The AirPods 2 are set to have more features and be more expensive. These include better noise compensation and moisture protection. The wireless range is also set to be increased. It is also possible to integrate biometric sensors. According to the latest rumors, the popular earbuds will be equipped with Bluetooth 5.0, a pedometer and a heart rate monitor.
According to the new database entry, the AirPods 2 with model numbers A2031 and A2032 have passed the Bluetooth qualification process.
