Apple says the AirPods Pro offer up to twice the noise cancellation of the previous model (which I regularly use while mowing the lawn, and works quite well). They also have a feature called “Adaptive Transparence” that actively reduces the volume of loud noises in the environment like sirens or power tools.
The second-gen AirPods Pro have touch control volume, so all you have to do is swipe on the stem to make them louder or quieter. They also ship with an extra-small silicon tip, in addition to the three sizes offered before.
If you’re prone to losing your earbuds, you’ll like this feature: They offer Find My support. The case has a little speaker that emits a sound when prompted in the Find My app. The case can also be charged on an Apple Watch charger (in additional to a MagSafe charger or standard Qi charger). Additionally, the case has a little hoop for attaching a lanyard.
