Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 have continued to be a popular choice for wireless earbuds, offering features such as Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Personalized Volume. With the possibility of more features being announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, users can explore some lesser-known features available on the AirPods Pro 2. These tips can also be used with earlier models of AirPods and AirPods Max headphones, as long as the devices are updated to the latest version of iOS 17.
One of the convenient features of the AirPods Pro 2 is the Control Center, which allows users to access various settings. By adding the Hearing option to the Control Center, users can easily adjust settings like noise control mode, conversational awareness, and Live Listen, which amplifies sounds picked up by the iPhone microphone. The Hearing icon in the Control Center provides quick access to battery charge information and control over the enabled options. Additionally, using Headphone Accommodations allows for further customization of the audio experience.
Personalized spatial audio is another feature that utilizes the TrueDepth camera on the iPhone to map the shape of the user’s ears, providing a unique audio experience. Users can also share audio with a friend by connecting another pair of AirPods or Beats to their device, allowing them to listen to the same content simultaneously. Siri can also describe photos received in the Messages app when wearing AirPods Pro 2, enhancing the accessibility and convenience of the device.
The Shortcuts app on the iPhone offers an opportunity to unlock additional settings for the AirPods Pro 2. By creating a custom Shortcut that automatically adjusts noise control mode and volume when the AirPods connect to the iPhone, users can optimize their listening experience. This automation can be set up to run every time the AirPods are connected to the device, providing a seamless transition to preferred settings. Keep an eye out for potential updates and new features for the AirPods Pro 2 at upcoming events like the Worldwide Developers Conference.
