Hello,
I've been using AirPods Pro 2 since last November and have been really satisfied with the performance of the ANC. But all this changed since the update from yesterday. I first noticed it in my office today. There is an AC that produces a bit of low rumble which my AirPods had no trouble of cancelling out. But today after I put them on, I immediately noticed the difference and thought I'd accidentally turned off the ANC. So I went to check in the settings and ANC was on. There is a supermarket on my way home, where I almost stop by everyday after work and my AirPods had no trouble of cancelling out the hum from the freezers, but today I could hear the hum faintly but very clearly. Also when I took the subway home, I could hear people talking 4-5 meters away from me which I never did. Before the updated, I could barely hear people talking next to me. I understand that this might only be my case and may not happen to every one. And before you tell me that this is placebo. I'm a professional musician for the past 20 years and I can confidently say that I trust my ears and what I hear.
