With Wi-Fi audio, customizable transparency mode, and a dust-proof rating, the AirPods Pro 3 will be my go-to product.
3 Personalized Volume
Automatically adjusts the volume according to the environment
Pocket Lint
Personalized volume is only available on second-generation AirPods Pro. When you enable this feature, your audio volume will automatically adjust based on the noise around you — for example, the volume will increase when you walk near a noisy construction site and decrease as you move away.

4 Speech Recognition
Reduce volume when speech is detected
Pocket Lint
Speech Recognition is another audio-focused feature that is similar to personalized volume. It adjusts the volume based on your surroundings. The feature lowers the volume when a conversation is detected and increases the volume when the conversation ends. This is a handy feature that aims to eliminate the need to pause and resume audio when it is interrupted for a short conversation.
To enable Speech Recognition： Open setting > Please select Airpods Pro > Switch Speech Recognition Green.

Apple’s AirPods are iconic, but with similar names and designs, it can be hard to tell the difference when buying one.
5 Noise reduction
Reduces ambient noise
Pocket Lint
Loud Volume Reduction is a spinoff of Active Noise Cancellation. When loud noises are detected, your AirPods will generate sound waves to try to cancel out the noise. Loud Volume Reduction is a great feature to use when you’re walking because it helps you avoid being annoyed by loud noises without changing other aspects of your listening experience, like personalized volume does.
To enable Noise reduction： Open setting,please select Airpods Pro,toggle Noise reduction Green.

6 Ear tip fit test
Make sure you’re using the right ear tips
Pocket Lint
The second-generation AirPods Pro comes with four sizes of silicone ear tips: extra small, small, medium, and large. Personally, I didn’t like the first-generation AirPods Pro, which only had three larger sizes, because only the extra small fit my ears perfectly. If you’re not sure which size ear tip works best for your ears, Apple offers an Ear Tip Fit Test in iOS. Running this test will tell you whether the ear tip size for either ear creates a good seal.
