AirPods Pro will also allow you to share audio with another friend who has the headphones and is close to your device.
Audio Sharing makes it easy to listen to the same song or watch the same movie with a friend by simply bringing a second pair of AirPods close to iPhone or iPad.
In addition to the new redesign, the AirPods Pro battery life will feature the same five hours of listening time. If you choose to use the Active Noise Cancellation, AirPods Pro will give you four and a half hours of listening time and up to three and a half hours of talk time on a single charge.
