4 Ways AirPods Pro 2 Will Be Much Better With This Technology

Apple still plans to announce AirPods Pro 2nd GenerationRumor has it they will arrive with noise cancellation improvements, a new case, and possibly some special health and fitness features. However, these are not the only innovations that will be included in this product. A new report in the Bluetooth SIG database shows that Apple has registered a new device with Bluetooth 5.2a technology that will bring a number of advantages to the next Apple wireless headphones, such as LE audio compatibility and others.

In the report, yes, Apple seems to have registered devices with Bluetooth 5.3, although in fact it is version 5.2. Well, according to Macrumors, the company tends to list devices in the database with a higher version than what is listed. This has actually already happened with the Beats Studio Buds, which are listed with Bluetooth 5.3 and actually have Bluetooth 5.2. Therefore, the same thing could happen with the AirPods Pro 2.

Precisely one of the main benefits of Bluetooth 5.2 technology is the inclusion of LE Audio or Bluetooth Low Energy Audio. In fact, this standard will allow AirPods Pro 2 to get some improvements over the current generation. LE Audio, for example, can improve the sound quality of wireless headphones thanks to the new LC3 codec. It can also work at frequencies up to 248Kbps, so you can listen to music in high quality through Apple Music, as the company offers the option to play songs at 256Kbps, a similar frequency.

Battery life and audio streaming improvements for AirPods Pro 2

Another improvement is related to autonomy. Again, thanks to the LC3 codec, which is much more efficient than the SBC codec included in devices with Bluetooth version 5.1 and below. This would not only allow increase battery life AirPods Pro 2. It also offers Apple the opportunity to redesign it, reducing its weight or size and keeping it the same duration as current models.

LE audio, on the other hand, also offers the possibility connect more than two headphones at the same time on one iPhone. He is also capable stream audio to both earbuds at the same time. So the second generation AirPods Pro will also offer better audio sync.

The second-generation AirPods Pro are rumored to arrive before the end of 2022. It’s unclear if Apple will announce them during an event scheduled for September 7 next year, where the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 will also be announced, as well as the new iPad. However, the company may also announce them in a press release. Or through a second event in October, as the company also plans to announce new Macs before 2023.
