In other hardware improvements is a USB-C connection and larger battery capacity, which allows the headphones to be used for 50 hours continuously on a single charge which is incredible.
Bluetooth connectivity has improved with multipoint pairing available which can connect to multiple devices at once alongside a low-latency mode, which syncs better with movies/tv/games.
This low-latency mode plus EQ, L/R volume balance, choice of voice assistant, misplaced headphone location and change of codecs is changeable via the A-T Connect app which saves the selection inside the headphone itself.
