Apple is no longer just a computer company. They have become the greatest architect of modern audio culture, fundamentally transforming how we listen to, share, and integrate music into our lives. In 2001, the original iPod and its iconic white earbuds revolutionized the concept of carrying 1,000 songs in your pocket 1. This was more than just a product success—it was a paradigm shift in music consumption itself. Then in 2016, AirPods severed the last physical constraint—the cable—propelling the truly wireless (TWS) category into the mainstream overnight 3.
Within this context, the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) is not merely an iterative update. It represents the current pinnacle of the personal audio empire Apple has built over more than two decades. It crystallizes their philosophy—hardware, software, and services unified in a trinity that creates a seamless, frictionless, and above all, meticulously “calculated” listening experience. In this review, we will dissect how this master of silence captivates our ears, examining its technical heart and acoustic soul through data and ruthless comparisons with competing products.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) — Overview
Let’s start with the fundamentals. The AirPods Pro 2 exists in two versions: the Lightning connector version released in 2022, and the USB-C connector version from 2023. While the earbuds themselves perform identically, note the slight differences in the charging case connector and dust resistance.

1. At the Crossroads of Public Opinion: Review Summary and the Balance of Bias
To gauge a product’s true merit, we must first stand at the crossroads of public opinion and determine which path leads to truth. However, never forget: every review carries the shadow of bias.
| Media | Quoted Excerpt (Translation + Original) | Rating | Bias Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| What Hi-Fi? | ”Clear, detailed and powerful sound… With the AirPods Pro 2nd generation, Apple finally gave us the five-star experience we’ve been waiting for.” | ★★★★★ | Puff Piece Risk (Low): Highly reliable, though their ratings strongly correlate with mainstream appeal. Their perfect score 9 demonstrates the product’s high level of refinement but may not fully reflect concerns of niche audiophile communities. |
| SoundGuys | ”The AirPods Pro 2 closely follow our headphone preference curve through the bass and mids… sound great and will make most music sound good.” | 7.6/10 | Data-Driven Bias: SoundGuys 10 prioritizes fidelity to their own target curve above all else. Their score reflects measurement excellence but offers limited evaluation of the subjective element of “musicality” that measurements alone cannot capture. Trustworthy, but based on a specific acoustic philosophy. |
| PCMag | ”The AirPods Pro 2 are the top true wireless earphones for Apple users thanks to their exceptional noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and advanced audio features.” | 4.5/5 | Ecosystem Bias: PCMag’s 11 quote explicitly positions these as “for Apple users.” While this is a fair perspective, it suggests a bias prioritizing the integrated ecosystem experience over standalone audio performance on other platforms. |
| Headfonia | ”And, if from afar the difference looks negligible, I can assure you that in ears, those new AirPods Pro 2 are far and above the previous gen.” | 4.4/5 | Enthusiast Perspective: Headfonia 12 takes a more audiophile-oriented viewpoint. This high rating from a community that typically favors wired setups is significant testimony that the Pro 2’s sonic evolution is genuine. The fact the review unit was personally purchased further eliminates manufacturer influence. |
| Audio Science Review (User) | “More often than not there are some aspects of the sound that I find distracting with most earphones, like bloated bass, piercing highs… With the Airpod Pro 2, I don’t find anything to complain about.” | (N/A) | Skeptic’s Approval: ASR forum members 13 are data supremacists known for extreme criticism. For such a user to state “nothing to complain about” indicates that the tuning is technically very refined and skillfully avoids common pitfalls. This is the highest praise possible. |
Aggregate: The global consensus is overwhelmingly positive. Particularly, the dramatic improvements in sound quality and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance from the first generation are universally praised across nearly all reviews 9. A common theme is that the experience within the Apple ecosystem feels “magical.” Conversely, the lack of high-quality codec support for Android users is cited as one of the few weaknesses 15.
2. Heart of the H2 Chip: Technical Features and Competitive Anatomy
The source of the AirPods Pro 2’s magic is none other than the Apple H2 chip at its core. This is not merely a processor—it’s a command center orchestrating the entire acoustic experience, a “Computational Audio” engine.
Integrating approximately 1 billion transistors 11, this chip processes external sound at an astonishing rate of 48,000 times per second, enabling powerful noise cancellation 9. But that’s not all. An inward-facing microphone monitors what the user is actually hearing in real-time, adjusting bass and midrange to compensate for individual fit differences through “Adaptive EQ” 14. Furthermore, during Transparency mode, “Adaptive Ambient Noise Reduction” suppresses only sudden loud noises (construction sounds or sirens) 9. All of this is made possible by the H2 chip’s computational power.
Working in tandem with this “brain” are the newly designed “custom high-excursion driver” and “custom high dynamic range amplifier” 4. Apple claims these reduce distortion across all volume levels while delivering deeper bass and clearer highs. We’ll verify these claims with measurement data later.
So how does Apple’s proprietary approach differ from market rivals? A comparison table reveals the philosophical differences between manufacturers.
| Feature | Apple AirPods Pro 2 | Sony WF-1000XM5 | Bose QC Ultra Earbuds | Sennheiser MTW 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audio Processor | Apple H2 | Sony V2 & QN2e | Qualcomm S5 Sound | Qualcomm S5 Sound Gen 2 |
| Hi-Res Codec | AAC, SBC (Lossless only with Vision Pro) | LDAC, LC3, AAC, SBC | aptX Adaptive (Lossless), AAC, SBC | aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, LC3 |
| ANC | Adaptive ANC | Dual Processor ANC | CustomTune ANC | Adaptive ANC |
| Battery (ANC On) | 6 hours (30 hours total) | 8 hours (24 hours total) | 6 hours (24 hours total) | 7.5 hours (30 hours total) |
| IP Rating | IP54 | IPX4 | IPX4 | IP54 |
| Custom EQ | No (accessibility presets only) | Yes (full-band) | Yes (3-band) | Yes (5-band + Sound Check) |
| Source(s) | 5 | 18 | 20 | 22 |
This table reveals not a mere spec war but a proxy war of acoustic design philosophies. While Sony and Sennheiser loudly tout high-quality codecs like LDAC and aptX Lossless, Apple stubbornly sticks with AAC 24. Why? Because they’re fighting on different battlefields.
Sony and Sennheiser must compete in the open environment of Android smartphones made by various manufacturers. Their strategy is to first secure a high-quality data transmission path with LDAC or aptX, then reproduce the best sound on the earbud side. This is a “Gospel In, Gospel Out” approach—quality materials yielding quality products.
Apple, in contrast, controls everything from iPhone to AirPods—the entire path from audio input to output. They work on the assumption of AAC transmission, then use the H2 chip’s powerful computational capability to reconstruct “Apple’s ideal sound” through post-processing like Adaptive EQ and spatial audio. This could be called “Garbage In, Gospel Out”—creating quality products from mediocre materials. Neither approach is inherently superior. Apple pursues the ultimate “experience” within a closed ecosystem, while rivals pursue ultimate “data fidelity” in an open environment. This fundamental strategic difference is precisely why AirPods Pro 2 is unparalleled for iPhone users yet merely one of many options for Android users.

3. Truth Through Measurement Data: Objective Analysis of Frequency Response
Before subjective impressions, let’s examine the cold hard data. Measurement data from trusted third parties like SoundGuys and Crinacle tells the story of how skillfully the AirPods Pro 2’s sound targets mass-market ears 10.
Frequency Response: The sound signature diverges from the flat characteristics pure audiophiles seek.
- Bass (20Hz-250Hz): Compared to neutral target curves like Harman IE 2019 v2, sub-bass through mid-bass is elevated by approximately 3-5dB 26. This is extremely intentional tuning to reinforce bass that tends to be masked during outdoor listening, adding warmth and impact to the music.
- Midrange (250Hz-4kHz): The mids are surprisingly clean and faithful to the target curve. This ensures vocals and primary instruments—the stars of popular music—sound natural and clear. This is likely the primary factor making most users perceive “good sound” 13.
- Treble (4kHz and above): There’s a slight peak around 6kHz providing clarity, but the ultra-high frequencies above 8kHz roll off gently 10. This skillfully suppresses harshness (sibilance) common in compressed sources and modern mastering, preventing listener fatigue during extended sessions 16.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Measurements show total harmonic distortion is maintained at extremely low levels, further improved from the first generation 10. This evidences the new driver and amplifier performance, enabling the intentionally boosted bass to remain tight and defined without muddying the midrange.
Noise Isolation (ANC): ANC performance is devastatingly effective against low-frequency noise—the primary component of commute and transit noise. SoundGuys’ measurements record 20-30dB noise reduction 28, while Rtings data shows a powerful -22dB attenuation in the bass region. Some users report this is even more powerful than the over-ear AirPods Max 29.
Synthesizing this data leads to one conclusion: AirPods Pro 2’s sound is not designed for analytical accuracy (Purity). It’s designed to maximize listener pleasure based on psychoacoustics.
This tuning is built on a perfect understanding of how modern music is consumed and in what environments. The bass boost ensures the musical foundation isn’t lost in noisy outdoor settings, and compensates for the “Fletcher-Munson curve” effect where human ears perceive less bass at lower volumes. Clean midrange keeps vocals—the heart of tracks—always front and center. Gentle treble prevents harshness even with streaming service compression or over-compressed pop music.
In other words, AirPods Pro 2 is not an analytical tool. It’s a “dopamine delivery device” optimized to make modern music sound most appealing in modern listening environments. This is why even non-audio specialists intuitively perceive “good sound,” and why Apple’s tuning earns the moniker “tuner for the masses.”
4. Stories Heard by Ears: Listening Impressions
How do the objective characteristics revealed by data translate to what we actually hear? Let’s overlay voices from reviewers worldwide with our own listening experiences.
| Reviewer / Source | Quoted Excerpt (Translation + Original) |
|---|---|
| John Darko / Darko.Audio | ”Listening to music through them isn’t punishment anymore. They actually sound really good.” (Compared to first-gen Pro) |
| What Hi-Fi? | ”We have so much more fun listening to these AirPods Pro 2 than the previous generation. There are more layers and textures to dynamic shifts, keeping you hooked on a song.” |
| Head-Fi User “wicktus" | "Sound quality, clear jump, especially on the bass/heavy spectrum.” |
| Stereophile | ”The sound quality of these new IEMs is roughly as good as many (but not all) wired headphones in the same price class.” |
These evaluations align with our listening impressions. Let’s examine characteristics by genre.
- Classical: With grand orchestral works like Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection,” spatial audio expands the soundstage though it doesn’t fully recreate concert hall vastness. However, the low distortion benefit is remarkable. Climactic timpani strikes ring powerfully without muddying cello or double bass melodies. The gently tuned treble prevents violin tutti from becoming piercing, delivering sound that’s clear yet never harsh.
- Jazz: Listening to Miles Davis’ “So What,” the pleasant bass boost evidenced in measurements gives the upright bass roundness and presence, stabilizing the entire track. Clean midrange renders piano chords and sax solos with excellent separation. Cymbal shimmer has brilliance but lacks that final breath of “air” possessed by earphones with more extended treble.
- EDM/Pop: This is where AirPods Pro 2 dominates. With Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” kick drums deliver gut-punch impact while the bassline relentlessly drives the groove. The mass-market tuning functions perfectly, producing dynamic, fun, irresistibly appealing sound that elevates modern productions to the max.
- Rock: The “muscular” sound noted by What Hi-Fi? 9 is prominently felt in Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name.” Heavy guitar riffs have genuine weight, with surprisingly good bass and drum separation for TWS earbuds. Again, this is thanks to the low-distortion design.
5. Anatomy of Value: Evaluation and Scoring
To judge overall value, let’s score and analyze the AirPods Pro 2 across multiple evaluation axes.
| Evaluation Axis | Score (out of 5) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Technical Performance | ★★★★★ (5.0) | ANC via H2 chip, Transparency mode, Adaptive EQ, and seamless Apple ecosystem integration represent the pinnacle of technical refinement. These aren’t just features—they function as an integrated experience 9. |
| Musical Appeal | ★★★★☆ (4.5) | Extremely skillfully tuned—90% of people will perceive 90% of music as “good sounding.” Dynamic and enjoyable, though those seeking audiophile neutrality or ultimate resolution will find some compromises 31. |
| Build Quality | ★★★☆☆ (3.5) | Earbuds are robustly constructed, but the case’s glossy plastic scratches easily, making long-term aesthetic maintenance difficult 32. Reports of earbuds falling out during drops mean it’s not perfect. |
| Price to Value | ★★★★☆ (4.0) | For Apple users, the seamless experience adds significant value, fully justifying the price. However, for Android users who can’t access many premium features, cost-performance drops compared to similarly-priced Sony or Sennheiser products 33. |
| Longevity / Repairability | ★☆☆☆☆ (1.0) | The non-replaceable battery design means product lifespan is tied directly to battery lifespan. Performance degrades after 2-3 years, ultimately destined to become e-waste—the greatest flaw from a sustainability perspective 17. |
6. The Market Chessboard: Bird’s-Eye Strategic Analysis
AirPods Pro 2 is not just an audio product. It’s an extremely strategic move Apple has made on the market chessboard. They’re playing an entirely different game from Sony or Sennheiser. While competitors fight spec wars over codecs, Apple has redefined the battlefield itself to “user experience.”
Seamless pairing, automatic device switching, the “Find My” feature leveraging U1/U2 chips 5, and the aforementioned computational audio—these weave a powerful “walled garden” that’s irresistible to Apple’s 1+ billion users.
To understand this product’s success, we need a perspective that views it not as a traditional audio device but as a “lifestyle appliance.” Traditional audio products are first and foremost evaluated on sound quality. However, with AirPods Pro 2, features like ANC, Transparency mode, call quality, fit, usability, and ecosystem integration are praised equally or more than sound quality 17. These elements are alien to traditional Hi-Fi values—they’re features for improving Quality of Life.
Even the fatal flaw of non-repairability for an audio product becomes acceptable when viewed as a consumer appliance premised on replacement every few years. AirPods Pro 2 is more than a tool for listening to the best sound—it’s a wearable appliance essential to the iPhone for managing “sound” in daily life. This perspective shift is the fundamental reason it continues dominating the market despite criticism from audiophiles.
Sound Quality Strengths and Weaknesses
Let’s clarify its sonic positioning through direct comparison with its biggest rival, the Sony WF-1000XM5.
- AirPods Pro 2 Strengths: More natural and seamless Transparency mode. Vocal band clarity and a pleasant sound balance that never fatigues during extended listening without being overly analytical.
- AirPods Pro 2 Weaknesses: Lack of LDAC support limits high-resolution source potential on Android devices. Virtually no user-accessible serious EQ.
- WF-1000XM5 Strengths: LDAC support delivers overwhelming information density and resolution on compatible Android devices. Full-band EQ enables thorough customization 18.
- WF-1000XM5 Weaknesses: Default sound can have slightly excessive bass. Transparency mode naturalness is a step behind AirPods Pro 2.
7. Conclusion & Recommended Users
Based on this analysis, let me state definitively who these earbuds are for—and who they’re not.
- Recommended for:
- iPhone, iPad, Mac users: This product’s true value lies in ecosystem integration. If you’re a resident of Apple’s garden, virtually no better option exists.
- Commuters: Industry-leading ANC transforms noisy transit time into your own quiet listening sanctuary.
- Convenience-first users: If you seek the ultimate stress-free experience where everything just works from case to ears, this is your only choice.
- Not recommended for:
- Android users: You can’t benefit from high-quality codecs like LDAC or aptX Lossless, making this a waste of money. Similarly-priced Sony or Sennheiser products will likely deliver superior sonic experiences.
- EQ tweakers: Lack of serious equalizer functionality means you cannot fine-tune sound to personal preference. You must accept Apple’s provided sound as-is.
- Long-term product users: This is a consumable with non-replaceable batteries. If you value sustainability, this product premised on replacement after a few years isn’t for you.
Overall Rating (★×5)
★★★★☆ (4.5/5)
The essence of AirPods Pro 2 is the perfected form of mass-market audio born from Apple’s “computational acoustics.” For iPhone users, the seamless experience and silence are unparalleled, and the tuning that makes music sound “fun” is truly masterful.
Strongly recommended for anyone seeking the best “acoustic appliance” that melts into daily life rather than audiophile purity.
