See Apple's new AirPods Pro with noise cancellation

Tech news 30 October 2019

Apple on Tuesday launched the latest addition to its selection of earbuds, which is said to be a higher-end version of its popular wireless headphones called the AirPods Pro.

The new Airpod Pro feature active noise cancellation is water-resistant and comes in a new design.

Each AirPod comes with two microphones. An outward-facing microphone listens to background noise and counters this with an equivalent anti-noise, while another inward-facing microphone listens to the inside of the ear for any further noise disturbance.

According to Apple, the noise cancellation will adapt the sound signal 200 times per second to provide users with an immersive sound experience.

A new force sensor located on the stem of the AirPods allows the user to easily switch between active noise cancellation and Transparency mode, control music playback, and answer or end phone calls.

The AirPods Pro also features Adaptive EQ, which tunes the low- and mid-frequencies of music to best suit the listener’s ear.

The new model includes interchangeable flexible tips to improve their fit and provides users with up to 4.5 hours of continuous listening time.

Using the wireless charging case will provide listeners with about 24 hours of battery life and comes with a Lightning to USB-C cable for charging.

The Airpods Pro will only be available in white and are set to launch in the United States on 30 October for $249.

Local availability and pricing have not yet been announced.
