In 2023, Apple revealed adaptive audio as one of the functions that would come to the AirPods Pro 2, but it was not until the end of last year that it was finally enabled in early 2024 and many users have been able to try it, counting the benefits of this technology, which provides an immersive audio experience.
This function is exclusive to the company’s highest-end headphones and is compatible with iOS 17, since much of its operation requires the cell phone, which is what will offer the user control.
Adaptive audio can be similar to noise cancellation, which has been one of the most common features of hearing aids in recent years, but it goes a step further and allows you to have greater control of your environment.
This feature consists of dynamically adjusting the level of noise cancellation and transparency of the AirPods Pro 2 according to the environment and the user’s preferences, so as not to completely isolate themselves from the surrounding environment.

For example, the headphones will increase the noise cancellation level when out on the street or lower it if we are working in the office. Everything will be done automatically or also manually, which changes the relationship with the environment by being able to understand what is happening outside the headphones.
Adaptive audio works thanks to the sensors and microphones in the hearing aids. In this way it detects the level of ambient noise and user activity, adjusting the balance between noise cancellation and transparency.
To activate this function you must have an iPhone compatible with iOS 17 and AirPods Pro 2, since it is an exclusive function of these headphones, then you must follow these steps:
1. On mobile, swipe down from the top right corner to open Control Center.
2. Touch and hold the volume control icon.
3. From the drop-down menu, choose the “Adaptive” option under sound settings.

Already within the function, different types of uses will be offered according to user preferences and how they want to level the noise in their environment:
– Noise control: detects the level of ambient noise and adjusts active noise cancellation, allowing the user to concentrate on the music or podcast they are listening to.
– Conversation detection: recognizes when you are in a conversation, reducing noise cancellation so you can interact with people and headphones on. When the conversation ends, the hearing aids increase the volume to the previous level.
– Automatic volume adjustment: not only adapts the noise cancellation, but also the volume of the content played.
It is also possible to activate it through Siri. In that case, you will only have to call the assistant with the voice command and then tell them: “Activate custom volume” or “Activate conversation recognition”, so that they configure either of the two options.
Furthermore, within the options we can remove the adaptive audio and choose other functions such as noise cancellation and transparency, the latter will make us hear everything that is happening around us.
It is important to mention that this new function is compatible with an iPad that has iPadOS 17 and with a Mac that has a version of the macOS 14 Sonoma operating system or later, which allows you to enjoy different levels of immersion in different environments.
