The Magic Leap 2 features built-in [[spatial audio]] speakers positioned above the ears, which the company calls "Sound Field Audio." This system provides directional sound without covering the ears, allowing users to hear both virtual content and their physical environment simultaneously. The device also includes a four-microphone array for voice commands and communication.<ref name="audio">{{cite web|url=https://vrx.vr-expert.com/magic-leap-2-review/|title=Magic Leap 2 Review - VRX by VR Expert|date=March 15, 2023}}</ref>

* [[WiFi 6]] for high-speed wireless networking

* [[Bluetooth 5.0]] for connecting to peripherals and smartphones

The Magic Leap 2 runs on [[Lumin OS]], a custom operating system based on the [[Android Open Source Project]] (AOSP) Android 10. This foundation provides compatibility with existing Android development tools while incorporating Magic Leap's specialized features for [[augmented reality]].<ref name="os">{{cite web|url=https://www.magicleap.com/newsroom/new-capabilities-on-magic-leap-2-increase-enterprise-collaboration-and-productivity|title=New Capabilities on Magic Leap 2 Increase Enterprise Collaboration and Productivity|date=August 3, 2023}}</ref>
