Apple Airpod 2nd Generation VS Apple Airpod Pro which is Better ??

If you're looking in the market for a pair of new wireless headphones and you also happen to own an Apple smartphone or tablet, chances are the Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro are your choice.

But the big question is are they worth buying over the standard AirPods? Alternatively, if you already own a pair of the AirPods, is it worth upgrading? Or should you wait for the AirPods 3? Read on, and we'll explain which we think is better.

The Apple AirPods Pro sits above Apple's second-generation AirPods. They're priced at £199, so demand quite a premium over the £119 AirPods 2, but they do boast an all-new design, active noise-cancellation and some unique features. Currently we are doing special promotion in particular manufacturer refurbished stock in Airpod 2nd Generation offer price.

Here are key difference between Apple Airpod 2nd Generation and  Apple Airpod Pro as below

  1.  The Airpod 2nd Generation doesn't have any form of noise-cancelling tech where The AirPods Pro are active noise cancellation that is continuously adjusted 200 times per second. Noises such as the thrum of a train are more or less completely eradicated, while less predictable sounds such as office chatter are reduced to a whisper.
  2.  The 2nd Gen AirPods deliver up to five hours battery life, with another 19 hours added by the charging case. The AirPods Pros claim a little less – 4.5 hours – plus 19 hours from the charging case. (To get the maximum battery life out of the AirPods Pro, you'll need to disable noise-cancelling.)
  3.  In theory, the standard AirPods should fit any ear thanks to Apple's 'universal fit'. In reality, that's not always the case, and there's no way to adjust the fit if they do feel a bit loose. However The AirPods Pro offers a much more customisable fit, with silicone tips in a range of sizes. And if you’re not sure which to use, Apple will help you find the correct fit thanks to the built-in 'Ear Tip Fit Test' which you can run once the headphones are in place.
  4.  Thanks to a combination of Apple's splendid H1 chip and Bluetooth 5.0, both the AirPods and AirPods Pro offer flawless wireless performance and supremely quick pairing.
  5.  Both the Apple AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro can be controlled with the power of your voice – Apple's  H1 chip enables the buds to act upon any “hey Siri” voice commands. The AirPods are touch-sensitive; touch once to play or answer a phone call, touch twice to skip a song, and so on. The AirPods Pro has a small ridge on each stem which you squeeze to switch noise-canceling modes, skip tracks, pause music and answer calls. One disappointment common to both AirPods is that Siri is the only method for adjusting volume without reaching into your pocket for your phone's controls.
  6. Apple's second generation AirPods brought extra loudness and a touch more sonic sophistication to proceedings. As with most Apple products, the sound is clean, neutral and nicely balanced. Like the pricer Pros, the standard AirPods don't have a ton of bass, but if you like sparkling vocals, they're great pound-for-pound performers. As for the Pros, there's no artificial boosting of bass or treble enhancement. The midrange is where the AirPods Pros really shine, with plenty of texture and detail, with no hint of brightness. They sound richer and fuller than the AirPods 2 and dig out a bit more detail. We did find the Pros performed slightly better with the noise-cancelling switched off, though. Overall, the Pros are the best-performing AirPods we've heard to date,
