Heart rate monitoring and hearing aid functionality will be included in Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation): Report

HIGHLIGHTS

Dual optical detect sensors can be disregarded by AirPods Pro (2nd Generation).

The alleged Apple headphones may have a stem.

The H1 SoC may be included in the headphones.

A comprehensive list of capabilities, including heart rate tracking, hearing aid functionality, and a USB Type-C connector, are purportedly included in the second generation of Apple AirPods Pro. According to information gathered, the publication also released renderings of the rumoured Apple headphones. The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) may have a similar appearance to its predecessor, according to recent renderings and a previous report. Contrary to earlier promises of a stemless design, it also reveals a stem that is comparable to the AirPods Pro of the previous generation.

The H1 SoC in the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) will provide self-adaptive active noise suppression and an enhanced Find My functionality, according to a report from 52Audio. Heart rate monitoring and a USB Type-C connection for quick charging and improved compatibility are two new Apple headphone features. Additionally, hearing aid functionality should be included with the earbuds. This function enables users with hearing impairments to utilise their headphones as hearing aids.

According to the report, heart rate detection on the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) would gather and analyse data from the wearer's inner ear in addition to tracking heart rate to track body temperature. Similar to AirPods (3rd Generation), the earbuds are believed to have similar acoustic properties that offer self-adaptive equalisation, spatial audio for dynamic head tracking, and audio sharing.

According to the publication's drawings, the earphones' charging case would include a USB Type-C connector with several openings on each of its sides. One can see a metal device securing the two bigger apertures on the right side. A speaker at the bottom of the charging case that can play sounds on its own and is compatible with the Find My app is anticipated to be included with the product.

The rumoured Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) True Wireless Stereo headphones will reportedly have a look identical to AirPods Pro, according to an earlier report. The next version AirPods Pro will include a stem, contradicting earlier promises of a stemless design, according to the report, which follows AirPods Pro. According to the allegation, Apple has chosen not to include twin optical detect sensors on the alleged earbuds.
