Supported AirPods models receive new mute controls, allowing users to press the stem – or the Digital Crown on AirPods Max – to instantly mute or unmute themselves during calls. Automatic switching between Apple devices is also faster. The Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Personalized Volume features remain exclusive to AirPods Pro (2nd Generation).
Adaptive Audio intelligently switches between Transparency mode and Active Noise Cancellation depending on environmental sounds. Personalized Volume dynamically adjusts the volume and other preferences for users using machine learning models. Conversation Awareness instantly lowers the volume of your music and enhances transparency feedback when conversing with others while wearing AirPods.
