If you've somehow found yourself immersed in the Apple ecosystem, you've probably been told to get a pair of AirPods Pro (2nd generation) – better known as the AirPods Pro 2.
"What's so great about them?", you might ask. And while that's a valid question, the performance and sheer quality these tiny earbuds offer put it in a class of its own. And right now, you can get a pair for a nine-percent discount at S$327 (US$242.88) on Amazon Singapore.
While we won't harp on too much about the technical specifications of the Apple AirPods Pro 2, read on to find out why they just might be the perfect, all-rounder pair of earbuds to add to your existing Apple ecosystem, even if you already have the first-generation AirPods Pro.
Small but mighty.

First, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way if you want to know the key specs. Apple's AirPods Pro 2 features active noise-cancellation (ANC). Combine this with Spatial Audio, and it'll feel like you're right there in the studio when listening to your favorite jams. But it's best that you try it out for yourself to really get a good feel of the wonders that Spatial Audio can do.
As part of the Spatial Audio function, users can choose between two different listening modes: Fixed and Head Track. While the former outputs audio to both earbuds evenly, the Head Track mode keeps tabs on the position of your head in relation to the output device (your iPhone, for example).
Depending on where your head is facing, different levels of audio will be piped into each AirPod, making it feel like you don't have anything in your ears, and you're just listening to music on some really good speakers. This makes for a super-immersive listening experience, especially if you're into mobile games.
Vastly improved ergonomics.

Let's say you already have the first-generation AirPods Pro. Would moving to the AirPods Pro 2 really be considered a worthy upgrade? Absolutely. The difference is even more apparent if you're currently using the regular AirPods 3 or older.
On the previous AirPods Pro, you could only adjust the volume, skip/repeat tracks, and perform other functions by cycling through different menus on your iPhone. With AirPods Pro 2, all these controls are conveniently integrated within the AirPods themselves, with the stems featuring haptic touch engines that allow for volume control and other convenient functions like picking up phone calls, activating ANC, and more.
Additionally, the charging case comes packed with MagSafe technology, which means you'll be able to charge your AirPods Pro 2 using a conventional MagSafe charger, and yes, even an Apple Watch charger. Of course, if wireless charging isn't your cup of tea, you can still enjoy wired charging with the included USB-C-to-Lightning cable.
And speaking of charging, you'll be able to enjoy up to 30 hours of listening time with the MagSafe charging case and ANC activated. Perfect for long road trips, busy flights, and trips to the gym – a place where the AirPods Pro 2 feel very comfortable due to their sweat and water-resistent design.
