which works by harnessing the power of two
microphones that have been combined with
advanced software to continuously adapt
to each individual ear and headphone fit.
The idea is that this will remove unwanted
background noise (think traffic and commuter
noise) and provide a balanced, customized, ever-
changing noise-canceling experience that is
reactive to the outside world.
Apple says that one microphone on each of
the AirPods Pro measures outward-facing
external sounds, analyzing environmental noise
and using software to react accordingly. The
AirPods then create an equivalent anti-noise
which can cancel out that background noise
before the listener can hear it in their ear, whilst
a secondary inward-facing microphone listens
towards the ear, canceling any remaining
noise that is detected by the microphone.
It’s advanced engineering and impressive
considering the size of the AirPods Pro (just 45.2
