Once rolled out, your iPhone will show an "Adaptive Audio" option in the audio settings for paired AirPods, beside ANC and Transparency modes. The Adaptive Audio feature for AirPods Pro 2 will be available starting later this year. The feature will appear in the audio settings menu/shortcut ![]() It either improves voice capture for conversations or reduces noise for loud engines. Using external noise, the new ability determines the required amount of audio mix. The AirPods Pro 2 is getting "Adaptive Audio," which will provide a dynamic mix of ANC and Transparency modes based on the surroundings. Adaptive Audio for an intelligent mix of ANC, Transparency modesĪpple took a bit of time to announce an AirPods software update list at WWDC. While the AirPods developer beta is now available for subscribers, the new features will only be available to the general public later this year. The updates discussed at this year's event focus on improving audio quality, fixing bugs, and enhancing existing features on the AirPods. Why does this story matter?Īpple has followed its long tradition of announcing new software features for the AirPods at its WWDC keynote. Here's how the new features will make the earbuds much smarter. Interestingly, the tech giant did not forget the AirPods, and previewed Adaptive Audio, along with seamless switching, and more for its TWS wearables. The company also made several announcements related to its next-generation OS line-up at the software-focused event. It’d be nice if Apple made this an actual option for AirPods Pro, or let you use Shortcuts to automate these features-say, pausing audio when I switch into Transparency mode–but for the moment, these will have to suffice.Jun 06, 2023, 06:36 pm 3 min read The Adaptive Audio feature will start rolling out later this year (Photo credit: Apple)Īpple's primary highlight for WWDC 2023, was the Vision Pro headset. Now, whenever I’m stepping up to the counter to grab something I ordered or paying at a cashier, I can just say “Hey Siri, conversation mode.” And, when I’m done, I can tell Siri “Back to Audio” to pick up right where I left off. I debated creating a single shortcut to toggle between the two modes, but it proved a little trickier than anticipated to detect the current headphones audio mode, so to keep thing simple, I stuck with the two shortcut method. (You can download the shortcuts at the links above, though they are easy enough to re-create on one’s own.) The second is Back to Audio, which does the reverse: turns on noise cancellation and then resumes audio. Seems like it should be easier to do this, doesn’t it? Well, thanks to the power of Shortcuts, it can be! I’ve created two simple shortcuts: the first I call Conversation Mode, which both pauses the currently playing audio on my iPhone and switches my AirPods Pro to transparency mode. I’ve gotten accustomed to using Siri to tell my AirPods Pro to pause the audio I’m listening to and then to switch them into Transparency Mode so I can have a conversation without having to pull out the earbuds every time. That said, one thing I get annoyed by using my AirPods Pro is when I need to, say, step into the convenience store to buy something. My AirPods Pro have become my constant companion on these perambulations, and I really appreciate not only how they let me block out the noise around me, but also that I can use the Hey Siri feature to easily respond to text messages or control music playback. ![]() I try to get outside every day, not just to close the rings on my Apple Watch, but also because I need a break from staring at screens. One of my only opportunities for solace these days is taking walks. Note: This story has not been updated since 2020. Automate This: Conversation mode for the AirPods Pro
