Noise Cancellation
Many of the brands a few years ago where trying to get true wireless earbuds working smoothly, but they ended up to pack many more functions into their shell.Talking about Sony WF-1000X,, it managed to have noise-cancellation technolgy, which everyone were expecting to have with second generation Airpods.

Even Airpods 2 allow you to take such controls in your hand, but includes no physical control buttons. To do so, you would just require to be relied on Siri, the Apple’s voice assistant only.
But, taking the Voice Assistant in talk, it’s still much powerful in compare to physical controls and allow you to request specific things to do, by just a command. Still, the Siri has some limitations as well like it needs a Wi-Fi connection to work, otherwise it can just play music from Apple Music app. The most problematic thing would be, the Siri will force you to speak loud to process your requested control.
In previous version of Airpods, it already had a touch sensitive control for activating Siri. But, in case of Airpods 2, the tech giant simply declined to add such control for music. To activate Siri on the new Airpod version, you would require to say “Hey Siri”, the company says wit will work more fluently that the originals.
Changeable Ear tips
Looking through original Earpods, it seems Apple don’t like to rely on rubber tips for their earbuds, the tradition remains continued even with the newer version. We basically love to have a true wireless earbuds that feel nice and secure in the ears, and a changeable rubber tips probably help us to do so. Using these, we can choose the perfect fit of our ears that keeps the way of using buds ideally. But still, Apple stuck to follow its previous suit, and there’s missing rubber tips on Airpods 2.
