Before you wonder, I want to clear it without any wait – you should buy Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen if you still have the AirPods Pro 1st Gen. Yes, the new AirPods Pro has enough upgrades in it to warrant another hefty investment. It may still look the same but all the updates inside are massive and elevate the user experience to another level. The good part is that it still costs Rs. 26900, the same as its predecessor.
The not-so-good part, however, is that hefty price. The new AirPods Pro 2nd Gen is one of the most expensive TWS earbuds you can buy, and that mounts a lot of responsibilities on its shoulders.

Helping here is noise isolation, which again is crucial on a pair of high-end TWS
