Hello. I need to know if airpods pro 2nd generation have noise cancellation so other people dont hear any of my background noose during the calls i have with then. I mean, i know how noise cancellation work while i use ir myself, so i dont hear anything around, but i need to know if i can also do it so the people i call also dont hear any of my background sound. For example if i an in a bar or somewhere with music that they dont know and they can think i am in a silent place. Is there any difference on this topic compared to airpods pro first generation?
Got a tip for us?

No. Only your listening experience is noise cancelled when ANC is active. The mics in the AirPods are sensitive and do pick up background sounds. After all, being ear buds, the placement of the mic is closer to your ear than your mouth. If background noise suppression is of paramount concern, your best bet is a really expensive wired headset with boom mic, like ones used in call centers.
The ANC doesn't work for others but the the Airpods still do work in trying to suppress background noises in your call. It's not quite the same as ANC but I guess quite similar. But for your bar example, it'll still be quite loud for the person you're talking to.
