AirPods Pro in charging case

AirPods Pro are wireless Bluetooth earbuds created by Apple, initially released on October 30, 2019.[2][3]

AirPods Pro use the same H1 chip found in second generation AirPods, but add active noise cancellation, automated frequency profile setting, IPX4 water resistance, a charging case with wireless charging, and interchangeable silicone tips.[4]

Overview

Apple announced AirPods Pro on October 28, 2019, and released them two days later on October 30.[4] They include features of standard AirPods, such as a microphone that filters out background noise, accelerometers and optical sensors that can detect presses on the stem and in-ear placement, and automatic pausing when they are taken out of the ears. Control by tapping is replaced by pressing a force sensor on the stems.[5]

They use the same H1 chip found in second generation AirPods that supports hands-free "Hey Siri". They have active noise cancellation, accomplished by microphones detecting outside sound and speakers producing precisely opposite anti-noise. Active noise cancellation can be turned off or switched to "transparency mode" that helps users hear surroundings. Noise cancellation modes can also be switched in iOS or by pinching the stems of the AirPods using a new "force sensor".[6] Battery life is slightly shorter than standard AirPods at 4.5 hours due to the processing for noise cancellation.[7] They are rated IPX4 for water resistance.[1]

They come with three sizes of silicone tips. In iOS there is a software test to "[measure] the sound level in the ear and comparing it to what is coming from the speaker driver" to ensure a correct fit, as well as a feature called "Adaptive EQ" which automatically adjusts the frequency contour, claimed to better match the wearer's ear shape.[4]

The charging case advertises the same 24 hours of total listening time as the standard AirPods case. It features Qi standard wireless charging compatibility.[7]

Compatibility

Support for AirPods Pro was added in iOS 13.2, watchOS 6.1, tvOS 13.2, and macOS Catalina 10.15.1.[7][6] They are compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth 4.0 or higher, including Windows and Android devices, although certain features such as automatic switching between devices are only available on Apple devices using its iCloud service.
