The AirPods Pro 2 are still legit in 2025 - but only under these specific conditions
"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."
"Now that the AirPods Pro 3 are on the market, the AirPods Pro 2 are often discounted, with prices ranging from $169 to as low as $139 during major sales like Black Friday. Although I've been wearing the AirPods Pro 3 since their release, I've revisited the AirPods Pro 2, as they were my daily driver for several years. So, you may wonder if buying them is still a good idea in 2025."
AirPods Pro 3 introduced upgrades including in-ear heart rate monitoring, an upgraded ultra-wideband chip for device tracking, and two additional hours of continuous battery life, plus the first waterproof design. AirPods Pro 2 are frequently discounted in 2025, often priced between $139 and $169 during major sales. Both Pro 2 and Pro 3 use the H2 audio chip, enabling many identical software features such as Head Gestures, Hearing Aid mode, sleep detection, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation, and Adaptive Audio. The primary native software difference is Pro 3's in-ear heart rate monitoring integration with the iPhone Fitness app.
