[Software] How To Turn off Adaptive Transparency In AirPods Pro 2

Don't like the new Adaptive Transparency feature in second-generation AirPods Pro? Here's how you can turn it off.

AirPods Pro 2 features adaptive transparency mode - you can turn it off using your iPhone and iPad
With the second-generation AirPods Pro, Apple introduced a new feature called Adaptive Transparency. It is like regular Transparency mode, except that it works a little harder to reduce loud noises around you. For example, if someone is doing construction, loud noises will be instantly lowered, such as hammer noises and so on. It's a fantastic feature if you want to stay aware of your surroundings but don't want to lose your hearing while doing so.

However, some users might find the feature to be slightly distracting whenever the lowering of volume kicks in. It feels odd, to say the least. Thankfully, you can turn the feature off if you like. It's super easy to do if you're using the AirPods Pro 2 with an iPhone or iPad.

But do keep in mind that this feature - Adaptive Transparency - is limited to the AirPods Pro second-generation for now due to the new H2 chip. We are quite sure that it will make its way to the AirPods Max whenever they are updated with the new chip.

Tutorial
Step 1. Assuming you are connected to your iPhone or iPad, launch the Settings app.

Step 2. Right under Apple ID, you'll see your AirPods Pro settings entry. Tap on it to open.

Step 3. Scroll down a little and find the Adaptive Transparency option.

Step 4. Tap on it to disable.

There's really nothing more you have to do. Once the option is disabled, your AirPods won't lower loud noises whenever they occur around you. If you want to turn the feature back on, just follow the above steps again and enable the Adaptive Transparency toggle switch in the very last step.

Personally, I keep the feature turned on at all times. The feature especially helps when there's wind noise, and the AirPods Pro microphone picks it up with Transparency mode enabled. The adaptive feature makes sure it is toned down to a point where it is more tolerable.
