Apple Enhances AirPods Pro with New Features
Apple never fails to amaze us with its constant innovation and updates. The company’s latest firmware update for the second-generation AirPods Pro brings exciting new features that further enhance the wireless earbuds.
One of the headline additions is Adaptive Audio, which utilizes the H2 chip in the AirPods Pro to dynamically blend transparency mode and active noise cancellation (ANC) based on your surroundings. This groundbreaking technology automatically adjusts the noise control settings throughout the day, seamlessly adapting to different environments. Whether you’re in a loud coffee shop or sitting near a noisy air conditioner, the earbuds will intelligently increase the level of noise cancellation to combat the external noise. The transition is so smooth that you won’t even notice the adjustment happening.
Another new feature is Personalized Volume, which uses machine learning to fine-tune your media experience based on environmental conditions and listening preferences. Over time, the AirPods Pro will learn your preferences and automatically adjust the volume to provide a customized audio experience. Although the adjustment may not be immediately noticeable, this hands-off approach ensures a personalized and tailored audio experience as you move from one place to another.
Conversation Awareness is another handy addition to the AirPods Pro. This feature automatically lowers the volume or pauses media when you start talking, focusing on voices in front of you and reducing background noise. Unlike some other similar features on the market, Apple’s Conversation Awareness returns to your previous volume level within seconds after it no longer detects your voice or the person you’re speaking to. This makes it perfect for quick conversations without the need to manually pause or adjust the volume.
To access these new features, Apple has made changes to the AirPods options in the Control Center. You can easily enable Adaptive Audio, ANC, transparency mode, or turn off noise control altogether. Additionally, Apple has added a mute function to the AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and the most recent AirPods models. Simply press the stem or the Digital Crown on the AirPods Max to mute or unmute yourself during calls. The clear visual cues and audible chimes ensure you know which microphone state you’re in.
These updates are not limited to the second-generation AirPods Pro. Apple has also improved automatic switching between its various devices. This means faster and more reliable transitions when switching between listening to music on your Mac and taking a call on your iPhone. Developers of video and voice-calling apps can also implement this functionality through CallKit on iOS.
It’s incredible to see Apple continuously improving its products, even outside of the annual iOS refresh. The additions of Adaptive Audio, Personalized Volume, and Conversation Awareness make interacting with AirPods Pro even more intuitive and hands-free. With these enhanced features, you can spend less time physically pressing buttons and still enjoy a customized and immersive audio experience.
To enjoy these new features, make sure to update your AirPods Pro firmware by downloading the latest iOS 17 update. The firmware update will automatically install when your AirPods Pro are in close proximity to your iPhone.
Apple truly knows how to innovate and enhance the user experience, and these updates to the AirPods Pro are yet another testament to their commitment to excellence. So, get ready to indulge in an even more immersive and convenient audio experience with your AirPods Pro.
