Ron Huang, Apple VP of Sensing and Connectivity, explained on the Brian Tong podcast that the USB-C AirPods Pro have an upgraded chip with 5 GHz connectivity, whereas the Lightning ones only have a 2.4 GHz chip. This reduces latency and provides for lossless audio with the Vision Pro. They do have a better chip.

I recently moved from the Beats Fit Pro to Airpods Pro 2 USB-C and I'm really impressed. I was a bit concerned about how these would fit, but they're really secure and the sound quality is excellent. Noise cancelling is very good too, definitely a step up compared to the Beats. They're also not fatiguing to listen to or uncomfortable over longer durations.

I had to turn off conversation awareness because it kept lowering when I was singing to a song

[ChavelliBoy]

I can watch Digital Trends all day. Love the tech talk.

[ChavelliBoy]

Also shout out to the person who did the audio editing in this video! It made me feel more immersed whenever the effects happened.

[MadViking]

Where's the sound quality review part in these headphones? Maybe I missed something...

Could you make a video about lossless audio over AirPlay 2. The internet seems torn over whether or not lossless is really being played

[ProfessorHamer]

Great video. I would add that spatial audio is the game changer for me, and that alone is a reason to buy them. For me personally, using spatialize stereo mode was a breakthrough, simply because I realized I don’t like hearing music coming from inside my head, and explains why I have always preferred speakers. This means I now almost always listen to music on my AirPods Pro 2, because combined with the personalization, the EQ is also better, and I get noise cancellation.

[Pedders]

Great to hear there is a difference between the original and the Pro2 Airpods.

I was wondering what you were doing after Ozarks

[GabeWilliams]

I just got these and pretty excited if they make lossless work wirelessly with everything.

[stephenmutinda]

The conversation feature is good but what if you start singing along to the music ? Wont the volume also go down hence being abit annoying? What are your thoughts?

[mutchlouis]

Imagine u end up jay walking with that noise cancelling on and you don’t hear that on coming bus. 😅

[RIGHTxTRIGGERx]

2:48 i dont think anyone was arguing that it was stupid. I think most people knew why they were doing it and disliked how greedy it is. Keeping a decade old cable that needed an upgrade a while ago, for the sake of raking in dough is pretty crappy.

[golfod]

I am easily entertained by the fact that your watch reads 4:20 during the unboxing. Very nice! Thank you.🚭

[StevePaulSounds]

How noticeable is the improvement in ANC strength compared to pro 2 lightning.

[gorrilaunit]

*Can we also get a list of AptX lossless earbuds/headphones?*

[Davehaha]

I love my new AirPods Pro after the original ones they sound so good and the new software features are really cool I can’t wait to see what Apple will do with them in the future

[iAdden]

3:56 but can you charge the lightning AirPods from the usb c AirPods case?

[gradym]

Do you think these are worth the upgrade from the AirPods 3rd generation
