Apple today announced the new AirPods Pro 2 wireless earbuds at its Far Out event that was streamed live from the company’s Cupertino, California headquarters.
Pricing was announced as $249 / £249. Preorders start on September 9, and shipping date is September 23.

Magsafe charging is an option with the new AirPods Pro, and you can use the charger that comes with the Apple Watch. For the new model, battery life has been upgraded to 6 hours for a single charge and 30 hours total listening time with case charges.

It’s also used for precision finding, with the case’s speaker emitting a beep when the iOS Find My feature is used.
