The AirPods didn’t cut the volume level quite as much as did my standby Loop Experience Earplugs, which manage an 18 dB volume reduction. I tested the Adaptive Transparency tool at a medium-loud concert where the band was peaking at 106-110 dB (as measured by the dB Meter app on my iPhone 12 Pro), and I was pleasantly surprised by the effect. But when Adaptive Transparency is engaged, it imposes a sound limiter/suppression feature that tamps down the volume of sound beaming through the ear bud microphones. Normally the Transparency tool opens up the earbuds to receive outside sound blended with your music.

New and exclusive to the second gen AirPods Pro is an Adaptive Transparency option that can be layered atop the (previously available) Transparency mode. This iOS Control Center widget can warn you if your AirPods Pro are cranked up too loud. Other notifications can be turned on in your iPhone’s Settings under Accessibility/A/V, and as an app (Noise) for the Apple Watch. The meter shows up in the Ear window on the iPhone. An on-screen Sound Pressure meter can trigger alerts when you’ve cranked the AirPod Pro’s volume too loud or are lingering in a dangerously loud area, such as a construction zone. Other features not found elsewhere in bud-land make the new AirPod Pros a more functional friend, likely to be employed in unconventional settings like restaurants and concert halls where wearing earbuds might seem antisocial, silly, or counterproductive.Īctivate the Live Listen feature (accessible in the Ear tab) and the Pros can double as hearing aids, amplifying sounds picked up on your iPhone’s microphone.Īnother feature aims to help music blasters avoid permanent hearing damage. What hearing safety features do the second-gen AirPods Pro have? Just five minutes of charge in the carry case gets these AirPods going again for an hour. Just plop the second-gen Pro case down on a magnetized MagSafe pad, Qi-certified charger, or–new and currently exclusive to the Pro 2–on a magnetically connected Apple Watch puck charger.

(The MagSafe feature was unavailable when the first Pros came out, then was added in a model upgrade two years later.) Users should also get a charge out of the multiple ways this MagSafe-adept case and buds can regain their depleted power. Do the AirPods Pro offer wireless charging? That means the AirPods Pro should survive a jog on a rainy day, but dropping them in a pool would be a no-no. The buds and case for the new AirPods Pro arrive with an IPX4 rating, denoting protection against splashing water in any direction. Another option is to slip a lanyard into the charging case’s new lanyard loop.
The only downside is you’ll have to cover up the custom insignia or emoji which Apple is offering to carve into the case. Yeah, a non-slip, custom fitting rubber cover is recommended for the new AirPods case, and third parties are already selling them for as little as $10 on Amazon.
