H2 Chip in the heart of Airpods Pro 2

A new feature is also present which is called personalized audio, where you can scan your ear with the camera of your iPhone and the earbuds will tune the audio to give the optimal sound to your ears.

Apple isn’t the first company to do this, it is already implemented by Sony and some other companies in their headphones and earbuds.
