Apple goes Pro and in-ear with the new AirPods

Apple recently launched an updated version of its AirPods last week and its looks compact and more radical compared to the previous iterations. It features active noise cancellation, sweat and water resistance to go with the design updates. Also now, it comes in an in-ear format which many may not appreciate. Though it was not announced in the Apple’s Fall event, it is already up for pre-order in the US.

Battery performance is awesome as usual and AirPods Pro offer four-and-a-half hours of listening time on a single charge with active noise cancellation enabled. It also offers 3.5 hours of talk time with a single charge. The charging case also provides ample backup and gives close to an hour of listening and talk-time with just 5 minutes of in-case charging.

The AirPods Pro model has a feature named Adaptive EQ, which automatically tunes songs for better sound and has an updated touch-sensitive stem that allows users to switch between noise-cancellation mode and transparency mode. The transparency mode allows you to hear environment around you.

AirPods Pro are water and sweat resistant and also comes with interchangeable silicon ear-tips in three sizes. Apple is expecting it to be a big hit among the fitness enthusiasts.

When launched in India, AirPods Pro could retail in a price range of Rs. 25000 – Rs. 30,000. No launch date is confirmed for the device though.
