With the launch of iPhones 15not only smartphones gained connectors USB-C, but also the second generation AirPods Pro and even the classic EarPods. Launched in 2012 with a 3.5mm input, Apple’s wired headphones have already gained a Lightning connector, with the launch of the iPhones 7 — the first to abandon the old connection.
The news is that, as discovered by Mac Otakarathe new headphones have audio support Lossless, as well as the new AirPods Pro when used with the Vision Pro. When connecting the headphones to a MacBook Air (M1) and accessing the Audio MIDI area, in Settings, the vehicle was able to verify that the EarPods with USB-C support audio from 16-bit/44.1kHz at 24-bit. The website thus confirmed that the headphones have a DAC that supports 48kHz playback.
The audio Lossless Apple Music’s maximum playback resolution is 24bit/48kHz and, in the case of high resolution, 24bit/192kHz. This way, according to the vehicle, it is possible to use the headphones to listen to music and other content with higher audio quality, if you prefer wired headphones.
Furthermore, the company’s wired headphones have a much more affordable price (R$220) than any of the AirPods, which surpass the R$1,000 barrier in Brazil. This is, therefore, a way of making the resource more popular, different from how it is characterized in general, being something “for a few”.
Even so, it is important to note that, as it is a simpler product, it is very likely that you will not notice any difference when listening to high quality music with the EarPods, since the internal hardware remains unchanged. Ironically, a model that no feature support even when used via cable (Lightning) are the AirPods Maxthe most expensive in the line.
