Airpods Pro itself uses chipH2 which is able to vote 20-bit 48 kHz. This new generation of airpods will maximize audio quality, ANC performance, to additional volume control.

The second generation Airpods Pro with this chargingUSB-C will be sold for US$249 (Rp3.8 million). Although it has been introduced by Apple, this product can only be purchased on September 22.
