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.

Apple previewed Adaptive Audio and better switching for AirPods Pro 2 at WWDC. Adaptive Audio provides an intelligent mix of Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode, while Personalized Volume fine-tunes the audio mix based on a user's regular environment. Conversation Awareness lowers audio volume and enhances voices in front of the user, and Automatic Switching provides a faster and more reliable connection time. All modern AirPods models now have a mute feature.

The earphones have up to 1.6x better ANC than the previous model and up to 2x better Transparency performance. The buds also include playback correction, which attempts to remove residual acoustic artifacts that can be introduced by ANC or Transparency processing.

Apple-owned Beats is reportedly working on a refreshed set of Studio Pro noise-canceling headphones, which were spotted in the release candidate build of iOS 16.5. The new headphones are expected to offer more powerful noise cancellation, an improved transparency mode, and personalized spatial audio. They will come in four colors and are likely to replace the Studio 3 headphones, which were introduced in 2017. However, with an expected price tag of over $300, the Studio Pros will face stiff competition from high-end brands like Sony, Bose, and Sennheiser.

The Nord Buds 2, the latest earbuds from OnePlus, come with a few minor improvements over the previous model, including ANC and transparency mode, but at a higher price point of $60. While the earbuds still offer a comfortable fit and decent sound quality, there are instances of tearing or artifacting on the higher end, particularly when using the AAC standard on non-OnePlus devices. The added features feel half-baked, and the lack of wireless charging and other superficial features may not justify the elevated price tag. Overall, the original Nord Buds remain the better option for their simplicity, reliability, and affordability.
