A:Answer While the two AirPods Pro models seem very similar, and indeed they are, the 2nd generation model makes some changes under the hood with an upgraded H2 chip in the earbuds and a U1 chip in the charging case. The H2 chip offers improvements in the same areas as the previous AirPods Pro H1 chip, only more so—things like battery life, noise cancelling, transparency mode, and connection stability are all improved. The U1 chip brings better location services to the charging case—it’s now precisely findable with the Find My iOS app, and sports a little speaker to emit a sound that makes finding it even easier.
Basically the new AirPods Pro is just as easy to use, and far harder to lose. Oh, and it comes with one more pair of ear tips (sizes XS-L).
