AirPods 2 have a lot to live up to, given that the original AirPods became hugely popular all over the world. What's new, and better, in these second-generation devices?
AirPods 2 are smarter where Siri is concerned; they're the first Pods to feature hands-free Siri. That means you simply have to utter the magic words “Hey Siri,” to stir your digital assistant into action. Meanwhile, the revolutionary Apple H1 headphone chip delivers faster wireless connection to your devices.
As soon as you remove AirPods 2 from their charging case, they're ready to use with your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac.
The H1 brings a new dimension to AirPods 2. If you're using one AirPod, or both of them, the H1 chip automatically routes the audio and engages the microphone. And when you’re on a call or talking to Siri, another speech-detecting accelerometer works alongside beamforming microphones to filter out external noise and focus on your voice.
The new chip is also behind AirPods 2 great battery power. It delivers five hours of listening time and three hours of talk time on a single charge. The charging case holds multiple charges for more than 24 hours of total listening time. When you need a quick charge, just 15 minutes in the case gives you three hours of listening time or two hours of talk time.
This earbud doesn't support active noise cancellation, which AirPods Pro features. Furthermore, there's no wireless charging case included as standard.

After buying the product a couple of weeks ago I have nothing but good remarks! Using the product so far has been amazing, they don't fall out, they have really good sound quality and the charging case is really handy! I'm really happy with my purchase and AO are a great company to buy from!
Music to my ears! Worth the exorbitant price. The sound quality is excellent and the features very useful. I especially love that I can just put them in my ears, turn blue tooth on and that's all I need to do.
I have tried MANY wireless EarPods over the years. They all were difficult (at times) to connect, had finicky issues and none of them ever lasted more than a few months. I finally decided to stop screwing around and buy the best. I'm so glad I did.
The Bluetooth connectivity is the easiest I have ever experienced. I use with Apple devices so I can't say how they work with other brands. The sound is great, but they are not noise cancelling. Very good for working out as they are light and for me, they never fall out. Seem to fit my ear perfect.
Very nice. Work very well and great at the special sale price. I wish it had more controls though.
Technically and sonically better than before, the second generation AirPods offer unbeatable Bluetooth usability and decent sound quality
Tonally balanced; Improved sonic sophistication; Flawless wireless tech
Won’t fit everyone; No buttons; Sound harsh when pushed
The new AirPods are an incremental upgrade to an already excellent, fully wireless headphone, but sound quality, design and fit are basically the same.
The second-generation AirPods add a couple of small but key improvements to the original, including always-on voice recognition and a wireless charging case option; They're a top-notch headset for making calls, indoors and out.
No design changes to help them fit more ears securely; their sound hasn't improved, and their open design allows for a lot of ambient noise to leak in.
When it comes down to it, there's not a big difference between the first and second generation AirPods. Talk time, improved connection speed, and Hey Siri are the headlining features, and to some, they won't mean all that much.
Battery life; Long range; quick pairing; Wireless charging optional
Wireless charging is going to cost you
