For your convenience, here’s a short comparison which hopefully will answer all your questions.
A completely new and improved design.
Starting with the biggest and most noticeable change, the design of the new AirPods Pro. Unlike the previous generation models, the new model comes with a design that includes different size ear tips.

Along with IPX4 certification, the new AirPod Pro comes with some additional features.
For better listening experience, the new AirPods Pro comes with active noise cancellation and transparency modes and users can switch between the two just by squeezing the earphone.

With previous-generations giving out some impressive battery backup, here’s how the new model compares.
While the previous-generation AirPods 2 comes with up to 5 hours of playback on a single charge, the newer AirPod Pro comes with only up to 4.5 hours of battery backup.

Here’s how much the new features and design will cost you.
AirPods Pro is priced at ₹24,900 while the AirPods 2 is priced at ₹14,900 with the normal case and ₹18,900 with the wireless charging case.
