Festive Offer: AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) now available at a discounted price

Along with the iPhone 15 series and a couple of new smartwatches, Apple has updated the 2nd Gen AirPods Pro with a USB-C port as well. And it’s now available at a discounted price in Nepal. So let’s get into the specs, features, availability, and official price of the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) in Nepal.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) Overview:

Design

As aforementioned, the new AirPods Pro comes with a USB-C port instead of Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector. Apple did the same with its latest iPhones too, as a response to the European Union (EU) mandating a USB-C port on different consumer electronic goods like smartphones, wireless earbuds, and more.

Anyway, the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) has a design that is very similar to its predecessor. It has the same stem-style layout and silicone ear tips. While the first-generation AirPods came with three different sizes of rubber tips, there is now a fourth, extra-small ear tip for those with smaller ears.

The charging case has undergone some cosmetic changes, though. It’s sweat and water-resistant, with a lanyard loop to keep it close at hand. And it also has a U1 chip, so users with a U1-enabled iPhone can also use guided directions to find their case. It also has a built-in speaker, making it even easier to find.

Users can personalize their AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) charging case with their own Memoji, such as custom-posed Memoji, Animoji, and a selection of stickers.

Audio

Let’s move on to the audio, where Apple made significant improvements this year. It’s now driven by the new H2 chip which enables better ANC. Per Apple, the new AirPods Pro cancels up to twice as much noise as the previous generation.

There’s also a new transparency mode that listens for and cancels out any loud noises around you. Like in a construction site, as the company hinted at the launch event.

Furthermore, Apple has equipped the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with a new low-distortion audio driver and custom amplifier, allowing the earbuds to cover a wider frequency range. You can now create a personalized spatial audio space to enhance the listening experience.

Moreover, Apple has fitted the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with a new low-distortion audio driver and custom amplifier so the earbuds can cover a wider range of sound frequencies. To make the listening experience more pleasant, you can now create a personalized spatial audio space.

Personalized Spatial Audio

This is an upgrade over the regular spatial audio feature since Apple says “Users perceive sound individually, based on the size and shape of their head and ears.”

As a result, you can now create a dynamic sound space that is tailored to your preferences. In order for this to work, users must first create a personal profile for Spatial Audio using their iPhone’s true depth camera. These guys support 20-bit, 48 kHz Lossless Audio with ultra-low latency when paired with Apple Vision Pro too.

Touch controls

Moreover, one major new feature in this year’s AirPods Pro is to adjust the volume with touch gestures on the earbuds stem. While the first-generation model has touch controls, they cannot be used to change the volume levels.

Battery

The Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) is claimed to provide 1.5 hours more listening time than the first generation. It totals up to 6 hours of music playback time with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

When paired with the case, users can enjoy up to 30 hours of total listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled. Aside from wired charging via the USB-C port, the case now charges with a MagSafe charger and a Qi-certified charging mat.

Apart from switching from Lightning to USB-C connector, Apple has also managed to secure a stronger IP54 rating for both the earbuds and the case. To compare, the original AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) had an IPX4 rating only, protecting them from water splashes but not dust particles.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) Specifications:

  • Dimension (AirPods): 1.22 x 0.86 x 0.94 inches (H x W x D), 5.3 grams (each)
  • Dimension (Charging Case): 1.78 x 2.39 x 0.85 inches (H x W x D), 50.8 grams
  • Chip: H2 (earbuds), Apple U1 (charging case)
  • Sensors: Dual beamforming mics, Inward-facing mic, Skin-detect, Motion-detecting accelerometer, Speech-detecting accelerometer, Touch control
  • Audio: Custom high-excursion Apple driver, Custom high dynamic range amplifier
  • Noise Cancellation: Yes, with ANC and Adaptive Transparency mode
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3
  • Sweat and Water Resistance: Yes, IP54 rating (earbuds and case)
  • Battery Life: Single charge – Up to 6 hours (With case – Up to 30 hours)
  • Charging:
    • Wired: USB-C or Lightning (discontinued)
    • Wireless: MagSafe, Qi-certified chargers

Deal Alert: Get AirPods Pro for discounted price this festive season

Here, you can find the latest price of Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) in Nepal, along with complete overview, full specs, and buy links.

AirPods Pro Overview:

Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room – the design. The AirPods Pro comes in brand new design, with a smaller stem and silicon tips for a tighter fit, making it visually distinctive from its predecessors. Also making their debut are active-noise cancellation and water resistance.

“Fit” was a major complaint on last-gen AirPods. It would fall off pretty easy and was a tad bit uncomfortable on the ears too. Well, Apple has engineered the hell out of it and made the new AirPods Pro more comfortable and one that will hold on to your ears, even when you’re aggressively headbanging to “हामी पनि नाच्नु पर्छ बीच-बीचमा”. That may not be entirely true, but you get the point; it is less likely to fall off your ears.

A better fit

To achieve such a level of fit, Apple has implemented “Silicone Tips“. Thankfully, they come inside the box and you don’t have to purchase them separately! You’re presented with 3 sizes of the silicone/rubber tips: Large, Medium, and Small. A neat feature in iOS, dubbed “Ear Tip Fit Test” tests the optimality of the tips for your ears so you get the best performance.

AirPods Pro eartips size - small - medium - large - fit type - customizable fit

Moving on, the AirPods Pro is sweat and water-resistant due to the IPX4 rating. So, it should protect your AirPods from splashes and slight rain. But don’t go around swimming in your AirPods Pro, or put it to charge in the charging case when wet, because the case isn’t IPX4 rated. Thou hath been warned!

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) makes its debut!

You wouldn’t buy earbuds for noise cancellation, now would you? Particularly because of their form-factor, the earbuds will not be that effective when it comes to filtering out the external noise. But Apple is pushing its new AirPods to feature “Active Noise Cancellation“. The company says that AirPods Pro will “continuously adapt to the geometry of your ear and fit of the ear tips – blocking out the world..” which honestly sounds very promising.

AirPods Pro - active noise cancellation - best bluetooth earbuds - sound quality

The exterior vent (microphone) on the AirPods catches the ambient sound, which is then equaled out against “anti-noise“, thus cutting out the undesired audio frequencies. But what if you need to hear certain things like announcements, or your mother’s rant about your performance at the school? Well, you can just press the “Force Sensor” for a second or more which toggles on the “Transparency Mode“. This allows for the external sound to pass through the AirPods.

Personally, I feel that the force sensor should’ve been placed vertically below the external microphone. This way, you could just use one finger to get a hold of the sensor, rather than having to use two fingers to comfortably access it. But unsurprisingly, Apple is trading off eased accessibility for clean design.

Audio performance is commendable as well. Apple’s custom high-excursion driver gives you clear sound and decent bass. Its adaptive equalizer, tunes the music to the shape of your ear? What? According to the company, “An inward-facing microphone hears the sound as you do. AirPods Pro then fine-tune the audio by adjusting the mid and low frequencies.” Sounds exciting I know, but we’ll know how much of that is actually true once we get to test it when the AirPods Pro arrives in our studio through some reseller or distributor in Nepal.

Better audio

On the processing front, AirPods Pro has Apple’s proprietory H1-based System in Package. The 10 audio cores help deliver low audio processing latency. For clearer calls, it has an expanded mesh microphone port.

Now let’s talk battery life. Apple says the AirPods Pro delivers up to 24 hours of battery using the charging case. Compared to the last-gen of AirPods, the new AirPods’ charging case comes in a wider form-factor. On a single charge, it lasts for about 4.5 hours or one Tool album. Similarly, 5 minutes of charge can give you enough juice for 1 hour of playback.

The Beats Studio Buds look nothing like the brand’s earlier true wireless earphones, the Powerbeats Pro. It has an in-ear design that is comparable to the AirPods Pro. However, unlike the AirPods lineup, it lacks an extended stem. The oval-shaped case has a single USB-C connection on the bottom and a status LED on the front.

Beats Studio Buds Design

Each bud weighs 5.1 grams and comes with three sizes of silicone ear tips. Likewise, it has an IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance. The Studio Buds come in three different colors: Red, Black, and White.

Audio

Over on the audio front, these earbuds support active noise cancellation and are driven by 8.2mm dual-element diaphragm drivers. These drivers are paired with a two-chamber acoustic design that, according to Beats, provides “excellent stereo separation and low harmonic distortion across the frequency curve”.

Furthermore, the Studio Buds enable Apple’s Spatial Audio for a more immersive and cinematic audio experience. However, the feature is only available to Apple Music subscribers. Similarly, you can access the Transparency mode by long-pressing the “b” button. With this feature, you can hear what’s going on around you without having to take off the earbuds.

Beats Studio Buds Controls

Beats claims that its new earphones can last up to eight hours on a single charge. Furthermore, the case delivers two extra rounds of charge. With ANC turned on, the earbuds have a claimed battery life of up to five hours.

Other than this, Studio Buds comes with support for iOS and Android. These are the first pair of buds from Beats that have support for Apple’s Find My and Find my Device on Android. Using this, users can track the last location of these earbuds and find them if they are within the Bluetooth range.

Samsung T9 Portable SSD official with double the read/write speed of T7

Samsung has continued its storage series with the new T9 Portable Solid State Drive (SSD). The series naming is quite unconventional, though, with every number skipping from odd to odd and omitting all the even numbers in between.

Moving on, Hangu Sohn, Vice President of the Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics, quotes:

As high-resolution photography and 4K videos become increasingly popular, professional content creators are often tasked with transferring large volumes of data.

Hence, this T9 SSD provides faster read/write speeds as well as a durable SSD. Without further ado, let’s get into what the Samsung T9 Portable SSD brings, as well as its expected price in Nepal.

Samsung T9 Portable SSD Overview:

Design and Durability

Samsung T9 Portable SSD carries a similar rugged design to the T7 Shield. The drive itself has carbon patterns on its body and a curved stripe along its diagonal. All of the upgrades (which we will get through) make it weigh 122 grams, much heavier than both the T7 (58g) and the T7 Shield (98g). However, the product is only available in Black.

Samsung T9 Portable SSD Design

Plus, T9 has IEC 62368-1 for minimal heat transfer while working with the SSD. Samsung Thermal Guard retains the minimal performance drop caused by overheating. Moreover, it can even withstand up to 3 meters of drop without any hesitation. Samsung is providing them with 5 years of warranty too, which means getting damaged is not a problem here.

USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Interface

As for the read/write, the Samsung T9 SSD brings up to 2,000 megabytes per second (MB/s) of transfer speed. The speed is almost twice as much as its predecessor, which could only get 1,050MB/s at max. This is all thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface, an upgrade over USB 3.2 Gen 2 in T7 SSDs. For reference, transferring the whole SSD worth of data (4TB variation) takes less than 35 seconds on this storage device.

So, what are Gen 2×2 and Gen 2? What’s going on here?

As you may know, the Gen denotes the generation. Both being the second generation, the USB with Gen 2×2 is two times faster than Gen 2 (20 Gbps compared to 10 Gbps). Hence, the latter is also known as USB 3.2 Gen 2×1.

Rest of the specs

One thing to note is that the T9 supports both Type C-to-C and Type C-to-A cables, which might come in handy. Additionally, the SSD comes in three storage options: 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB. It also marks the release of Samsung Magician v.8.0, which integrates with all of Samsung’s software and expands its OS support to Windows, Mac, and Android.

Samsung T9 Portable SSD Rest

Samsung T9 Portable SSD Specifications:

  • Dimensions: 88×60×14 mm
  • Weight: 122g
  • Durability: Drop resistant (up to 3 meters), IEC 62368-1, Samsung Thermal Guard
  • Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps), backwards compatible
  • Transfer speed: 2000MB/s
  • OS: Windows, MacOS, Android
  • Connectivity: USB C-to-C, USB C-to-A
  • Software: Samsung Magician
  • Warranty: 5 years of limited warranty
  • Colors: Black

Samsung T9 Portable SSD Price in Nepal (Expected):

This storage device is officially available in the US starting at USD 139.99 for 1TB,  USD 239.99 for 2TB variation, and USD 439.99 for 4TB. We expect the Samsung T9 Portable SSD to drop here in Nepal at the price of NPR 28,500/NPR 42,500/NPR 70,000 for 1TB/2TB/4TB variation, respectively.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 announced with 500 days battery, AR Find mode

Two years after the release of SmartTag and SmartTag+, Samsung has decided to release its second generation. The tag looks completely different from their older version and boats nearly 2 years of battery life on power-saving mode. So, let’s get into the recently announced Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2, its specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Overview:

What are tracker tags?

If you don’t know about AirTags, the tracker tag is a small gadget made for finding lost objects. If you are insecure about some items, baggage, or even pets getting lost, these trackers can get your job done.

So how it works is: whenever a compatible device passes by, it uses Bluetooth to communicate with that device. Then these devices send the actual location of the tracker to the cloud which eventually crawls its way up to the actual owner’s app.

Redesign

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 features a complete redesign compared to its predecessors. Instead of a square, the company has gone with an oblong shape. The hole is much bigger, so much so that you can even insert your finger inside. Further, with a solid metal loop, the tag can attach to larger handles in bags and luggage. Also, the IP67 rating comes in handy when the SmartTag has to face water or dust.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Design

Improved Tracking

Building up from its previous version, the Galaxy SmartTag2 inherits both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) capabilities. Much like the Plus version, Augmented Reality (AR) Find technology helps the user to visually find the tracker using the phone’s camera in conjunction with AR.

Additionally, there is a better Compass View, pointing arrows to show the direction and the distance of SmartTag2 with regard to the user. However, this mode can only be accessed using Galaxy phones supporting UWB. The SmartThings Find app now features a full-screen map view and, according to Samsung, an intuitive interface for easier tracking, which brings us to the next point.

SmartThings Find app

SmartThings Find app gets a brand-new update alongside the release of SmartTag2. This allows the addition of shortcuts for newly registered tags for easier access. Moreover, the app also automatically re-syncs the tag to your Galaxy device using a Samsung account.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 SmartThings Find

Battery and others

Under normal circumstances, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 lasts 500 days at max. Nevertheless, this time around, this tracking device also gets a separate power-saving mode that makes it last 700 days (nearly 2 years).

Users also have the choice to input their contact details in case they lose the item in some way. If any other person finds it, they can scan the SmartTag2 to retrieve those details of the owner and reach them, all thanks to Lost Mode.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Specifications:

  • Design: Oblong shaped
  • IP rating: IP67
  • Connections: Bluetooth LE, UWB
  • Features: AR Find, Compass view, Full-screen map, Lost Mode
  • App: SmartThings Find
  • Battery: 500 days (normal mode), 700 days (power-saving mode)

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Price in Nepal

The newest tag from Samsung costs USD 30 globally. This means the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 might slide into the Nepali market at the price of NPR 5000 or more. This is a pure assumption and might change at launch.
