The third beta of iOS 16.1 released earlier this week extends the adaptive transparency feature introduced with the second-generation AirPods Pro to the original AirPods Pro.
As noted on Reddit, first-generation AirPods Pro owners who also have the AirPods beta software will now see an “Adaptive Transparency” toggle in the AirPods section of the Settings app. Beta 5A304A firmware is required to see the setting.
Apple introduced Adaptive Transparency with the AirPods Pro 2. It’s designed to allow AirPods to block out loud sounds, such as sirens, construction work, or speakers at a concert without blocking out all noise.
The AirPods Pro 2 have an upgraded H2 chip that allows Adaptive Transparency to work, so it’s not yet clear how Adaptive Transparency with the H1 chip in the original AirPods Pro works in comparison.
