AirPods Pro 2 review: fantastic wireless earbuds for Apple users

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 brought all-new features, but notably no price increase from the original AirPods Pro released in 2019, while competitors got more expensive. A new H2 chip powers these true wireless earbuds bringing greater sonic performance and excellent noise cancellation, as well as improved battery life. They're not perfect for Android users, but we were absorbed by the performance on offer here – it’s a hugely worthwhile upgrade from Apple.

Great noise cancellation; Super sound and Spatial Audio quality; Longer battery life

Lack of alternative colors; Not ideal for Android users; Average battery life

Absolutely not worth it

Very unhappy. Buggy as hell and not working as expected. Doesnt consistently read messages to me and took ages to work properly with my phone. Spent 6hours on phone to Apple yesterday and issues still not resolved. The AirPods will not pair at all with my new Samsung TV and this is now a known problem around the world with no sign of a fix. I basically cant use them for what I bought them for
