![]() But then I figured out the right technique - your index finger has to begin its slide starting above or below the flat sensor area in order to be consistently recognized. Each complete slide gesture moves the volume up or down one notch.Īt first, I really struggled with this new gesture. But instead of squeezing with your index finger, you slide it up or down on the stem. To use it, you put your thumb against the back of the stem, the same as you would for a squeeze gesture. ![]() The second-gen buds add volume control, a feature that AirPods fans have been asking for. The new skin-sensing wear sensors absolutely live up to their promise. Inside the second-gen earbuds lies Apple’s new H2 chips, which do all of the heavy lifting for the new-and-improved features. The whole package now weighs a wee bit more, likely thanks to all of those extra charging case features: 2.19 ounces versus the first-gen’s all-in weight of 1.98 ounces. Speaking of the charging case, it now has a built-in lanyard loop, Apple’s U1 chip for precise locating in the Apple Find My app, support for Apple Watch/ MagSafe/Qi wireless charging, and a tiny speaker that can be used for a variety of feedback tones, which we’ll discuss in a moment. The pressure-relief vents have been moved higher on the newer earbuds, and a new type of wear sensor knows the difference between human skin (like the inside of your ear) and other objects like the inside of your pockets, should you be in the habit of leaving your charging case at home.

Apple says a firmware mismatch will keep them from charging if you do this, and indeed it does. You can even swap the earbuds and cases from one generation to the other and they’ll fit together perfectly. In terms of size and shape, the earbuds and the charging cases are identical. ![]() You’re going to have to look closely - and I mean really closely - to see where Apple has made changes from the first-gen AirPods Pro to the AirPods Pro 2, at least on the outside. Design First-gen Apple AirPods Pro (left) and second-gen AirPods Pro. The box itself and all of its internals are 100% recyclable paper and cardboard. Maybe it’s just me, but a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter would have been a welcome addition. That’s a much longer cable than what most wireless earbuds ship with, but Apple continues to ignore the fact that not all of its customers have computers or chargers that use USB-C just yet. In addition to the AirPods Pro 2 and their charging case, Apple provides a generous set of extra eartip sizes (now including extra small), plus a 41-inch Lightning-to-USB-C cable for charging.
