When you get the rhythm, it’s fine - the strokes work perfectly and you can alter volume easily, despite being a little slow to respond. It works by stroking the small stem up and down, waiting for the small click to confirm a change. We’ve been mournfully crying out for this feature since the first AirPods emerged years ago, and it’s finally here - except, well, it’s far from perfect. While the stems on the AirPods Pro 2 might look the same, they house a new feature on AirPods: volume control. The only other small design change on the buds actually comes in the box, where Apple has packed in extra small tips for those with teenier ears - as our Senior Audio Writer Becky Scarrott can attest, this is a much-needed change and one that Apple should be applauded for making (especially as it’s keeping the RRP of the AirPods the same as the models from 2019). Side by side, you will notice that the AirPods Pro 2 do have an extra black section cut out, which is an audio vent designed to improve the quality of sound coming out of the diminutive buds - and, as you’ll see in a moment, that audio quality is darned impressive. The AirPods Pro are precisely the same as the previous iterations, with the shorter stem and the wider, more squat case to house them in. If you’re looking for AirPods with an all-new design, you’re not going to get that here. Case is same shape, but with a few extra accessories.Design is almost identical to previous models.AirPods Pro 2 release date: September 23.Price impressive stays the same as original AirPods Pro.In short, while they're expensive and a real investment, if you're embedded in the Apple ecosystem these are excellent, immersive and beautifully-sounding buds. Turn on all the head tracking, Spatial Audio and noise-cancelling features and you'll get about 4-5 hours between charges, with the case now able to charge in a variety of new ways too. The battery life has been extended, but not to beat many other rivals on the market. Turn it on and the world fades away – it's among the best we've tried in any true wireless earbuds. That feeling of audio envelopment comes from an enhanced noise-cancelling capability, and it's brilliant on the AirPods Pro 2.
The vocal tones are clear, the bass thudding but not dominant - we found ourselves reaching for them just to sink into a sonic world when we had an idle moment. The overall soundscape is wide, expansive and the AirPods Pro 2 are excellent at pulling out different instruments in the audio.
