The Powerbeats Pro 2 has several upgrades, including a smaller case, wireless charging, adaptive EQ, spatial audio, and noise-canceling and transparency modes. Apple's Beats ownership is fully displayed through the Powerbeats Pro 2, which uses the same chip as Apple's AirPods Pro 2. The H2 chip lends the Powerbeats Pro 2 more effective noise cancellation, enhanced audio processing, stable Bluetooth connections, spatial audio, and more efficient power consumption.
A tell-tale sign that a company is phasing out a product is when it becomes incompatible with the latest software updates. However, the AirPods Pro 3 share the same H2 audio chip as the AirPods Pro 2, which is responsible for processing advanced software features. As a result, the two models have many of the same software features. Like the AirPods Pro 3, the AirPods Pro 2's features include Head Gestures, Hearing Aid mode, sleep detection, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation, and Adaptive Audio.
