When connected to a Vision Pro headset
In addition to new smartphones and watches, Apple introduced the updated AirPods Pro 2 headphones the day before yesterday. The new version received a case with USB-C, but that’s not all. Specifically, the headphones boast support for 20-bit lossless audio at 48 kHz and ultra-low latency when connecting the headphones to Apple’s new Vision Pro headset. It turned out that only the updated version of AirPods Pro 2 will have this feature.
Just a year has passed, and Apple has turned AirPods Pro 2 into a “pumpkin”
Yes, regular AirPods Pro 2 with a case with a Lightning port will not receive Lossless audio support with any update. There may be hardware differences, but it cannot be ruled out that this is simply a decision by Apple to sell more headphones.
At the same time, the original AirPods Pro 2 came out only a year ago, and the third generation, will be released no earlier than a year later, but it turns out that the original version is now inferior to the updated one.
Let us remind you that the updated modification also received moisture protection (IP54).
