Apple has introduced a new feature called Conversation Awareness to its second-generation AirPods Pro, which automatically detects when the user starts speaking and adjusts the volume accordingly. The feature enhances voices in front of the user while reducing background noise, making it easier to have conversations while wearing the earbuds. Conversation Awareness can be enabled through the settings menu or Control Center on the iPhone. However, it may not be suitable for those who talk to themselves or sing along with music.

Personalized Volume fine-tunes your listening experience based on environmental conditions and preferences. Mute Controls allow you to mute and unmute yourself during phone calls by pressing the stem of your AirPods Pro. Other updates include improved device switching and simplified voice commands for Siri.
