AirPods Pro USB-C revealed: prices and new features

It was a bit of the one more thing of this 2023 keynote. Apple unveiled its AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe charger (USB-C). These can be ordered today, while deliveries will start from next Friday September 22. These new accessories cost at least 279 euros.

Welcome new features

As we explained above, these wireless headphones therefore have a USB-C connector. Clearly, and as the EU now requires, a single cable will allow you to recharge Macs, iPads, AirPods, and the new iPhone 15 range.

Another significant contribution: these new AirPods have an IP54 protection rating. To simplify, they are more resistant to dust, assures the Apple brand in its press release, ensuring better solidity over time.

The accessory will also soon offer the Lossless Audio functionality which will work with the Vision Pro headset. Apple specifies that“its headphones will provide lossless audio with ultra-low latency to provide the perfect wireless solution with Apple Vision Pro. The H2 chip in the latest AirPods Pro and Apple Vision Pro, combined with a revolutionary wireless audio protocol, unlocks powerful 20-bit, 48kHz lossless audio with massive reduction in audio latency. »

Finally, and this is also a very strong commitment from the Tech giant, these new AirPods Pro are designed with new materials which include the use of 100% recycled rare earth elements, and we note the absence of substances potentially harmful substances such as mercury, BFR, PVC and beryllium.
