Better AirPods 2 Battery Life. One of the biggest reasons is better battery life. AirPods 2 battery life is rated at twice as long for phone calls thanks to the H1 chip. AirPods 2 now offer three hours of talk time on a full charge and an additional two hours of talk time with 15 minutes of charging. That's a massive upgrade from the original AirPods.
