Pretty simple to switch between the two, just a couple clicks or taps in places and it's flawless.
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.

Honestly I use my iPhone the most to watch videos and listen to music so these little pods are a must have. Easy setup. I’ve had mine for about a year and a half and there’s no noticeable degradation in sound quality or volume, I make sure to give them a good wipe every now and then especially after long use. Battery life can last for a good while when they’re fully charged. Always pop them back in a charged case when you’re not using them and they’ll hardly ever go flat. Wireless is obviously a big plus and you can use them a good distance from your Apple devices too. Pods fit in the ear quite snugly and are hard to fall out. Tap feature to play/pause/skip next is cool. To sum it up; AirPods with charging case are super convenient and compact to take with you anywhere!

No sound quality improvements; Wireless charging case version costs an extra $40; No improvements to battery life for music
After two long years, the 2nd generation AirPods have arrived, and they look exactly the same. But it's what's inside that counts. Priced at $199, the AirPods 2 come with a wireless charging case and a pair of familiar-looking buds that are smarter and faster than its predecessor, thanks to the new...
Lightweight; comfortable design; Faster connection on iOS devices; Hands-free Siri integration; Good audio quality
Limited controls; No equalizer; Lacks ambient listening mode
Le AirPods sono probabilmente il prodotto Apple più riuscito degli ultimi anni, quindi posso capire sia l'attesa per il nuovo modello da parte degli utenti, sia la difficoltà di Apple di migliorare un prodotto che ha ben poco da migliorare.
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.
Really, the Airpods 2 could easily be seen as AirPods v1.5 because Apple hasn't touched the overall design or sound capabilities at all. Heck, there isn't even a new colour to show you've got the new model.
Quick to charge using the included case; Now offers Hey Siri for voice control; Easy to connect thanks to H1 chip
Not great in noisy environments; The same polarising design; Many premium competitors; Can fall out; Expensive
While new features like wireless charging and faster pairing are useful, the AirPods (2019) aren't a significant improvement over their predecessors, so while they're well worth a look if you're buying your first pair of true-wireless buds, if you have the original AirPods it's hard for us to...
Faster pairing; Wireless charging; Hands-free ‘Hey Siri' functionality
Wireless charging case costs extra; Audio hasn't improved; Identical design to the originals
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
For Apple fans, AirPods 2 are still the safe path to wireless freedom
Brilliantly simple setup; Sleek Apple design; Wireless charging; Clear; solid connection; Easy access to Siri
Still no waterproofing or workout features; Upcharge for wireless case; Smoothed-over sound lacks definition
