Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation Now Available at Special Price in Nepal

Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Generation Now in Nepal

Apple has launched the second generation AirPods Pro in Nepal, bringing major upgrades over the previous model. The new design features a smaller stem and interchangeable silicone tips that improve comfort and stability, addressing common fit issues from the first generation. The earbuds now include active noise cancellation and an IPX4 water resistance rating, making them more suitable for active use and light weather conditions.

Enhanced Fit and Comfort

To tackle the fit problems of the original AirPods Pro, Apple introduced silicone tips in three sizes—small, medium, and large—which come in the box at no extra cost. An iOS feature called the "Ear Tip Fit Test" helps users find the optimal tip size for maximum performance. The IPX4 rating protects against splashes and brief rain, though the charging case is not rated for water resistance.

Active Noise Cancellation and Audio Improvements

A major highlight of this release is the addition of active noise cancellation, which uses an external vent microphone to capture ambient noise and generate anti-noise signals to cancel it out. Users can switch to transparency mode by holding the force sensor to allow outside sounds, such as announcements or conversations, to pass through. Apple’s custom high-excursion driver delivers clear audio with rich bass, and an adaptive equalizer adjusts sound based on the unique shape of each ear.

Performance and Battery Life

The AirPods Pro utilizes Apple’s H1-based System in Package, providing low latency for audio processing. Call quality is enhanced with an expanded mesh microphone array. Battery life reaches up to 24 hours with the charging case, offering around 4.5 hours of playback on a single charge. A quick five-minute charge provides roughly one hour of listening time.

Price and Availability in Nepal

While the official price for the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation is NPR 38,000, a festive season discount allows buyers to purchase them for NPR 32,900 through authorized Apple retailers. Prices may vary slightly across stores—Oliz Store lists them at NPR 38,500 and EvoStore at NPR 42,000, all inclusive of 13% VAT. The earbuds are now available for purchase in Nepal.
