Apple’s AirPods Max and AirPods Pro headphones boast impressive active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode capabilities. ANC effectively blocks external sounds, creating an immersive audio experience. Transparency mode, on the other hand, allows ambient noises to filter through, keeping you aware of your surroundings. You can seamlessly switch between ANC, transparency mode, and Off using either the headphones themselves or your connected iPhone.
To control noise cancellation from the headphones, simply press the flat silver button located on the right earcup of AirPods Max or press and hold the force sensor on the stem of either AirPod Pro. For AirPods Pro, you can also choose Adaptive Audio, which automatically adjusts ANC and transparency mode based on your environment.
To make adjustments using your iPhone, connect your AirPods and open the Settings app. Touch and hold the volume slider until additional controls appear, then select the Noise Control option. Here, you can switch between ANC, transparency mode, and Off.
Apple’s noise cancellation technology is renowned for its effectiveness. However, if you’re looking for alternative options, there are other reputable brands offering excellent ANC headphones and earbuds.
By following these instructions, you can fully utilize the noise control features of your AirPods Max or AirPods Pro, enhancing your listening experience and keeping you connected to your surroundings when necessary.
