“Adaptive Transparency,” one of the new capabilities unveiled with the second generation AirPods Pro, takes Transparency Mode to the next level by suppressing particular noises while still allowing users to hear what’s vital around them. However, with the release of iOS 16.1 beta 3, owners of the first-generation AirPods Pro now have access to this setting in the iOS Settings app.
Transparency Mode, for those who are new, is a function included in the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max that employs the built-in microphones to allow users to hear the environment around them without having to remove the headphones.
