ive owned all versions of airpods normal pro max etc my favorite one for the longest time was the airpod pros version 1 this product is the airpods pro version 2 it took me a while to convince myself to buy these but after testing both sidebyside i noticed a few very noticeable featuresanc is improved i can say this with certainty i work hobbies that at times involve loud machinery and fellas yelling at each other i can tell the difference in the anc level it simply works better than before and it has this additional thing that detects vocal conversations and adapts the v1 pros didnt have thatsound quality is minorly improved  i have pretty good ears and the bass sounds a bit better with these unfortunately thats about all i can say about thatbattery and compatibility vastly improved usbc charging has been long overdue the wireless charging works better than v1 too v1 heats up quite a bit and seems to charge endlessly using the official wireless apple charger v2 doesnt have that issue the batteries in the case and pods are nearly 2x better from what i am seeing so farquality hasnt declined this one is important to me i buy apple products mainly because of their build quality and how well they operate with each other these pair nearly effortlessly with the iphone and the findmy function has vastly improved making the case able to produce a sound to locate with has been a game changer previously with the older airpod pros if you lost them while in the case you couldnt locate them with the findmy app because they had no way to produce a noise whilst in the case i am so glad they improved upon this quality aspect and the airpods quality continues to rise without noticeable compromisesapplecare nothing has really changed about this and thats a good thing applecare works well and i recommend it i use it on all of my apple devices i was happy to see that they made it even easier than before to get applecare bundled with the actual purchase of the airpods before you had to manually activate it and that was a bit inconvienent plus people would forget they had applecare and leave their device unprotected because they didnt activate it glad to hear they addressed all that as welllasting technology my final point is most important to me i could ramble on and on about this part but long story short i use these all the time and im not joking around 6075 of the time i have these in even without music playing if youre the type of person who uses these a lot then going from v1 to v2 is a nobrainer but if you do not use them constantly like i do dont worry thats probably good for you and if youre not tethered to them like i am then you should probably wait for the newer v3 ones that are coming out sometime next yearthe airpod pros v2 might not be an impressive upgrade for audiophiles but for almost everyone else the extra bells  whistles make up for the marginally improved sound quality and make it worth the extra cost
