control playback or calls with a press, but not the volume.

Spatial Audio technology is also present, for dynamic tracking of head movements. The AirPods 3 are supposed to offer sound performance almost equivalent to the Pro models in theory. In fact, even if the audio is not up to par with the latter, the sound rendering is still of quality with controlled bass and very precise mids. The audio experience is controlled and very pleasant. Finally, the battery life goes up to 8 hours depending on the listening volume. The case brings the battery life to around thirty hours. The headphones are also available with the MagSafe charging case, at the price of €189.
