    iPhone 15 Pro, can the action button switch the Noise Canceling mode on my Airpods Pro 2?

    Hello. I'm aiming at getting a 15 Pro early next spring, however I'd like to know if the action button can be configured with a specific thing I have in mind. From what I could gather it can do pretty much everything via the shortcut menu, however I'd like to set it to switch the noise...

    [Airpods Pro] Questions about the ANC and latency with macOS

    Hello everyone. Normally I wouldn't purchase the airpods pro as they're not the product for me. When it comes to everyday use, audio quality is my only priority, and I already got better sounding earbuds. Not to mention a 2nd generation is clearly coming soon. That said, I just received some...

    AirPods Max ANC: Does it learn over time?

    Edit: Doesn't look like it does. But the ANC performs well nevertheless. Original post: *** Here's an observation. I got my pair yesterday. Out of the box the ANC was pretty much on par with my Bose NC700, more or less. There are certain rattling fans and whirring freezers in this house that...

    Adaptive Noise Canceling of my Beats Studio 3 works fine while listening to music. But when making phone calls the background noise seems to be amplified by the headphones. I use them wireless. Factory reset or latest firmware does not help. Apple support could not help me / they did not know...
