Apple announced very interesting improvements for the AirPods Pro 2 with the presentation of iOS 17, such as “Adaptive Audio”. However Your most expensive and exclusive headphones are excluded from these improvements.
The “Adaptive Audio” is the new feature that the AirPods Pro 2 will gain with the arrival of iOS 17, but We also have the “Custom Volume” and the so-called “Attention to Conversations”. What is? Apple itself explains it to us:
With a completely new mode of escucha for the AirPods Pro (2ª generation), the adaptive audio dynamically combines the transparency and the cancellation activa de ruido para adaptar la experience de control de ruido a medida that you move between entornos cambiantes and interactions a lo largo of the day.
Custom volume uses machine learning to adjust your media experience based on your preferences over time and the environment around you. If you start talking to someone nearby, Conversation Attention automatically lowers the volume of any media, reduces background noise, and enhances voices in front of you.
After a few days of testing these new features after installing betas on my iPhone and AirPods Pro 2, I have to say that while there are still bugs to iron out, these are features that I see.one to make our AirPods magical again compared to other headphones. I no longer use street noise cancellation or transparency mode because the new “Adaptive Audio” works great and eliminates noise when there is noise without isolating me from my surroundings. And when you start talking to someone, the volume decreases to listen, it even pauses playback until you’re done talking, all automatically. It’s just magical and I love it.
However, my AirPods Max that I have on the shelf and which cost me more than double my AirPods Pro 2, with their premium materials and their undeniable sound quality, find themselves without these novelties. Headphones with an official price of more than 600 $, which remain at the same price as on the day of their launch (with the exception of a few offers on Amazon) and which will not receive the latest news announced by Apple. Can anyone figure it out? Certainly not. Yes, I know the excuse is the H1 processor these AirPods Max have (the AirPods Pro 2 have an H2 processor), but For your most exclusive, expensive and premium earphones to remain without an update is not acceptable
