The first-generation AirPods will get a new feature that is found on the AirPods Pro 2 called Adaptive Transparency.
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 features a new Adaptive Transparency feature that improves on the true wireless earbuds' Transparency Mode. The AirPods Pro 2, like the original model, has Active Noise Cancellation which removes distracting ambient noises from your earbuds. But there are times when you want to know what is happening around you.
Adaptive Transparency allows you to hear important background noise without blasting the sound in your ears. That's a pretty loud song that Paul McCartney said was written expressly to be the loudest and heaviest song at that time. But while the music plays, with ANC enabled, you might not hear the siren from the ambulance bearing down on you while you're in the crosswalk.
Those with the older AirPods Pro might be saying,"I wish I had this feature without having to buy the sequel." Well, guess what. You might have your wish. Someusers with the OG AirPods Pro noticed that after installing iOS 16.1 Beta 3 , Adaptive Transparency has appeared as an option on the first-generation AirPods Pro. It comes with the new AirPods beta firmware with the build number 5A304a.
In case you're wondering whether this was a mistake on Apple's part, it doesn't appear to be so. A Reddit user with the handle of"Jeff03blue_Instinct" writes this about his first-generation AirPods Pro,"Every morning it works for me opening this door that has a high pitch screech. The noise gets whited out as the door opens. Edit: It did not use to do this.
