At WWDC 2023, AirPods Pro appeared in surprise! When everyone thought there was lossless encoding, Apple said no, they would bring a new “Adaptive Audio”Adaptive Audio. Specifically, it is to make the existing true wireless in-ear noise-cancelling headphones automatically adjust with the volume of the user’s surrounding environment.
We have seen similar functions in Sony’s true wireless headphones. It is to allow users to listen without having to listen at a single ANC intensity, and to solve the problem that some users are not able to withstand ANC. I’m still looking forward to comparing the two. On the other hand, AirPods Pro will also have the ability of “dialogue perception”, which will use machine learning to automatically reduce the volume of the earphones when the user speaks, reduce background noise, and then enhance the sound in front of the user, so that Users can communicate with others without taking off the headset.
Apple has also improved the transfer speed of AirPods headphones across devices, allowing users to listen to audio from different Apple devices more naturally with a pair of headphones.
Finally, Apple has added new gesture operations to AirPods Pro, AirPods 3, and AirPods Max, allowing users to mute or unmute with one click by pressing the earpiece handle or digital knob during a call, improving the call experience.
