Do AirPods have noise cancellation?
Yes, Apple earphones including AirPods Pro and AirPods Max feature active noise cancellation technology. You can switch between noise cancellation and transparency modes while listening to audio from your iPhone on AirPods Max. To do so, follow these instructions.
Open Control Center on your iPhone.
While wearing your AirPods Max and connected to your iPhone, touch and hold the volume slider until some more AirPods Max Controls are visible to you.
Tap the Noise Cancellation icon in the lower-left corner of your iPhone screen.
Choose any one of the following options,
- Noise Cancellation
- Transparency
- Off
Select the first option to enable Noise-canceling in AirPods Max.
An alternative way of doing the same is via iPhone Settings. On your iPhone device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
Tap the Info button, adjacent to your AirPods in the list of devices.
Tap Noise Cancellation, Transparency, or Off.
You can also change noise control modes via your AirPods Max. Simply press the noise control button on the right headphone. You’ll hear a chime sound confirming the change.
What are Active Noise Cancelation and Transparency mode?
Active Noise Cancellation, as the name suggests is a technique designed to detect and cancel external sounds from reaching your ears by countering them with anti-noise.
Transparency mode, on the other hand, allows outside sound to flow in, so you can know what’s happening around you. Both, Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode work best when your AirPods Max is comfortably placed and covers your ears fully well.
How do AirPods Max cancel noise?
Apple’s over-ear headphones are designed to perform well even during windy conditions. So, when Active Noise Cancellation or ANC is enabled, its outward-facing microphones detect external sound and nullify it by corresponding inverted audio frequencies before it reaches your ears. Similarly, the inward-facing microphone listens inside your ear for unwanted internal sounds and counters with anti-noise.
