Apple's AirPods category gets a new addition. On Monday night Apple silently launched the all-new AirPods Pro globally. The AirPods Pro comes to India as well. In India, the AirPods Pro is slightly expensive when compared to the U.S pricing. In India, Apple launches the AirPods Pro with a price of Rs 24,900. In the U.S the AirPods Pro will sell at $249. AirPods Pro is already available to order on apple.com and the Apple Store app and will be available starting Wednesday, October 30.

The new AirPods Pro comes with a new design and some top-notch features. The in-ear AirPods Pro is lightweight and comes bundled with three different sizes of soft, flexible silicone ear tips. Apple says that the silicone ear tips provide a comfortable fit and is capable of delivering an immersive sound experience to the users. The AirPods Pro is sweat- and water-resistant.

One of the key features of the new AirPods Pro is its Active Noise Cancellation. Apple says, "The AirPods Pro uses two microphones combined with advanced software to continuously adapt to each individual ear and headphone fit." The company explains that the first microphone is outward-facing and detects external sound and analyzes environmental noise. It then creates an equivalent anti-noise that cancels out background noise before it reaches the ear. The second microphone is inward-facing and cancels the remaining noise. Apple claims that noise cancellation continuously adapts the sound signal 200 times per second. The Active Noise Cancellation feature helps remove background noise and provide a uniquely customized, superior noise-cancelling experience to the users, says Apple.

The AirPods Pro comes with Transparency Mode that provides users with "the option to simultaneously listen to music while still hearing the environment around them". This feature helps users while they are on the run or driving or stuck in traffic. Apple also allows users to switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes. Users can switch between the two modes with the help of the force sensor feature. The force sensor also makes it easy for the users to play music, pause or skip tracks, pick calls and so on.

Apple AirPods Pro comes with Adaptive EQ that automatically tunes the low- and mid-frequencies of the music. Adaptive EQ allows AirPods Pro to offer superior sound quality. On the hardware front, the Apple AirPods Pro includes H1 chip that enables real-time noise cancellation and delivers high-quality sound using adaptive technology. The H1 chip also allows the AirPods Pro users to respond to hands-free "Hey Siri" requests.

Apple claims that AirPods Pro is capable of delivering up to four and a half hours of listening time and up to three and a half hours of talk time on a single charge. "Through additional charges from the Wireless Charging Case, AirPods Pro deliver over 24 hours of listening time or over 18 hours of talk time," says Apple. AirPods Pro also comes with some other features like Ear Tip Fit Test, Voice-activated Siri, Audio Sharing, among others.
