Active noise reduction modes and transparency of AirPods Pro and Airpods Max

Airpods Pro and AirPods Max incorporate three noise control modes: active noise reduction, transparency and disabled. You can go from one to the other depending on what you want to hear around you.

What is the active reduction modes of noise and transparency ?

When you activate noise reduction mode, one or more outdoor -oriented microphones detect ambient noises. Your AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation) or AirPods Max then generates an antibray that blocks them before you can hear them. In addition, an inward -oriented microphone detects unwanted noise in your ear. They are also neutralized by a fog generated by your AirPods Pro or Airpods Max. Transparency mode lets out the external sounds so that you can remain attentive to your environment. Active noise and transparency reduction modes work optimally when your AirPods Pro are perfectly adjusted to your ears. If you have pro AirPods (2nd generation) and the latest version of iOS or iPados, you can also use adaptive transparency feature to reduce strong sounds around you. While you wear your AirPods Pro (2nd generation), connected to your iPhone or iPod Touch, go to settings> [your airpods], then activate adaptive transparency.
