How to Use Apple New Airpods Pro with Noise Cancellation

Apple Airpods Pro with Noise Cancellation

Undoubtedly, Apple New AirPods Pro With Noise Cancellation system sets it apart from the other normal Airpods. They use special microphones to block the sound around you which subsequently helps you to focus on your music or work. As soon as you plug in the AirPods in your ears, the active noise cancelling immediately starts working.

However, Apple gives you complete control over the noise cancellation setting via different methods. The noise cancellation feature can be turned off or on using the AirPods themselves, through Settings or Control Center. Additionally, you can perform a test to check whether you are following the optimal ear tips. In this story, you will get to learn all the guides for Apple New AirPods Pro With Noise Cancellation.

Note: When the noise cancellation is turned off, it means that Transparency mode is turned on. This allows the microphone to catch the external sounds rather than blocking them out. 

Unlike the normal AirPods, AirPods Pro features rubbery ear tips which help them perform “passive noise cancellation”. This is like that you have something stuffed in your ears and you get no sounds from outside. So, that's why transparency mode is so useful. 

Apple New AirPods Pro With Noise Cancellation - How it Works?

Being Apple's first in-ear headphones with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), AirPods Pro have an adaptable design. They are designed to compatibly fit into the shape of your ear. Consequently, the shape blocks the complete sounds outside and helps you focus on what you're listening to. As ANC is activated, an outward-facing microphone on each earbud starts to detect external sound. This sound is canceled by corresponding inverted audio frequencies before it reaches your ears.

Unlike previous generation AirPods, ‌AirPods Pro‌ is available in three sizes with silicone customizable tips. These tips are perfect to optimize the ANC feature, hence ensuring that every pair is the right fit for your ears.
