Apple AirPods Pro With Active Noise Cancellation Launched For Rs. 24,900

After a series of leaks and speculations, Apple has finally unveiled its next-generation truly wireless earphones -- the Apple AirPods Pro with active noise cancellation. Just like its predecessor, these come in a wireless charging case that also doubles as a battery pack.

The AirPods Pro can be used with an iPhone running on iOS 13.2, iPad running on iPadOS 13.2 or newer version, Apple Watch with WatchOS 6.1, Apple TV with tvOS 13.2, and Mac with macOS 10.15.1. So, if you own an iPhone 6 or below, the new AirPods aren't meant for you.

Apple AirPods Pro Features And Specifications

The latest wireless earphones from Apple are powered by the new H1 chipset with Bluetooth 5.0 technology with support for ten audio cores. The ear tips will be available in three different sizes and are made using flexible silicon for a prolonged comfort fit.

These earphones use a new vent system to equalize the pressure and minimize ear fatigue. To achieve active noise cancellation the earphones use two microphones and software enhancements to remove background noise by creating an equal anti-noise.

The earphone also has adaptive EQ which automatically tunes to sound/music that is being played to offer better sound output. The Apple AirPods Pro also supports a hand-free "Hey-Siri" command that can be used to change music track and change volume.

The earphones itself can last up to 4.5 hours with continues music playback or can offer 3.5 hours of talk time. The case can offer up to 24 hours of battery on a single charge. Besides, a quick charge time of five minutes can offer one hour of listening time or one hour of playback time.

Price And Availability

The Apple AirPods Pro retail for Rs. 24,900 in India and $249 in the US and will be available in select markets from October 30. As of now, there is no information on the date of availability in India.
