The new AirPods Pro come with various features that enhance the listening experience beyond just audio playback. Users should be aware that the ear tip size can significantly impact noise cancellation, comfort, and microphone clarity. Upon unboxing, individuals will find multiple ear tip sizes, and it's advisable to ensure a proper fit.
To test the fit, connect the AirPods Pro and navigate to the Settings app, selecting the “Ear Tip Fit Test.” This feature will assess the fit and recommend trying different sizes if needed. The AirPods Pro 3 offers five ear tip sizes for users to choose from.
Additionally, these earbuds feature various listening modes like Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, and Adaptive Audio, which adjusts based on the user's environment. With the introduction of iOS 18, users can customize the Adaptive Audio settings for a tailored listening experience.
Switching between modes can be done by pressing and holding the force sensor on the stem or through the Control Center on an iPhone. Furthermore, the Conversation Awareness feature allows for interaction with others while wearing the AirPods, though reactions to this feature vary among users.
