Just like it's doing with the iPhone, Apple is making the switch to USB-C on the AirPods Pro charging case too.
Along with swapping out the charging port, Apple has also added dust protection for both the case and the earbuds. While they were both IPX4 for water resistance in the past, now they're both rated IP54. Apple also revealed that the USB-C case can be uses for low-latency lossless audio when paired with the Vision Pro. Thanks to the H2 chip, you can expect 20-bit 48 kHz sound when the company's headset launches next year.
The second-gen AirPods Pro are a big improvement over the company's first version, with better audio quality and active noise cancellation performance. Apple's earbuds and headphones have the most natural-sounding transparency mode of any, which is a huge boost for both video and voice calls. You can hear yourself so well you don't need to shout, and at times, it sounds like you aren't even wearing them.
In addition to those main items, Apple's pending update will further improve seamless switching between various devices synced to your iCloud account. This includes jumping from iPhone to MacBook Pro when you have a video call, for example. Speaking of calls, you'll soon be able to mute/unmute by pressing the stem on the AirPods Pro. This feature will also be available on the first-generation AirPods Pro, AirPods Max and the third-gen AirPods.
